Tom Brady, a famous NFL player, quickly faced the ups and downs of owning a club.

Brady is a member of the consortium that bought Birmingham City Football Club in August of last year. It's likely that he observed the team's demotion from the EFL Championship on Saturday from a distance.

Although there was a victory on the last day, it did not produce the desired outcome. The tweet containing an image reveals this information.

Because of his popularity and accomplishments in football, Brady's entrance was celebrated as a significant event, even though he only received a small ownership interest.

The official announcement stated that the individual who won the Super Bowl seven times is going to utilize their extensive knowledge in leading and management to help out various areas of the team. They will work together with the sports science department to provide guidance on the best health, nutrition, wellness, and recovery systems and programs.

Initially, Brady and Tom Wagner, who is in charge of the club, didn't create a powerful first impression.

The decision to fire manager John Eustace in October didn't sit well with the fans. At that moment, Birmingham was in sixth place in the Championship standings and had hopes of returning to the Premier League.

However, deciding to part ways with Eustace and appointing Wayne Rooney as the new manager turned out to be a significant turning point for the team. Unfortunately, Rooney was dismissed from his position in January after winning only two out of his 15 matches as a coach, resulting in nine losses. This detrimental streak caused Birmingham to plummet in the league rankings and left them in a precarious position struggling to avoid relegation.

The football club known as Birmingham City has been demoted to the third tier. This is the lowest point for the team in nearly three decades. At one point during the season, Birmingham City was in contention for the playoffs. Unfortunately, their first manager was let go, and even with the addition of Wayne Rooney, things did not improve. This serves as a stern warning to Tom Brady and others on how not to manage a football club. A single image can sum up their season. ????

Brady and Wagner should not be solely blamed for Birmingham's relegation, as it was a problem that started before they joined the team. For seven consecutive seasons, the club's performance was subpar, finishing 17th or lower on the league table.

It could be advantageous for Birmingham to drop to League One as they may have the chance to build a stronger base. The consequences of frequently struggling to stay afloat caused the club to focus on immediate solutions. However, with Brady and Wagner at the helm, they have a chance to create a long-term plan.
