More to this story than meets the eye..
Birmingham chief Peter Pannu insists that the club will not be giving Alex McLeish permission to talk to any clubs.
McLeish quit the Second City outfit on Sunday, via email, and is now believed to be in contention to take charge at arch-rivals Aston Villa.
But acting chairman Pannu says the club will try and block efforts, as they have been left angered by McLeish's departure.
"To get an email when I am on business in Amsterdam speaks volumes," said Pannu.
"He is still our contracted staff and Birmingham City does not grant him any right to speak to any outsiders until the matter is resolved."

"We have spent £40m and supported him all the way and what we get is a relegation and a snub."
Wonder if he met up with Roger, and what biz do Villa have in the Red light district ? I wonder again.
