Blues fan here, first vid of yours I've watched. Thought you got most of it pretty spot on, the club's been in decline for years and years, we've used miracles to avoid the drop before, and to be fair I'm just glad when we did finally go we went under these owners. People will look at the Rooney decision and make their own minds up, but for blues fans it's more positive than it's been for most of my memory as an early 20's fan. Okay, Brady is mostly a figure for promotion and exposure as much as I can tell, and okay, the new stadium complex would be amazing but ambitious, but if we look outside of that, we've got plenty of reasons to be positive: 1) They've already invested £30m into the infrastructure at the stadium and training grounds. The stadium needed the stands repairing, but to say they gave it a lick of paint is an understatement. They did do that, but also completely ripped out the reception, turned several boxes into an top class bar for hospitality, revamped the home dressing room completely, and completely changed the outside of the kop stand to look really good now. I could list all the things they've done but it'd be a book, and this summer it'll rise to around £55m invested in infrastructure with work already underway to fix the PA system, add in wifi, re-do a load of the hospitality, create a new bar under the kop, create two fanzones outside the ground and more. This all, by the way, for a ground they plan to leave in the next 5-7 years. 2) They've recognised the importance of the fans, putting on ticket offers when possible (both Norwich and Coventry at home were basically £15 a ticket anywhere in the ground), they continue to put money behind bars around the ground at home but even on some away days too. They've opened up supporters clubs to allow fans a voice and opportunities to meet people at the club like the CEO, play on the pitch at St Andrews, etc. And they've put on quarterly "Open House" meetings for a reduced number of fans to attend and see their plans for the club unveiled (this is where the stadium news was announced). These are also streamed in their entirety free for all fans to watch. 3) They've massively increased the revenues of the club from what they were, recognising that the old owner's approach of cutting costs was killing the club where they focused on increasing revenue. This is included in big sponsorship deals with Undefeated, an american streetwear brand (that now also sells some mint Blues merch), and the Knighthead parent company to invest up to almost £10m a year on the FFP books depending on social media impressions (works great when you have someone like Tom Brady on board and Paik Seung-Ho playing for you drawing plenty of impressions from Korean fans). They said recently that (had we stayed in the league) we were on track to have the highest revenues in the championship outside of parachute payment clubs by the end of next season, allowing us to spend more on higher quality players. 4) Finally, as I know this is a long read, they publicly recognised their mistake in timing when sacking Eustace to appoint Rooney, and vowed to "never disrupt positive momentum ever again". In fact, this question was raised at the open house and they could've ignored it but actively chose to respond to it and own their mistake. They also noted the improvements to the process of making such decisions in an effort to never repeat a mistake like that. We may have gone down, but we have every reason in the world to be optimistic about the future under our owners, beyond the flashy headlines.

"Birmingham City won the League Cup in 2011 and got relegated from the Premier League that same year." Two years later, Wigan Athletic won the FA Cup and got relegated from the Premier League in just 3 days. Both teams have since then never made a Premier League return.

The thing is too. Relegation could potentially be a great thing for them. They've got a chance to rebuild, and come back stronger. Sure, not everyone can have that. But it'll give a chance of Blues to rebuild, and get better. Just look at Ipswich, they spent years in the Championship, got relegated, and now they're in the PL. Again, not all stories end good.

Birmingham city fan here, I’ve been watching your content for a while, well said and spoken mate like always. I am a younger supporter of the club so the first season I remember going to a match was is 16/17. I’ve been supporting the club and watching games for a while but never really took a major interest in it. This season was where it clicked for me, I’d check the score every week I knew the squad and I got really involved in the sport. Anyway, although I don’t know much before 16/17 What I will say is it was coming, we were going to something happpen to us eventually and through lots of events, having 6 mangers all with a diffent/modified style of play can definitely make it’s harder. But great video none the less. We will be back UTB

As a Blues fan you've hit the nail on the head, its been such a rollercoaster of emotions season and that final day was heart breaking but also gave a sense of hope that we might come back with some life, would also be nice to see us win a league. Might be the slap in the face we needed.

Great video Liam, Its refreshing to see someone actually do their research when discussing us and our recent history. I've been a blues fan since 2010, My first full season was the League Cup winning season, One of the best moments of my life coinciding with relegation and since then its been an absolute chore to support my football club. These owners have been absolutely fantastic, Clearing our over £100 million worth of debt, Investing £20 million rebuilding St Andrews alone and we've seen and heard more from them this season than we ever did from the previous ownership, Their one mistake in sacking John Eustace ended up being a costly one, however, I truly believe they'll take us to where they want us to go and if that means a season in league one so be it. I'm not going to be as silly as to underestimate league one and think we'll walk it but I'm looking forward to potentially finishing above 17th for once. One thing on Rooney, He seemed to listen to the vocal minority that were against him and ignored the thousands chanting his name every week. He really didn't help himself, Calling out players publicly, not even acknowledging our fans home or away and I don't feel the need to address the 2 wins in 15. I personally loved him as a player and was desperate for him to succeed, cause why would we want your own manager to do well. Great video once again and KRO.

As a blues fan I think that although the Rooney appointment was disastrous, the Mowbray appointment was great and if it wasn’t for his illness I have no doubts we would’ve stayed up. We also had 50 points by the end a total that is supposed to be the safety threshold in the championship and with these new owners I’m confident we are in a better position for the future than every championship club bar the ones with parachute payments, we just have to keep right on!

These owners value popularity and what will get in the news headlines over success.

As a blues fan I refute the claim that we didn’t accept Rooney, and I’ve been very annoyed with his quotes in the press since suggesting he deserved more time etc. After a rocky start, the board asked for patience and we saw one or two moments of it clicking, and the crowd largely got behind him and the team. It was another 11/12 games after that request for confidence when the fans started turning on him because we’d seen nothing to be hopeful about, and we were fast approaching the transfer window. Additionally, It was only really the last game where they chanted Rooney out for everyone to hear.

Very accurate throughout tbh, been a very tough few yrs for us as fans but I feel if we learn from the mistakes of last season and bring the right sort of players and people into the club we can return to the top soon

The bigger thing was Tony Mowbray getting sick, and having his assistant Mark Venus come in. Somehow Venus was significantly worse than Rooney and the club should’ve gone straight to Rowett.

3:50 - Just on this as well, we were relegated on 39 points. Since the 2011 season, no other team has been relegated when achieving that amount of points. If you had 39 points, you would have been safe in every single season since

Can't imagine what Tom Brady is thinking Probably the greatest winner in the history of sports considering positional value, taking historically bad teams to titles, and success compared to other teams in their entire histories The most losing he ever did was winning a division championship and went a decade where the most losing he did was while playing for the eventual world champions who got a bye that year so the title wasn't a shock

Wagner is great. When we went to liecester away in the cup he out £45,000 behind one of the bars and regularly made drinks cheaper around the ground. Just little things that would never had happened before

Different goals for them next season at least, surely they push for promotion, might be more exciting for the fans than being mid table in the championship. Good luck Birmingham 👍

I honestly thought when they posted the L1 line up image on twitter it was L2 by mistake, we look so out of place it’s not even funny. I’ve ran through the requisite stages of grief, now I’m looking forward to new grounds to go to (If I can even get a ticket), apart from Charlton, Barnsley & possibly Bolton they’re all gone be tiny allocations. Remember having fun 30 years ago as a kid when we were this low…BRING IT ON. Say what you want about Rooney, but our impressions went through the roof!!!

Despite what’s happened in the past decade, we are now entering the most exciting period of our clubs history with our new owners, up the blues 💙

I liked Birmingham City in the PL. A good enough team in their day to beat any of the Big 6 on par with Stoke City which is another club I really miss in the Premier League. Weird to think both Joselu and Bellingham both played for these clubs at one point!

I am west Bromwich Albion fan, and to be honest I think the blues board dropped a massive mistake by taking on Wayne Rooney. I have tried to understand how they could sack eustace after the blues battered us 3-1. But sadly they have been at the bottom of the championship for a number of years. Maybe it will be a good thing the club, as they can refocus and rebuild

About Birmingham's relegation to League One, the owners really have to take the blame for themselves, no doubt about that. However, I think what cost them at the end was the two draws away from home against Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town. If you look at their home record this season, they are 9th out of 24 teams with 36 points, but away from home was terrible, just 14 points out of the possible 69 (23rd in the away table). To think they got relegated with 50 points is mental. The 6th team ever in the Championship era to suffer relegation despite getting 50+ points. We actually go from Bolton Wanderers just surviving in the Championship 2017/18 with just 43 points to Birmingham City suffering relegation in the Championship 2023/24 with 50 points.

Dear Wayne Rooney, Your managerial career is, for the time being, over. You honestly would have a better chance at this point becoming a professional boxer. Sincerely, the EFL Football Fan Community

pretty sure Chelsea will hire him, only makes sense!

Great vid

Tbf as a blues fan im trying to see the positives 😂 were in desperate need of a complete rebuild, potentially a league and cup double and a hell of challenge for the fm25 😂

All I'll say is, under the previous Chinese criminals, the club's existence would have been in serious jeopardy had we gone down to league 1. The current owners are actively demonstrating they are putting in all the foundations of a successful club and are deeply invested and committed to the club and the city.

Problem is if they fail to get promoted next season the new owners will likely sell up. They have bought a business they don’t understand

Don't understand why villa fans are so happy about blues going down, I know the teams hate each other but the matches between these 2 teams produce some of the best atmosphere in football worldwide. I always loved the derby games win or lose but it seems like villa fans are just not interested in playing derby games. Any other team licks their lips at a derby game as it has potential to have the most exciting minutes in the entire season.

Sacking John Eustace for Rooney is relegation worthy. The irony of Eustace relegating them was kinda funny. Appointing a big name doesn't guarantee success. I feel bad for their fans. They don't deserve this

I can’t lie, the season we went down is probably my favourite championship season.

Keep right on

Decade of surviving until the mighty greens come along and send them down!!!!

Hiring Rooney who has done nothing but relegate teams as a manager was the biggest fuck up. He's not a good manager, never will be.

9:05 Really enjoy your Videos. Just one minor detail. Would be great if you could make some parts a bit easier to understand for football fans who don't know English football by heart. As a German, I had to pause the video for a moment and think about it to remember that conference is the fifth English league. Carry on.

this hurt

Such a big club got all the ambition in the world second city, big fanbase and passionate fans. These owners will get them back to the prem, they might do an Ipswich and win back to back promotion.

Back to Back promotions are a huge challenge for the Prem but momentum can be a powerful thing 100%

@@Vizehin think they have the money to do so next year will be huge

The last 13 years have been hell as a bluenose and the relegation to league 1 is truly heartbreaking. I completely get that from an outsiders perspective it’s hard to understand but I do stand behind our new owners and I do truly believe they will do us justice. The last owners did not care about the game they were criminals and let us rot. Tom Wagner has an uphill battle ahead of him but this is the most bit of positivity we have had in over a decade. Watch this space

They clearly care about the club, they may make mistakes but their heart is in right place, think next year will be a good one for you boys

I appreciate your optimism and fairness in your video it’s been a tough week with what feels like every clubs fans taking a shot at us.

They are fucked. League 1 is a different beast to the Champ. More physical and direct. If Wagner wants to play tippy-tappy pretty ‘no fear football’ (what ever the fuck that means) then they’ll get rolled. League 1 requires ugly

“Giofranco Zola”

Still a bluenose till I die

Bradys only involvement was probably sending Alex Guerrero over there.

what’s the font you use at the start of the video?

great videos, would be great if you could make your voice louder compared to the rest of the audio, i listen on 100% volume and still cant hear you properly
