Gianni Paladini today insisted his takeover is still on – despite the club saying there were no active talks.

The Solihull-based super agent's consortium have had a revised £30m bid for control rejected but talks are ongoing.

"In 10 days we will move in and buy the club," said Paladini.

Blues' acting chairman Peter Pannu said: "There are no active negotiations with the group involving Gianni Paladini or any of his associates."

Paladini responded by saying: "I could show the public all the documents and details of our bid if I wanted."
