Knighthead completes Birmingham City Football Club acquisition. Knighthead Capital Management LLC (“Knighthead”) is pleased to announce that through its affiliate Shelby Companies Limited (“Shelby Limited”), it has completed the acquisition of the remaining 51% of shares of Birmingham City Limited owned by ZO FUTURE GROUP (formerly Birmingham Sports Holdings Limited). Shelby Limited will now hold 96.64% of Birmingham City Limited (“Birmingham City”), which holds 100% ownership of Birmingham City Football Club Limited and Birmingham City Women Football Club Limited. Shelby Limited will continue to be solely responsible for all the operations of the Club. Thomas Wagner, Chairman of Birmingham City Football Club and Co-Founding Managing Member of Knighthead said: “This transaction is another important milestone for Knighthead and Birmingham City Football Club. Transformation has taken place across every aspect of the Club’s operations since our initial investment and it’s just the beginning. Later this month we will unveil our new stadium design which will be at the heart of East Birmingham’s Sports Quarter. The ambition for our Club is to be a beacon of excellence for Birmingham on the global stage. The journey to deliver this is well underway.”

No neutral football fan surely wants Brum or Wrexham to do well. The Americanisation of the purest football league in the world is sickening.

Birmingham City minority owner Tom Brady calls some of the club's players "lazy and entitled" as they suffered relegation in the 2023-24 season, in a new documentary series released this week.

First time I’ve seen Birmingham in quite a while & first time I’ve spoken to this manager. Calm, collected, clear thinking and, I’m told by those who interview him regularly, excellent to deal with.
