Stephen Carr's future in limbo at Birmingham City

Stephen Carr has admitted he doesn’t know what the future holds for him at Birmingham City.

The Carling Cup-winning captain has not been formally offered a new contract by the club.

Carr, who has no plans to retire and believes he can play on for another couple of years yet, said he was still waiting on a decision.

It appears the 35-year-old has become a victim of the current state of limbo at Blues. Carson Yeung and parent company Birmingham International Holdings Limited have serious financial problems.

As one consequence Blues remain under a transfer embargo until BIHL’s accounts for last year are filed and concrete squad planning seems to be muddied.

‘‘We’ve spoken about it (a contract) but there’s no news. I’m still waiting to see what’s going to happen,” Carr said.

“I haven’t been offered anything and I don’t know if I will be offered anything. There’s a lot of ifs and buts, I suppose, with what’s going on at the club and in Hong Kong.

“But there’s been nothing said definitely, so I don’t know where we stand to be honest.”

A knee injury thwarted Carr from December onwards but he would have been fit for the Championship play-off final, had Blues got there.
