Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight tackles Birmingham City FC
Peaky Blinder creator Steven Knight has said his new series on Birmingham City FC turned into a story when the club's US takeover series, which is streaming from Friday, follows the club as it is bought by former NFL quarterback Tom Brady and US businessman Tom Wagner, after a deal was struck in who is also writing the new James Bond film, is executive producer on the series called Built in Birmingham: Brady and the said the story would have been a "tragedy" if he'd made the programme before the takeover, adding: "For most of my supporting Blues career, there's been not a lot to make a film about to be honest." 'Completely different culture' Knight said: "It would have been a tragedy or a comedy, or both, previous to this. Then when this thing happened, which most Blues fans still can't quite believe, that we are taken over by proper people with real money, and with ambition, then suddenly there was a story."He said it was about how Brady "who would win and win and win, takes over a team that loses and draws, and (has) just a completely different culture and ethic".He added: "It was worth everything just to be there when Tom Brady and Tom Wagner entered a pub called The Roost, which is quite a rough Blues supporters' pub, just before a match and to see the two things come together in a really happy way." The 65-year-old, who grew up in the Birmingham area, also said he had been struck by the "outpouring of love" for Ozzy Osbourne at his funeral this week – and dubbed the music created by Osbourne and Black Sabbath "the Birmingham soundtrack".He said: "The music, it's so Birmingham because they were working in factories, and that work was very, very noisy, I worked occasionally in factories, and there is always a rhythm. There's always a dominant machine." Knight added that the upcoming Peaky Blinders film would be released on Netflix "soon".The original BBC series followed Tommy Shelby and his Birmingham gang of the series' name, covering topics such as the rise of fascism, Irish republican politics and communism in the years after World War One.

Long-term Sesko or short-term Watkins?
Manchester United "can't keep taking punts" on young players with potential, says ESPN senior writer Mark Red Devils have invested in talented forward prospects like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in recent seasons, but these players are yet to show significant returns for the appear to be approaching this transfer window differently with the signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo who both already have Premier League question is whether they will continue this through pursuing experience in Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins or if they will opt to move for 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig."United over recent years have taken too many gambles on young players," Ogden told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. Rasmus Hojlund being one and Joshua Zirkzee being another. They had a very, very young strike force last year and it could barely score a goal."It is a dilemma, though. They go for a guy [Watkins] who is 29, you probably get a season or two out of him, but if he has a good season and gets them back in the Champions League then it is a return on the investment, however, I think United's view is they would rather play the long game."They have signed two players in their mid-20s in Cunha and Mbeumo and I think with Sesko, the worry is that he could be another Rasmus Hojlund. Although, I feel Sesko is more developed and he has had more time in a top league than Hojlund. He basically had one season at Atalanta, whereas Sesko has had a couple of years in the Bundesliga, plus Champions League experience when playing for Salzburg, so he is the better option."What I think United need is a proven, seasoned goalscorer, but their view is that the investment in Sesko is a better, more long-term option. However, you need to win today and tomorrow rather than just the long-term and United can't keep taking punts for four or five years down the line, they need to be winning now."Listen to the full discussion on BBC SoundsFind your club and sign up for news alerts
