Cont of the Week

On Monday, the Birmingham City chairman David Gold was interviewed by the BBC in relation to abuse he and co-owner David Sullivan received by their own supporters. Immediately after news confirmed that Birmingham had been relegated, Birmingham fans turned their fury on the two owners and Sullivan's two sons.

Gold and Sullivan complained that they had never seen such abuse during their time at Birmingham City. They called the abuse disturbing and uncalled for.

Bollocks.

Those two conts deserve whatever abuse is thrown their way.

Sullivan and Gold became owners of Birmingham City to make money, which they have achieved. Now they want to sell up and get out. Sullivan's shares are for sale at 12 million pounds. A massive profit from what he bought them for.

In December 2007, they tried to sell the club to Hong Kong businessman Carson Yeung. That deal fell through. However, the protracted negotiations with Yeung were one of the reasons behind ex-manager's Steve Bruce's departure to Wigan Athletic.

Bruce was unhappy that Yeung's consortium would not discuss a new contract.

Bruce kept Wigan up, while Birmingham went down.

In April 2008, Sullivan and Managing Director Karen Brady were arrested and questioned by police in connection with allegations of false accounting and conspiracy to defraud.

Sullivan and Gold are conts. Trying to sell their shares mid-season for personal profit is greed at its worst. They weren't thinking of the club's best interests. They were only thinking of themselves. The Birmingham fans didn't come into the equation.

Men like Sullivan and Gold are prime examples of conts who are now in charge of many football clubs around the world.

Fuck them all.
