A surprise exit, with no explanation
Tom Brady is out at Birmingham City. The club announced on Monday night that the seven-time Super Bowl winner is leaving his role as minority owner, and no reason was given. Birmingham thanked him for his “involvement with and unwavering support” over the last three years and said it will keep building from the training ground to the wider community.
Brady bought a little over three per cent of the club in August 2023, when an American investment firm took over at St Andrew’s. The timing is striking. He walks away with Birmingham sitting top of the Championship.

Now they lead the division. A 2-1 win over Swansea on Saturday extended a run of seven victories in the last nine games, and Brady leaves with that momentum still building. The club has not said why he is going.
