Built In Birmingham: Brady & The Blues

A new dawn beckons for the seemingly cursed Birmingham City Football Club thanks to a takeover by a wealthy American consortium led by billionaire Tom Wagner and NFL icon Tom Brady. With fresh investment into the club, there's plenty of optimism ahead of the 2023/24 season, but the mood quickly sours thanks to a shock managerial change which has unintended and disastrous consequences.

After an unexpected relegation, the pressure is on Tom Brady and Tom Wagner to prove their worth to the notoriously vocal Birmingham City fans. Appointing an exciting young coach and spending record sums on the playing squad and stadium, Blues now have a target on their back in League One and face a huge early test in the shape of Wrexham - in front of a host of VIP guests.

Chris Davies and his Birmingham City side are under pressure following a poor run of results, not least from expectant Blues fans. As the team look to turn their form around, record signing Jay Stansfield makes a poignant return to Exeter City – a club with deep, personal ties to his family.

As Birmingham City battle the brutal winter schedule, Tom Brady’s unparalleled knowledge of elite performance comes to the fore. There’s a huge sporting weekend on both sides of the Atlantic, with Brady calling Super Bowl LIX while Blues test their progress in an FA Cup clash with Premier League giants Newcastle United.

Trophies and records are in sight as the end of the 2024/25 season approaches. Millions are at stake as Birmingham City aim to secure a vital promotion back to the Championship, while Tom Brady and Tom Wagner fly over for the Vertu Trophy final at the home of English football, Wembley. Can Blues handle the pressure, or will the curse strike again?
