Tom Brady addresses Birmingham City exit but makes no mention of Tom Wagner

Tom Brady’s passion for Birmingham City was made clear in Amazon Prime series

Tom Brady’s involvement with Birmingham City went beyond simply being a minority investor, with the NFL legend regularly featuring in the club’s behind-the-scenes documentary.

His departure from the Advisory Board Chairman role has therefore attracted attention, particularly given Birmingham’s impressive start to life back in the Championship.

The former NFL quarterback was part of the Knighthead-led project following the 2023 takeover and witnessed both the disappointment of relegation to League One and the subsequent promotion-winning campaign.

Brady’s latest farewell message was full of praise for the players, Chris Davies, staff and supporters. However, one notable omission was Tom Wagner, the Knighthead co-founder who helped bring him to St Andrew’s.

Despite his relatively limited attendance at matches, Brady’s profile brought considerable attention to the club, with his involvement also documented in Amazon Prime’s behind-the-scenes series.

His exit now brings an end to an intriguing chapter in Birmingham’s recent history, just as the club looks to build on its strong start to the Championship season.
