Tom Brady has given Birmingham City chairman Tom Wagner a fitting two-word nickname: “The Boss.” The tribute came after the Blues celebrated lifting the League One trophy on Sunday afternoon, marking a milestone in what has been a record-breaking season.
Birmingham City’s remarkable campaign saw them shatter the League One points record, with two matches still left to play. Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Mansfield Town at St. Andrew’s Knighthead Park officially sparked celebrations.
The club secured their first silverware since 2011 and completed the first step of Wagner’s ambitious vision: a return to the Premier League.
Despite discussions about the club’s spending power, Birmingham never once looked complacent. Their hard work culminated in a historic title win and stakeholder Brady wasn’t shy about giving credit where it’s due.
The NFL legend, who holds a stake in the club, has helped bring fresh attention to English lower-league football alongside the likes of Wrexham’s Hollywood owners.
Yet, it’s chairman Wagner who has been the true driving force behind Birmingham’s resurgence. His leadership not only delivered promotion but also sparked plans for a state-of-the-art stadium to help cement the club’s future success.
After the trophy lift, Brady commented a photo of Wagner proudly holding the League One trophy on Instagram, affectionately calling him “The Boss” and tagging him in the post.
As the co-founder of Knighthead Capital Management LLC, Wagner has embraced his role with passion and energy. His vision and commitment have quickly endeared him to Birmingham’s supporters and shareholders alike. With a historic season now in the books, “The Boss” has Bluenoses dreaming big for the seasons ahead.
