Simon Jordan

Birmingham boss David Sullivan has threatened to sue Simon Jordan over an alleged verbal attack on chief executive Karren Brady.

Jordan is reported to have blasted Brady over an enquiry for Andy Johnson and Sullivan wants to take legal action.

"We will be putting it in the hands of our solicitors and libel experts," Sullivan told The Sun.

"I believe in free speech and this may just be one man's opinion. But I don't know why Simon Jordan wants to keep saying these things.

"He seems to have criticised almost everyone in football. It strikes me he has a serious problem and needs to see an anger-management expert."

Fellow Birmingham City co-owner David Gold added: "He's carrying a bitter grudge and is acting like a man who's had an argument with his wife and taking 10 years to get over it."
