Tom Brady Leaves Birmingham City Minority Ownership Role

Birmingham City confirmed the departure of NFL legend Tom Brady from his roles as minority owner and advisory board chairman.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion joined the Blues’ ownership group in 2023 as part of a high-profile acquisition led by Knighthead Capital Management. Brady’s exit comes as the club sits atop the Championship table, mounting a promotion push to the Premier League for the first time since 2011.

Club Thanks Brady for Three Years of Support

In a statement published on its official website, Birmingham City expressed gratitude for Brady’s contributions over the past three years. The club highlighted his experience and passion during a transformative period, which included a swift return to the Championship after relegation to League One.

“The Birmingham City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for the contribution and unconditional support offered to the club over the last three years. ‘It has been truly extraordinary to have a person with the experience and passion of Tom. The club intends to continue to grow on the foundations built, from the sports center to the community of Birmingham.'”

Brady’s involvement was most active during a turbulent time for the club. Birmingham had been relegated to League One for the 2023-24 season but secured an immediate promotion under Chris Davies. The Blues set a Football League record with 111 points that year before finishing 10th in the Championship last season.

Championship Race Tightens After International Break

With Brady’s departure now official, attention turns to the league table. Birmingham leads the Championship after 15 matches, holding a slim advantage over its closest rivals. Stoke City sits third, just one point behind the leaders on goal difference. Middlesbrough, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and West Bromwich Albion are also within a single point of the top spot, setting up a tightly contested promotion race.
