Tom Brady, minority investor in Birmingham City, faced disappointment as the team was relegated from the Championship after a tumultuous season. The American ownership group, which includes Brady, saw the team struggle under three different coaches, including legendary Wayne Rooney. Despite a victory on the last day against Norwich City, Birmingham City was unable to avoid relegation along with Rotherham and Huddersfield Town.
Brady, who became a minority investor in Birmingham in August alongside the club’s new owners, Knighthead Capital Management LLC, is now set to see the team play in the English third division next season. The club had a promising start under John Eustace but a decision to replace him with Rooney proved disastrous, leading to a string of defeats. Despite efforts by Tony Mowbray as the new coach, Birmingham City could not secure their spot in the Championship.
Birmingham City’s relegation marks a disappointing end to a challenging season for the team and its ownership group, including NFL legend Tom Brady.
