Birmingham City announced a sudden split from Tom Brady on October 10, just as the club leads the English League One table in pursuit of a Premier League return, according to Sportal Korea.
The club confirmed the departure through official channels. The three-year tenure of the former NFL quarterback as advisory board chairman and co-owner came to an end abruptly.
Birmingham City released a formal statement regarding the exit. The club expressed sincere gratitude to Brady for his unwavering support and active involvement in club management over the past three years.
The statement praised his experience and passion. The club noted that having a figure of his stature associated with the team was a privilege and a genuine honor.
Brady joined the ownership group in 2023 alongside Tom Wagner following a share acquisition. The pair drove aggressive investments and structural reforms following a relegation to the third tier.
