Minority shareholder Brady and Blues' owners Knighthead plan to follow an incredible season on the pitch with jaw-dropping developments off it
Birmingham romped back to the second-tier by amassing 111 points as big-spending League One champions.
That was 19 points clear of Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham in second place.
Now the club have released a clip with awesome transport links to a futuristic venue likened in the past to a "spaceship".

One viewer claimed on X: "People will be coming from all corners of the country to take in the view."
Another veteran supporter posted: "After 70 years of suffering mainly heartache it's just my luck to be on the downward slope now that #BCFC are finally on the way to the top with the best owners in its 150 year history.
"Today's funding confirmation has given me a purpose in life. Thanks TW."

Those initials are a reference to Knighthead's co-founder and Blues' chairman Tom Wagner, who has described the go-ahead for travel connections as a "huge step forward for the Sports Quarter".
An estimated £2.4bn Government investment in local transport will be used to extend the area's Metro to the proposed new venue.

That's kickstarted the whole £3bn scheme, with the first phase set to be finished by 2029.
The club also say "the extension of Birmingham City Centre to East Birmingham will help unlock the future of the development" - including creating around 10,000 jobs. Fans seem thrilled by the transport links.
And after seeing the club's video, one supporter wrote: "Love the stadium design as well guys it's gonna look mint."
Wagner said: 'The Chancellor's undertaking to upgrade transport links in East Birmingham is a huge step forward for the Sports Quarter.

"It gives us the springboard we need to advance this transformative project at pace, bringing huge benefits to the people of East Birmingham and the wider region in the shape of jobs and opportunities, as well as economic growth that will be felt across the whole of the UK.'
Last month Wagner had also unveiled plans to provide outstanding training facilities for academy players "unlike any other that exists in European football".
And Blues' interim CEO Jeremy Dale spoke of "creating jobs, building infrastructure for our local community, and creating a world-class sporting venue that will put Birmingham on the map".
The planned stadium would double Birmingham's capacity of 29,409 at St. Andrew's.

National Lottery terminals will close for 36 hours - but for a good reason
The National Lottery will shut down for 36 hours this weekend to make way for the biggest technology upgrade in the game's 31-year history. Players won't be able to buy tickets or check results in shops across the UK from 11pm on Saturday night following the Lotto and Thunderball draws until 'late Monday morning', operator Allwyn said. The National Lottery website and app will also be down over the same period. Players will be able to check results until systems go offline and will still be able to buy Scratchcards. They will also be able to see the latest draws and view the full results for the Saturday draws on the National Lottery's YouTube channel. During the pause, Allwyn will transfer and upgrade the National Lottery's gaming and retail systems to new platforms. However, it warned that a 'small proportion' of in-store terminals could experience delays coming back up if certain upgrade processes are interrupted for various reasons. The Czech-based Allwyn group – which took over the 10-year licence to run the lottery from Camelot in February last year – said the systems and in-store terminals powering The National Lottery dated back to 2009, 'before iPads, Uber and Instagram', which now needed to be modernised to deliver on 'ambitious' plans for a National Lottery 'fit for the future'. Allwyn chief executive Andria Vidler said: 'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver The National Lottery that the UK deserves. 'We're making unprecedented and much-needed changes, which will move us closer to achieving our vision for The National Lottery, restoring its magic and significantly increasing its positive impact on lives across the UK. 'These major upgrades will mean short-term disruption for players and our retail partners but they will allow us to deliver on our promise to bring new, exciting games, a better player experience and our commitment to double returns to Good Causes from £30 million to £60 million every week by the end of the 10-year licence.' The switchover has been beset by delays after Allwyn took over the licence, which has held back the launch of new draw-based games. More Trending It was unable to switch to a new technology provider after agreeing to extend the contract for the existing supplier, International Games Technology (IGT). IGT had challenged the Gambling Commission's decision to award Allwyn the 10-year licence in court, but later dropped the legal action. Allwyn has previously admitted that delays to the new games it had hoped to introduce in 2024 will hold back the amount of money it can give to good causes in the early part of its 10-year licence. But the group remained committed to its long-term goal to double money for good causes, despite falling short of early targets.

League One 2025-26 preview: the contenders, hopefuls and strugglers
Last season was grim for Luton, culminating in them suffering a second successive relegation. But there remains plenty of quality at Kenilworth Road. Teden Mengi could easily be playing in the top flight, while Millenic Alli is a leading light of the recent intake. Most importantly, perhaps, the manager, Matt Bloomfield, knows this division well. Cardiff were also relegated from the Championship last season and will be hoping their new manager, Brian Barry-Murphy, can arrest the Welsh club's slide. Stockport missed out in the playoffs last season after finishing third. They also lost Isaac Olaofe to Charlton but have invested a club-record fee in Malik Mothersille from Peterborough to fill the void. The Hatters will be confident of another promotion push as long as they can hold on to the highly rated Ethan Pye and Lewis Bate, who have attracted Championship interest over the summer. Huddersfield are another who have changed manager, bringing in Lee Grant for what is the former Stoke goalkeeper's first managerial role. Grant has sought experience on the pitch, signing Ryan Ledson, Murray Wallace, Lynden Gooch and Alfie May. Tom Cleverley has taken the reins at Plymouth after their relegation from the Championship, while Mike Dodds will need Richard Kone to stay put if Wycombe are to battle for a spot in the Championship. Steve Bruce will not want to be known as a League One manager for another season. He arrived at Blackpool midway through the last campaign and has been given the resources to push for a return to the second tier. Fraser Horsfall and Michael Ihiekwe have been acquired to strengthen central defence, and with Ashley Fletcher leading the line, Bruce's men will be hoping to rustle feathers. Reading did well to finish seventh last season considering the issues surrounding the club. Rob Couhig has become the new owner and a calmer presence in the boardroom could translate on to the pitch. Bolton finished eighth last season and their manger, Steven Schumacher, will be hoping to better that this time around. The loan signings of Teddy Sharman-Lowe and Amario Cozier-Duberry should excite but the loss of the captain, George Thomason, to Wrexham will need addressing. Leyton Orient made it to Wembley but fell just short in the playoff final. Ethan Galbraith and the loan stars Josh Keeley, Charlie Kelman and Jamie Donley have departed but there is plenty of excitement around the impending arrival of the Manchester United youngster Jack Moorhouse. Rotherham were expecting to challenge under Steve Evans last season but eventually stumbled to 13th. They have subsequently had a clearout of some big earners and allowed Matt Hamshaw to shape a more youthful squad. Conor Hourihane has used the loan market wisely to bring Barnsley up to scratch, while Ryan Lowe will be hoping Paul Mullin can spearhead Wigan's promotion push. Lincoln and Mansfield have an outside chance of getting into the playoffs. Doncaster won the League Two title last season and their manager, Grant McCann, quickly moved to sign Connor O'Riordan as a replacement for Joseph Olowu after his move to Stockport. Port Vale, who finished runners-up to Doncaster, have enjoyed a busy summer in the market as the manager, Darren Moore, attempts to balance youthful potential with old heads. Bradford, the third team to be promoted from League Two, may have half an eye on more than consolidation this season. For sure, Ibou Touray and Max Power will provide Graham Alexander's men with plenty of knowhow at this level. The League Two playoff winners, AFC Wimbledon, have been here before, playing six consecutive seasons in the third tier. Gary Bowyer oversaw the great escape with Burton last season and a continuation of that momentum should result in a better campaign for them. Exeter, Northampton and Stevenage might be fearful should they not start the season well. Andre Garcia, Reading, 17 The defender does not turn 18 until late November but already has 38 League One games under his belt. Garcia's performances at left-back also earned him an England Under-18 call-up in March and plenty of scouts are known to be tracking his progress. Benony Breki Andrésson, Stockport, 19 Having spent time in Bologna's academy, Andrésson's career began in earnest in his homeland of Iceland. Stockport were alerted to his potential and duly signed the striker in January to be part of their development team. He was quickly promoted to the first team and repaid the faith of his manager, Dave Challinor, with four goals in 11 games. Cian Ashford, Cardiff, 20 The local boy who has risen through the ranks and become a regular will be looking to push on this season. The arrival of Barry-Murphy as manager should help with that given the Irishman has worked with some of the best talent in the country during his time at Manchester City.

Tom Brady's Built in Birmingham is an embarrassing attempt at copying Wrexham
'Probably what he knows about football you could put on a postage stamp,' says a Birmingham City fan. He might be joking but Tom Brady – the man with a greater grounding in the NFL than the EFL – is unaware the other club in the city is called Aston Villa and wasn't told not to pronounce the 'h' in Birmingham. At one stage, in the disastrous first season of Brady's minority ownership, he shows he knows something. 'We lose every f***ing match,' he laments. Built in Birmingham, and even the name is a clue to its objectives, is more about Tom Brady and Tommy Shelby – the Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight features regularly – than John Eustace and John Ruddy. Eustace, infamously, was fired by the new owners Knighthead Capital with Birmingham sixth in the Championship. 'Together we will not fail,' declares chair Tom Wagner. They start off by failing, though possibly not together, given the revolving door to the manager's office. But editorially, they fail too (and it is them, given that Brady and Wagner are executive producers). As any connoisseur of such documentaries knows, the bad years make for more entertaining television than the good. But in a five-part series, one is devoted to the hubristic demotion of 2023-24, four to the bankrolled cruise through League One. And, given some other owners are asset-strippers, or burden clubs with debt, or have other nefarious purposes, it is worth noting that Knighthead has invested. Brady's manager is damning of their inheritance. 'They have a f***ng shipping container as their lead performance centre,' he says, and Wagner and co have improved facilities. They are unashamedly ambitious – 'we will get to the Prem, it is just a question of when, not if', says Wagner, who believes their future lies in the top half of the top division – and may prove astute businessmen if their sense that a club from the Second City has untapped potential is justified. Perhaps, too, they will crack the American television market. Built in Birmingham feels modelled on Welcome to Wrexham (what next? Come to Colchester? Constructed in Chesterfield? Created in Crewe?). But it offers too little even to Birmingham fans (besides those in it, who provide the self-deprecating humour). They are trying to mine a formula, but it is a dumbing down of the League One season, with the other 22 clubs obscured and two highlighted. They are at pains to draw distinctions between Birmingham and Wrexham, but not Wigan or Wycombe. Only two league games attract more than a cursory mention: long segments on the two meetings with Wrexham. 'Wrexham, we're coming for your ass,' says Brady, in an outbreak of frat-boy nonsense. The Birmingham fans are at least sharper. 'You can stick your f***ing Deadpool up your arse,' they chant. Their special guest, David Beckham, has to explain a chorus about sheepshaggers to Brady. His visit is instructive. Wagner wants to give Beckham a Birmingham swag bag, presumably thinking the very rich need more free stuff. Brady is uneasy talking to English people, apart from Beckham, and much more relaxed around Americans. His reference points are all American, sending manager Chris Davies a video about transformational leadership from a college football coach. He perks up when talking about his NFL career; when there is more footage of Brady's touchdown passes than Birmingham's passing, it feels clear who the designed audience is. Perhaps they want non-stop Brady but the wit and the best one-liners come from the Birmingham fans, whereas the serial Super Bowl winner's management-speak musings on leadership may work on the US corporate circuit but, no matter how often Wagner says they are invaluable, feel bland. They certainly don't spare Birmingham the drop in 2024. Brady's one footballing opinion of note concerns Wayne Rooney. 'I am a little worried about our head coach's work ethic,' he said. 'I don't have great instincts on that.' But there isn't a proper examination of Wagner's decision to fire Eustace and appoint the former England captain. The verdict from one of the fans was blunt: 'What qualifies Wayne to manage Birmingham City? Absolutely nothing.' If only he had been on the interview panel; Wagner and co fared better, in fairness, in plumping for the lower-profile Davies last summer. Rooney comes and goes in 15 minutes of the first episode. Others feature still less. Three of the five men to manage Birmingham in 2023-24 go unmentioned; Tony Mowbray was diagnosed with bowel cancer, his enforced absence a reason for their relegation, and yet, somehow, the producers made an episode without a reference to him. Brady blames the players, whom he calls lazy and entitled, for the club's demotion. There is a clearout and thereafter Birmingham succeed, in their own minds, by implementing a new culture. 'Getting promoted is an amazing accomplishment,' said Wagner. 'I love that everyone doubted we would do it.' Really? Birmingham were the bookmakers' favourites after a £30m outlay. Spending a record amount of money for a third-tier club may have played its part. They get 111 points and, to Brady's delight, finish above Wrexham. Which, it would seem, is their hope for the ratings. This is a battle of the documentaries, a fight for new American followers. And yet it is also an indication of one of the many things that are wrong with the game when historic clubs are defined by producing airbrushed content for streaming in the United States in attempts to expand their fanbase. Because there are plenty of good reasons to support Birmingham, but this show isn't one of them.
