Birmingham City co-owner Tom Brady was recently spotted at the F1 Miami Grand Prix, where he commented on his club’s relegation from the Championship. The race took place shortly after Birmingham’s relegation to League One was finalized. Brady was introduced as an investor and board member by the club in August, emphasizing his intention to leverage his winning track record in his sport to achieve “success” at St Andrew’s.

However, Birmingham’s season concluded with a 22nd place finish, one point shy of safety, as relegation rivals Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday, and Blackburn Rovers all secured victories on the final day. Following his dismissal in January, Brady was replaced by experienced manager Tony Mowbray. Subsequently, Birmingham’s performance declined, and they became embroiled in the relegation battle.

Although a goal by Paik Seung-ho in the 55th minute secured a win on the final day, it was insufficient to maintain their position in the second tier. Interim manager Gary Rowett expressed deep disappointment, and highlighted the missed opportunity for favorable outcomes elsewhere to support their efforts. He also remarked on the importance of consistent dedication and discipline in achieving success, citing areas where it fell short during his tenure.
