Birmingham may be forced to sell Jack Butland Birmingham may be forced to sell Jack Butland in January to keep the club out of administration. The 19-year-old England goalkeeper is wanted by several teams and Liverpool are understood to have already held talks. Blues rejected a £6m bid from Southampton for Butland in the summer, but acting chairman Peter Pannu has admitted the cash-strapped club may not be able to resist such temptations next month. "Give me a £15m offer for Jack Butland, can I say no?" said Pannu. I have rejected £6m from Southampton (in the summer) but I rejected it when finances were OK. I might not be able to reject it if I get something similar. Nikola Zigic, 32, is another high earner who could leave - his £50,000 plus-a-week wages are also a threat to the Blues' finances.
