Tom Brady, the seven-time NFL Super Bowl champion, has broken his silence following the confirmation of his departure from Birmingham City’s hierarchy on Monday night.

Brady had been engaged with the club since Knighthead Capital Management’s takeover of St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park in 2023.

In classic Blues form, the last three years have been incredibly dramatic, with a first relegation to the League One in 30 years, followed by the appointment of Chris Davies and a season in which the EFL’s all-time points total was surpassed.

Birmingham are presently top of the Championship after 15 games, with Saturday’s thrilling 2-1 victory against Swansea City enough to put them ahead on goal difference.

As a result, there has been much speculation about the timing of Brady’s departure from his position as Advisory Board Chairman, particularly if Davies’ team is successful in ending their long-standing Premier League exile.

Brady’s engagement with the club had been well-documented, particularly through the Amazon Prime docuseries in which he played a central role and revealed changes behind the scenes throughout Birmingham’s 2023/24 and 2024/25 campaigns.

Brady apparently held only 3.3% of the club when Knighthead completed a full takeover a year ago, despite the fact that he had only attended four of the team’s matches since his initial association was confirmed ahead of the 1-0 win against Leeds United three years earlier.

In addition to his role with Birmingham, the 49-year-old is a regular pundit on NFL games for FOX Sports, having inked a massive $375 million 10-year contract with the firm four years ago.

The Blues made a statement about Brady’s resignation on Monday, followed by a cryptic Instagram post. Brady then took to his story to address people affiliated with the Championship side.Being a part of Birmingham City Football Club for the past three years has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life,” he said.

“Thank you to the players, Chris Davies and his staff, the front office, and everyone working behind the scenes, whose dedication I witnessed firsthand at all levels of the club.” Most importantly, thank you to the people of Birmingham.

“What makes our club exceptional is your passion, devotion, and the way you show up for it on both good and bad days. “I will always support your success,” Brady continued.Continue right on.”

Tom Brady’s enthusiasm for Birmingham City was made evident in the Amazon Prime series.

Despite only being present at St. Andrew’s on a few occasions, the aforementioned series demonstrated Brady’s commitment to Birmingham’s immediate and long-term success, even if Wagner was not mentioned in his recent social media reveal.

The American made a sensation when he expressed doubts about previous head coach Wayne Rooney’s work ethic amid the club’s catastrophic 15-game slump that saw them drop down the Championship table.

A 3-1 victory over Wrexham in September 2024 was possibly the most high-profile game in recent League One history, with Red Dragons owner Rob Mac joining Brady and other global icons such as Gary Neville and David Beckham.

Brady was also included in a film revealing the name and architecture of the club’s new Powerhouse stadium, which will serve as the showpiece of a multibillion-dollar Sports Quarter development.

Birmingham City’s on-pitch objectives will not diminish despite Tom Brady’s departure.

Birmingham have been on a roll in the Championship this season, losing only twice and winning five of their past six.

A different approach to moves this summer has also contributed to success, with Max Bird and Liam Millar making immediate impressions, while Jay Stansfield and August Priske have thrived in attacking roles under a new tactical framework.

Davies’ side has also conceded the fewest goals in the division so far (14), and Brady’s departure will have no bearing on their on-field progress.
