Former Birmingham City star Curtis Davies has spoken to FourFourTwo about one player's contract, which almost tore the club apart – and how he backed his team-mate over the club.
Nikola Zigic was awarded a huge contract upon signing for the Blues – but it later transpired that the club had failed to put in a relegation clause to reduce his wages. Upon dropping to the Championship, Birmingham failed to find a new home for their 6ft 7in striker, even looking to sell homegrown goalkeeper Jack Butland as an easier asset to shift in the face of administration.
