Acting chairman dumped by Birmingham

ChampionshipBirmingham City have confirmed the club has severed links with acting chairman Peter Pannu. Pannu signed a five-year consultancy agreement with majority shareholder Carson Yeung in September 2009.

In March, Yeung was jailed for six years by a Hong Kong court for money laundering.

"The service agreement of Peter Pannu will not be renewed beyond 30 September 2014," a statement on the club website said.

"Panagiotis Pavlakis (Panos) will continue to act as representative of the Birmingham City board in the UK and oversee the day-to-day running of the club with full support from the UK management team."
