Birmingham City Football Club has scripted an inspiring tale of redemption this season, delivering not just a promotion but the promise of a record-breaking campaign under the leadership of Chris Davies and with Tom Brady as a proud stakeholder in their resurgence.

Relegated from the Championship last season-marking a tough debut year for Brady as a co-owner-the Blues looked to rebuild and bounce back. And rebuild they did. Dominating League One with an iron grip, Birmingham has sealed their promotion to the Championship with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Peterborough, gettin closer to the Premier League. Their record thus far, with only three defeats in 40 games, stands as a testament to their dominance and resilience.

The math is simple: Birmingham could still break multiple historical records. Their current tally puts them within touching distance of Wolves' League One record of 103 points from the 2013/14 season. Even more tantalizingly, the all-time EFL record of 106 points, set by Reading in 2005/06 in the Championship, is within their grasp. Should they win their remaining matches, Birmingham could reach a staggering 113 points.

There is a lot to cheer for

Adding to the drama is their upcoming clash against Peterborough in the EFL Trophy Final at Wembley. While fans dream of hoisting the trophy, another major prize looms: the league title. If Wrexham fails to secure victory at Wigan, Birmingham could be crowned champions even before their next match. The prospect of lifting two trophies in one week is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a club that was in despair only a year ago.

Beyond the statistics and silverware, the Blues' revival has ignited optimism and excitement among fans and stakeholders. Tom Brady, more commonly associated with touchdowns than goals, has been vocal about his passion for the project and his faith in the club's long-term vision. He has been a co-owner of the team since 2023.

The question now is: How high can Birmingham rise? With their promotion secured and confidence riding high, could this be the start of a journey back to the Premier League? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain-Birmingham City are back, and they mean business.
