St Andrew's stardust: Birmingham eye records and Premier League push
Briefly

Chris Davies took over Birmingham City amidst a concerning history of losses and relegation to League One. Under his leadership, the team remarkably turned this around, becoming champions and returning to the Championship with an impressive record of 30 league wins. Significant investment from their American owner, Knighthead Capital Management, has invigorated the club and sparked optimism. The long-term vision includes developing the local area into a sports quarter with a large stadium, while Tom Brady's involvement as a minority shareholder adds further prestige to their revival effort.
Birmingham were relegated to League One a month earlier after circling the drain for a while. When you hear something like that, it's powerful because you think: Wow, there are 92 teams.
Promotion served as a kind of redemption. The previous ownership was absent and uninterested. Knighthead addressed neglect on arrival in July 2023, spending 1m on the pitch and fixing broken dressing room showers.
