Birmingham City has announced the end of Tom Brady’s three-year involvement with the club, closing the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s association with the English side while it leads the Championship.
In a statement issued on Monday, 9 November, Birmingham thanked Brady for his contribution and support. The club praised the experience he brought and said it intended to build on the foundations of his involvement, including its connection with the local community.
The announcement leaves financial details open
The statement did not explain the departure or say what would happen to Brady’s shares, Reuters reported. It therefore does not establish a sale price, buyer or reason for the separation. Birmingham had 29 points from 15 league matches at the time of the announcement, leading on goal difference.
Brady became a minority investor in August 2023. Sky Sports reported that his time at the club encompassed relegation, an immediate return to the Championship and a subsequent 10th-place finish. Birmingham’s latest result was Saturday’s 2–1 victory over Swansea City, its seventh win in nine games.
A promotion campaign continues
Brady also chaired the club’s advisory board, according to beIN SPORTS. Under Chris Davies, Birmingham’s promotion from League One came with an English Football League record of 111 points. The club is now pursuing its first Premier League appearance since 2011, with a visit to Stoke City next after the international break.
