Brady has been in the limelight following the release of the Prime Video documentary 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & The Blues'. In the first episode Brady is seen discussing his plans with former Birmingham manager Wayne Rooney, whom he later raises a concern about. Rooney is branded 'lackadaisical' by the NFL legend's business manager Ben Rawitz. And Brady says of the former England captain: 'I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic.'

He was sacked after winning just two of his 15 Championship games in charge which saw the club plummet from sixth to 20th and they never recovered, crashing into League One.

Injury puts Ducksch's proposed summer transfer in doubt
At the end of last season, it looked like Marvin Ducksch had played his last game for Werder Bremen, with reports suggesting he would likely be sold during the summer. However, according to Bild, the 31-year-old striker has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him sidelined until August, casting doubt on his proposed move. Advertisement Werder were reportedly hoping to receive a transfer fee of between €2–3 million for Ducksch, but the German tabloid now considers a move for that amount unlikely given the injury. In fact, it's now unclear if the striker will leave the Green-Whites at all. For now, at least, it appears he will stay. 'As things stand, Marvin will still be a Werder Bremen player on September 2,' said Werder's head of professional football, Peter Niemeyer. 'If something comes in, we'll look at it,' he added. Stade Rennes and Panathinaikos are among the clubs that have been linked with a move for Ducksch, who has one year left on his contract.
