NFL legend Tom Brady has ended his association with top-of-the-table Championship side Birmingham City.
Ownership and Advisory Role
The seven-time Super Bowl champion became a minority owner in the St Andrew’s club in August 2023 when he entered a partnership with club owners Knighthead Capital Management LLC. Part of Brady’s role involved him being chairman of an advisory board at Birmingham, with the club stating he would invest and commit his time and extensive expertise following his arrival.
However, the Blues announced his exit with a statement headlined ‘Tom Brady departure’. The club expressed sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his involvement with and unwavering support for the team over the last three years. They added that it was truly amazing to have someone with his experience and passion associated with the organization, and the club looks forward to continuing to build on that foundation from the training ground to the Birmingham community.
Other Ventures and Current Standings
The former quarterback is a three-time NFL most valuable player and retired in February 2023 after 23 seasons in the NFL, having won six of his Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Following the end of his playing career, he also acquired a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and became part of the ownership group of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. Additionally, his commitments include working as a lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports.
He leaves the club while Birmingham sits top of the Championship on goal difference with 29 points after 15 games.
