in the city, Tom?

00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,360
[Brady] Yep.

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,600
I flew over here to check out

00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,360
this amazing team,

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,880

00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,480
They love their soccer team, huh?

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,560
What's the other team here?

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,320
[person] Aston Villa.

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,840
-Is Aston Villa in the Premier League?
-[person] Yeah.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,040
-Are they pretty good?
-[person] Yeah.

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,840
Fuck them.

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Gonna fuck them up too.

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,800
The takeover of Birmingham City has
been completed this afternoon.

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,920
[reporter] NFL legend, Tom Brady,
has become a minority owner in the team.

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000
I thought, initially,
that's absolute bullshit.

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,080
Tom Brady? Who's he?

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840
-He… Yeah, he…
-He was a sportsman, wasn't he?

21

[pundit] Tom Brady.

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000
[pundit 2] This dude is something special.

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,760
[pundit 3] He rewrote
the history books in the NFL.

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,120
Ten Super Bowl appearances.

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,520
He won seven of those.

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,600
The quarterback
of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady.

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,920
[pundit 4] His leadership, his willingness

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
to overcome challenges
time and time again.

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,320
[pundit 5] He proved
that he is the G.O.A.T.

You don't ever bet against Tom Brady.
Don't be a fool.

The guys on that soccer team,
they've got something coming.

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,400
Probably what he knows about football
you could put on a postage stamp.

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Why are people interested in us
all of a sudden?

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,680
We've been rubbish for years.

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,520
[Brady] I don't give a fuck what they've
done here. I wasn't a part of that.

00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,880

The second-largest city in England.

[Knight] I grew up in Birmingham.

My ancestors worked and lived

Aston Villa that way.

00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:00,040
So I don't want to go there.

55

Being from Birmingham, we're not people
who shout from the rooftops

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,360
about our city, and we should.

57

[Knight] It's where
the Industrial Revolution began.

Cars, chains, guns.

Manchester press their advantage.

107
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Birmingham have been the pioneers

108
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,200
in fucking up games of football from 1875.

109
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,400

We've been shit.

Well, they've come so, so close
it's untrue.

We've suffered over decades.

121
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,320
[reporter] When relegation came,
Steve Bruce looked tired and emotional.

122

I've had to let staff go.
I've got to let players go.

for the future of Birmingham City?

To be an international team.

00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,040
We've had ownership
which haven't worked at all.

Sack the board! Sack the board!

Sometimes it spills over,
and it gets a little bit more serious.

[fans clamouring]

143
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,880
There's got to be exploitation
of that toughness,

and turn it into a different direction.

to go on and be the greatest of all time,

152
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,200
it's an incredible story.

153
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,080
[Brady] I didn't even know
if I was gonna make the team

154
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,920
when I got drafted to the Patriots.

155
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,640
I was the fourth quarterback.

156
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,720
My first year,
didn't really play much at all.

157
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,200
Then going into my second year,

158
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,000
the starting quarterback got hurt.

159
00:08:57,560 --> 00:08:59,680
And I said, you know,
"Once they put me on the field,

160
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,720
they're never gonna take me off."

161

Five Super Bowl MVPs.

00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,200
Three overall MVPs.

163
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,200
You're the greatest quarterback
in the world, man.

Hey, I love you, man.

165

Not only did he give hope,
but he made thousands of other players

00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:16,760
in the NFL better.

167
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Twenty-two years later, it was time to go.

Thank you, guys, for allowing me
to live my absolute dream.

00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,280
So it's not like he has anything left
to accomplish.

173
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,240
[pundit] Whatever he does,

174
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,320
he's gonna attack that
with that same work ethic

175
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,600
that has made him the greatest
football player we've ever seen.

176
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,480
[Brady] After I retired,
I was thinking about the next steps.

177
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,760
And then I got a call
from my friend, Wags.

178
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,600
[upbeat rock music plays]

179
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,440
[Wagner] I worked for a number of years
as a certified public accountant

180
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,080
in Boston, New York,
and the Cayman Islands.

181
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,360
And after that,
I went to work on Wall Street.

182
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600
[bell ringing]

183
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Ultimately started
Knighthead Capital Management.

184
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,200
I fell in love with fixing businesses.

185
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,320
The more fucked up it is,
the more I like it.

186
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,640
It's the dumbest way in the world
to make money

187
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,920
because the long-term returns
of distressed assets are negative.

188
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,960
But I like proving people wrong.

189
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,640
I think that's where Tom and I have
some similarities.

190
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,080
-[Brady] How are you doing, buddy?
-I'm good. How are you?

191
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,920
[Brady] Wag's been a great friend of mine
for a long time.

192
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,560
He was a Patriot fan,

193
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,000
and we met, and we always hit it off.

194
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,920
He was interested in investing
in a soccer team.

195
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360
There was a Premier League team
that was for sale,

196
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,440
and he was like, "They're just being
such a pain in the you-know-what.

197
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,320
And they say one thing, they do another.

198
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,440
I don't know
if this is what we really wanna do."

199
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,000
[clamouring]

200
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,120
Right after we made the decision
that that wasn't the right deal,

201
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,040
the Birmingham City opportunity
presented itself to us.

202
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,360
[Brady] It's the second largest
city in all of UK.

203
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,800
There's been a lot of underinvestment
over a long period of time.

204
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,840
And thought that we could, you know,
make some money, have a good return,

205
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,400
which is our ultimate objective.

206
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,040
So we just couldn't pass it up.

207
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,160
[reporter] Knighthead Capital Management
have acquired full control of St. Andrew's

208
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,840
and 45% of the club

209
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,080
with the rest to follow in due course.

210
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,920
[Wagner] What has occurred in the past

211
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,680
has left the club in a position
of weakened financial stature.

212
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,520
We need to improve that.

213
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,920
-[Wagner] That's all new, that whole face.
-[person] This whole front.

214
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,880
-This LED board is brand new. I'll--
-[Brady] Beautiful.

215
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:15,280
How much did we spend on all the upgrades?

216
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,880
[Wagner] Six million pounds.

217
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,040
So here's the deal.

218
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,760
I'm officially coming on board
at Birmingham City Football Club.

219
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,720
Brady is now the minority owner
of Birmingham City,

220
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,760
a club in English soccer's
second tier Championship.

221
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,280
[reporter 2] Is Brady just along
for the ride for branding?

222
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,280
He is not here for promotional purposes.

223
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600
[Brady] I'm not going in there
in an operational role.

224
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,360
I'm in there in a visionary role.

225
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,200
[Wagner] We had unparalleled success.

226
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,800
Our principal objective is

227
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,040
to really bring what worked for Tom
within Birmingham.

228
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,400
I haven't had all the experience in the UK
with mediocrity.

229
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,600
But I know leadership.
And I know what a good coach sounds like,

230
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,880
and I know what good teamwork sounds like,
and I know what training looks like.

231
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880
Most importantly,
I know I like being the underdog.

232
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,320
We got a song that says, "No matter what,
you keep right on to the end of the road."

233
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,240
And I'll be on that road with you.

234
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,520
The new owners are making good noises,

235
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,520
are doing positive things,

236
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,400
have got an awful lot of money,
have got plans.

237
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,800
This could be a rebirth of the Blues.

238
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,520
I mean, we've had so many rebirths,

239
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,840
but they've all been phantom pregnancies.

240
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,240
[patrons chattering]

241
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,040
[Brady] This pub know
we're coming, obviously?

242
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,080
-[Wagner] The pub does, but not the fans.
-Yes.

243
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,600
[Brady] We'll have to feel this out, boys.

244
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,640
-This is not my thing.
-[Wagner] Yeah.

245
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,080
[bodyguard] Okay,
I'm gonna stick close to you.

246
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,360
So when we get in there…

247
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Let's talk for a few minutes in here.

248
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,720
Are we shaking hands
with a bunch of the fans and the kids?

249
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,280
-Yes. It won't be kids.
-Am I signing…

250
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,280
It'll be fans and fans only.

251
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Shake hands, gonna grab a pint,
and then leave.

252
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,840
Gonna be in there for, like, 15 minutes.

253
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,640
[cheering]

254
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,960
Thank God! Tom!

255
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,040
-Tom, quickly.
-Tom, can you shake me hand?

256
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,040
[patrons chanting] USA! USA! USA! USA!

257
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Welcome to the club, the new owners.

258
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,680
Massive. Absolutely massive.

259
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,960
How are you doing, my man?

260
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,240
-The name's Leo.
-Nice to meet you.

261
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,160
-You're a legend.
-I appreciate it. Nice to meet you, buddy.

262
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,760
-Thanks for saving the club.
-Thank you.

263
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,360
-It means so much to us.
-Let's hope we do.

264
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,240
Thanks so… No, you have.
Thank you so much.

265
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,720
I don't want to let you down.

266
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,960
[fan] You wouldn't be the first one.

267
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,080
It's like I'm in a dream.

268
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,080
And I keep waiting for the alarm to go off
and wake me up.

269
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,280
I'd liken Birmingham to places
like Cleveland or Cincinnati or Pittsburgh

270
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,920
where it's just a hard-working town.

271
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,280
But what do they all have in common?
They love their sport.

272
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,040
They love coming together.

273
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,120
And there's great support with our club.

274
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,200
[patrons] ♪ As we journey on ♪

275
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,720
♪ We will sing this song ♪

276
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,360
♪ For the boys in royal blue ♪

277
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,440
I don't think
there's been a time in my life

278
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,840
where I've felt more positive
about Birmingham City right now.

279
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,800
They're coming into a new Blues.
Not the joke that we are sometimes.

280
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320
And they're gonna bring
an American mentality.

281
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,600
They're in this for victory.

282
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,320
[cheering]

283
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200
We've been through some hard times,
but now we're on the up.

284
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,560
-Yeah.
-We're on the up now, yeah.

285
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,840
-Watch out. We're coming. [chuckles]
-So… Yeah.

286
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,960
[cheering]

287
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,760
-[fans chanting] USA! USA! USA! USA!
-Bye, guys.

288
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240
[Knight] The British mindset
and the American mindset are different.

289
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,320
All right, there?

290
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800
Especially as regards this club.

291
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,680
Perhaps we're not going to win,
but we accept it.

292
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,920
When the Americans come in,
it's much more forward-looking.

293
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,560
It's much more towards the future.

294
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,080
We have a new tunnel.

295
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960
-[Brady] This looks so much better.
-[person] Yeah.

296
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,840
-This is a first.
-That's it. Thank you.

297
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,440
So this is the team meeting room.

298
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,040
So this is where the lads
will be in at 1:30.

299
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840
So we'll go through our game on how
we want to play against Leeds today.

300
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Some good work yesterday and the lads…
Obviously, they can't wait for the game.

301
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320
The main thing is, where are we going?
How are we gonna get there?

302
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,480
And this is what we're gonna achieve,
and we believe we can.

303
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440
An unwillingness to accept defeat,

304
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600
which I think is characterised
most clearly in Tom Brady.

305
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,800
'Sup, man. Tom.
How you doing? Good to meet you.

306
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,120
-How you doing? Lukas. Good to meet you.
-Hi, Lukas. How are you?

307
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,040
What I'm hoping is that the two can
actually be complementary.

308
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:11,440
And together, it will be a kind of realism
that will result in success.

309
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,960
[Brady] What's up, fellas?

310
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,880
I've been sitting in those chairs
a long time.

311
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,680
This is my first time I haven't done it
in 32 years.

312
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,000
So, uh, love to be a part
of what you guys are doing.

313
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,360
You know, I know this is a sacred place
for all of us.

314
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,360
[crowd singing, cheering]

315
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,720
[commentator] US investment
brings hope for the future.

316
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,240
But the practicalities of
putting points on the board

317
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,760
is the job that needs doing right now.

318
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,080
[Brady] You guys got a big game today.

319
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,720
There's never one thing anyone can say.

320
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,320
There's never one day, or one meeting,
or one practice, or one game

321
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,480
that's gonna make a season.

322
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,640
[commentator 2] Tom Brady and Tom Wagner
are very much in the building.

323
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,720
Hi, guys. Thank you.

324
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,400
[commentator 2] No one wants to miss
the rebirth of Birmingham City.

325
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,240
[whistle blows]

326
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,880
What it's gonna take is you guys
making a commitment to each other,

327
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,160
you know, every single day
about what you guys want to become.

328
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,960
[commentator 2] Looking to cause trouble
here for Leeds, into the area.

329
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,480
Did really well.

330
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,280
[Brady] When I started,

331
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,960
well, I was as far down
as anyone could be in the NFL.

332
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,720
And it was a lot of work,
day in and day out,

333
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,480
to make it to, ultimately,
where we wanted to get to.

334
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,120
It's a lot of hard work.

335
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,200
But you know what?
Fucking football's hard.

336
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,680
Up to this side!

337
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,400
[commentator 2]
Needs to pick the right pass.

338
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,080
-[whistle blows]
-Penalty Blues!

339
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:56,120
A huge moment for the history
of Birmingham City Football Club.

340
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,160
[Brady] I'm following you guys
every step of the way.

341
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,760
So go kick some fucking ass.

342
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:08,360
[whistle blows]

343
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,960
[cheering]

344
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,720
[commentator 2]
And just listen to this place!

345
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,200
A club resurrected!

346
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,480
A fan base reborn!

347
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,200
Blues dare to dream again!

348
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,120
A dream start to the new era
at St. Andrew's.

349
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,440
[cheering, clamouring]

350
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,320
-Come on, Blues!
-We won!

351
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,520
[Brady] This is not a vanity thing.

352
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000
This is, like, you know,
let's get our elbows dirty,

353
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,200
and let's take it on.

354
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,160
Like I'm not… The fuck am I afraid of?

355
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,160
I have no fear. I have no fucking fear.

356
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,840
If it doesn't work, it won't be
because I didn't give it everything I had.

357
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,920
It just didn't work.

358
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,120
[reporter]
In 1906, this was a piece of wasteland.

359
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,360
[Knight] When Birmingham City moved
to the new ground

360
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,960
around the turn of the century,

361
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,680
Romany Gypsies camped on the site.

362
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,360
They were told to leave,

363
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,400
so that construction work could begin.

364
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320
[reporter] They didn't go without a fight.
And as a parting gesture,

365
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,440
their leader decided
he was going to have the last word,

366
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,560
and put a curse on the ground.

367
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,600
[fan] I've heard that there's
dead horses in the corner of the pitch.

368
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:44,560
And when it's foggy, the fog always
comes in from this supposed cursed corner.

369
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,520
The curse on the club doesn't help,
apparently, with our winning rate.

370
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,600
I think everyone in a professional sport,

371
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,880
uh, in various ways, is superstitious.

372
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,360
We had a manager called Ron Saunders,

373
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,160
who had all the players
play with red soles on their boots.

374
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,200
And he'd been told that would help,
and it didn't.

375
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,440
[reporter]
So while Ron Saunders waits for someone

376
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,560
to come and remove the curse
from the ground,

377
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,840
I can't help wondering if he realises

378
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,680
that he's the club's 13th manager
since the war.

379
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,200
[Fry] I don't want any players
going out there with fear.

380
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,880
I'm gonna change it around, lads.

381
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,640
If you wanna be part of it, **** great.
Great. Great.

382
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,720
Barry Fry decided that he'd got
a solution to kill the curse,

383
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,840
and he peed in every corner flag.

384
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,160
Now, if it comes off, you're an hero,
and if it doesn't, you're in trouble.

385
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Come on!

386
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,040
**** hell!

387
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,280
[Lombardi, on laptop] Blues are back.
It's a new era, and we're here for it.

388
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,680
Solid, firm three points today.

389
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560
That curse will only, maybe,
last a little bit longer.

390
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,040
Maybe we need to be more optimistic
as Blues fans.

391
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,120
Maybe we can start looking up
instead of down.

392
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,160
And who knows? Maybe we can look again
up and out of the Championship.

393
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,080
We're not gonna get ahead of ourselves,
but we'll enjoy it. Up the Blues.

394
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,960
In our version of football, the top teams
earn promotion to a higher division.

395
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440
The Premier League is
the top of the pyramid.

396
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,480
Birmingham sit just below that
in the Championship.

397
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000
The benefits of promotion are
you get a lot more money, global exposure,

398
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,760
and, hopefully, trophies.

399
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,960
But there's a flip side.

400
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Finish in the bottom three,
and you're relegated to a lower division,

401
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,880
which is the complete opposite,
and not where we want to be.

402
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,280
[upbeat rock music plays]

403
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,320
We see the club ascending
into the Premier League.

404
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,240
If you can't say it, you can't do it.

405
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,200
It's very hard to change a culture.

406
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,360
The only way to do it is
to have a single-minded commitment

407
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,080
to achieving the best
that's absolutely possible.

408
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,560
That has to be ingrained into everything.

409
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,200
It's how you clean up the stadium
after a match.

410
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,600
It's how the players go
about rehabilitating themselves.

411
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,120
It's about how do we attract
world-class sponsorships

412
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,720
that we'll need to drive revenue.

413
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,640
You go to New York City, you go to L.A.,

414
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,800
you will see people wearing
Birmingham City kit.

415
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,680
What we're working on will be
a one of one in English football.

416
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,840
There'll be nothing else like it.

417
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,160
But I'll promise the fans it's achievable.

418
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,000
And I promised the city it's achievable.

419
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,160
I'm not gonna apologise
for being optimistic.

420
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,560
I'm not gonna apologise
for being bold in our ambitions.

421
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,240
I am simply not going to,

422
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,800
nor will I change the direction
we're taking this club.

423
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,160
The way we've been sold it,

424
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,880
we're going to the sky.

425
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,600
We're going to the top.

426
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,360
You think, "God, this time…
this time, please be different."

427
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,960
Together, we're not gonna fail.

428
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,280
We will not fail.

429
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,720
For this club to succeed,

430
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,080
every single element of the organisation
has to be changed.

431
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,200
[reporter] Birmingham have sacked
head coach John Eustace.

432
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,240
This comes on the back
of a 3-1 win for Birmingham

433
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,120
at the weekend over West Brom

434
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,080
and the fact that they're sixth
in the Championship.

435
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Eustace departs after 15 months in charge,
having helped to stabilise…

436
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,800
[reporter 2]
John Eustace was on the right track.

437
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,840
[reporter 3] As high as Blues have been
for a good while in the Championship.

438
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,800
[fan] …may have made the wrong decision.

439
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,280
The football we've played this year…

440
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,280
What on earth is going on?
Why are we changing things now?

441
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:38,840
[fan 2] I think it's incredibly harsh
on John Eustace.

442
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,880
[fan 3] They don't deserve success
when they treat people like that.

443
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,400
A lot of people say,
"That's just football…"

444
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,120
You don't go into the club
and you just rip everything up

445
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,320
that's been built for the last two years.

446
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,480
In any organisation,
that's not the right thing to do.

447
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,640
[fan 4] Blues have been doing well
at the start of this season.

448
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,560
[fan 5]
The whole situation's just disgusting.

449
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,320
Why on earth would anybody…

450
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,560
[reporter]
We have a statement from Birmingham.

451
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,480
"The new first team manager will
be announced in the coming days,

452
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:10,680
creating an identity
and clear, no-fear playing style."

453
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,040
[camera shutters]

454
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,000
[Rooney clears throat]

455
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,840
Wayne Rooney came in
and we're like, "What?"

456
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,720
[Cook] A new era has to begin.

457
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,480
We're pleased to welcome Wayne Rooney

458
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,920
as the football club manager
here at Birmingham City.

459
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,840
[commentator] And here's Rooney!
Oh, my goodness me!

460
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Wayne Rooney was
one of the best footballers

461
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,600
that England has ever produced.

462
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,360
[commentator 2]
Rooney goes for the spectacular!

463
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,320
[Knight] But he's new to management.

464
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,200
It's not like we've chosen someone
with 20 years of experience.

465
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,240
[commentator]
Space for Rooney in the area.

466
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,280
Oh, that's magnificent!

467
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,520
It's almost like the owners said,
"Eustace? Nobody knows who he is.

468
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,200
We're gonna put in
one of the most recognisable

469
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,720
English football players
of the last generation,

470
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,680
just to put a load of eyes
on Birmingham City."

471
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,560
[Rooney] Seeing the ambitions of the club,
where they want to get to, excited me.

472
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,960
And I'm delighted to be a part of it.

473
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,320
[crowd cheering]

474
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,760
[commentator] After the controversial
sacking of John Eustace,

475
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,360
the pressure to gain promotion
to the Premier League

476
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,000
is at an all-time high.

477
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:52,600
[Knight] It is such a simple truth.

478
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:56,240
Victory equals acceptance.

479
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,080
Defeat equals dissatisfaction.

480
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,920
[commentator 2] Pulled back
for Bielik here. Good try. Good save.

481
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,320
[groaning]

482
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,880
Now Rogers picks it up for Middlesbrough.

483
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,160
Blues back-pedalling.

484
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,040
Gets it back from Crooks. It's in.

485
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,000
And Wayne Rooney's first game in charge
of Birmingham City ends in defeat.

486
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,720
What qualifies Wayne
to manage Birmingham City?

487
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,200
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

488
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,240
[commentator 3] Yes. Another opportunity
as it comes the way of Delap.

489
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,320
-Oh, my God.
-What the fucking hell was that?

490
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,120
[commentator 3]
What a nightmare for Birmingham.

491
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Here we fucking go again.

492
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,160
[pundit] Two losses from two.

493
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,040
I can understand the boos, you know,
after a couple of games.

494
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:52,240
-After two games.
-Yeah, because it makes no sense,

495
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,400
the decision.

496
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,360
[commentator 4] Southampton
all over Blues here.

497
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,440
There's another!

498
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,320
That's three defeats in a row now
for Rooney.

499
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,920
Rooney wouldn't have been my choice.
But he's our manager.

500
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,360
So you gotta support him.

501
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,440
[commentator 5] Wayne Rooney
once again on the losing side.

502
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,320
[fan] At the moment,
he gave up that Blue burn.

503
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,720
Let's just back him in this game.

504
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,320
-[interviewer] Let's make the most of it.
-Yeah.

505
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960
[commentator 4] That's another defeat
for Wayne Rooney's Blues

506
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,840
slipping down the table.

507
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,360
The owners must now be questioning
their decision.

508
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,560
[Brady] It's my second time here,

509
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,760
and I want to see the team
in a practice environment.

510
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Trying to get it right.

511
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,880
It's called the Elite Performance
and Innovation Centre.

512
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,600
Are you going to the right place?
This doesn't feel right.

513
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,840
[friend] Why don't you
zoom in on the map, dude?

514
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,080
[Brady] Birmingham City Football Club.

515
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,680
[Rawitz] That's the owner right there.
He doesn't know where his…

516
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,640
where his training facility is. [laughs]

517
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,560
You know, I honestly,
I've had enough of you already.

518
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,960
It's a big city, Birmingham.

519
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,960
Birmingham.

520
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,600
Birmingham.

521
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,160
[friend 2] Dude, don't say the H.

522
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,880
-[Rawitz] Fuck you, dude.
-It's great to be here at Birmingham.

523
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,200
Birmingham.

524
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,120
Left here.

525
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,760
[driver] We will leave the ownership
to you. Let us do the driving.

526
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,560
[Brady] You guys need
to come up with, like, a name for me

527
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,440
that just is gonna show your respect.

528
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,440
-Like Your Highness or, um…
-[Rawitz] Emperor.

529
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,520
-My Saviour.
-[friend 2] Yeah.

530
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,520
Any one of those two will suffice.

531
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,480
But, Tom, we were winning before you came,
and you got involved.

532
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,840
[Brady] What can I provide
that nobody else can?

533
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,720
I think there's a feel I have
with what I see, what I watch,

534
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,960
what I hear, how we're training,
how we're preparing,

535
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,360
and evaluations of our own team.

536
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,400
[automated voice]
You've arrived at your destination.

537
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,200
[Rawitz] Outside?

538
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,120
They have a fucking shipping container
as their league performance centre.

539
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,800
[Brady] Guys, respect.
You know, a lot to fix.

540
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,680
-This is the shit team you bought?
-Dude, this is the jewel

541
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,040
of Birmingham right here.

542
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,120
-Good.
-How you doing?

543
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,400
-Hi, Tom. Nice to see you, my man.
-What's up? I'm good, you?

544
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,080
-You dudes park up top. Go round there.
-Cool.

545
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,560
Got a space round to the back
and side there.

546
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,080
-Awesome. Thank you.
-Terrific, thanks.

547
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,120
[Rawitz] This is like Dulaney High School.

548
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040
It's, like, written in crayon,
"parking for owner".

549
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,680
[Brady] I'm literally so sick of you guys
being fucking critical.

550
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,480
-[friend 2] Game face, everyone.
-[Rawitz] Everybody pretend.

551
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,560
[Brady] Game face.

552
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,160
-How's everything?
-I'm good, are you?

553
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,280
-Feel great. Good to see you guys.
-It's all good. Yeah.

554
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,240
[Brady] I believe in discipline
and accountability,

555
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,400
and I think that's got to start
with the top of the organisation.

556
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,760
From the ownership, to the CEO,
to general manager, to the head coach.

557
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:03,880
-Hey, my man.
-You good?

558
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,960
-How you doing?
-Good to see you.

559
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Good to see you, buddy.

560
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,160
-If you start at two as we were…
-Yeah?

561
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,040
I think he'll still have the space
to just get that…

562
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,880
[chattering]

563
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,960
Just make sure it's nice and tidy in here.

564
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,800
We can't ask our players to be disciplined
and accountable if we're not.

565
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,600
What's up, man?

566
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,160
-Nice to meet you. You okay?
-I'm doing great.

567
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,000
-You scored, what, two games ago?
-Yeah.

568
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,680
-Should be scoring every game.
-[chuckling]

569
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,920
[Brady] Do you get snow here much?

570
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,480
Not a lot, but it's just dull like in…

571
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,120
In the summer,
you can come here for preseason…

572
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,080
-Yeah.
-…and, like, 9:00 am, it's dark outside.

573
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,720
-And it's just like, "Fuck."
-Yeah.

574
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,320
-It's hard.
-Yeah.

575
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,520
Same thing.

576
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,600
We'd show up at 6:00 am, it'd be dark.

577
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,960
You'd go out for practice,
you'd go back in and watch all the film

578
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,040
then you'd leave at 4:30 and it was dark.

579
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,240
And you'd go home and you'd be like,
"Ugh. Okay."

580
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,720
-[staff] Where's the daylight?
-Yeah.

581
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,120
The only way that gets you through
that too is winning, you know?

582
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,560
-Yeah.
-'Cause like everything else then,

583
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,440
it just gets exponentially harder.

584
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,280
-Yeah.
-You know?

585
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,640
It's what everyone's trying to do.
Easier said than done.

586
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,400
Yep.

587
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,280
So are you… You coming to the meeting?

588
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,400
Yeah, I'd love to.
Yeah, I don't wanna be a distract…

589
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,840
-Like I say…
-Oh, it's…

590
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,600
I just love being here
and seeing you guys,

591
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160
and honestly appreciate
all the hard work you guys are putting in.

592
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,080
-I know there's been a lot of change, but…
-Yeah.

593
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,480
…just trying to do the best we can do.

594
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Yeah, no, I'll sit down with you as well
before we do the meeting and…

595
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,320
Erm, and show you some of the stuff
we're doing, you know?

596
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Awesome.

597
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,080
-So you can understand a little bit more.
-Awesome.

598
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,160
Awesome.

599
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,440
[Rooney] So, um, we've got a meeting
with the defenders.

600
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Um, they're gonna come
in after I've spoken to you now.

601
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,160
So, if you watch Dion here
and watch the space he goes in.

602
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,360
See him?

603
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,800
So now he doesn't go tight.

604
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,880
Lets him turn…

605
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,960
This space here…

606
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,320
-Yeah. You'd rather…
-…is too big.

607
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,000
-You want both of them…
-Yeah, so it's small details…

608
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,080
-For the win.
-…for them, which we need to improve on.

609
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,600
[Brady] It happens.

610
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,520
Everyone fucks up,
that's the reality of sport.

611
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,960
-Yeah.
-[Brady] We're not perfect.

612
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,520
We all fuck up, it's just,
when we fuck up,

613
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,360
do we have people that can save it?
Or sometimes you can't

614
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,880
and you gotta make up for it.

615
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:27,520
Our priority is hard work, discipline,
communication, resilience.

616
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,080
I'm good, man. Good to see you.

617
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,000
And those priorities reflect
what the actions and the behaviours are.

618
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,600
You leave him offside,
he's got to work to get back onside.

619
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,960
[Brady]
The coach should transmit those values.

620
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,160
-…the importance of stepping in.
-[door opens]

621
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Here you go.

622
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Do you want to do it?

623
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,000
We've spoke to you yesterday
on the importance of stepping in

624
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,920
as defenders, and we push in.

625
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,200
If they want to play the ball into him,
you fucking go and smash him.

626
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,160
[players clamouring]

627
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,400
[whistle blows]

628
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,760
-They're playing in the Championship…
-Yeah.

629
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,240
-…and not Premier League.
-Yeah.

630
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,800
'Cause we've all passed a bit in life,
and kicked the ball and run,

631
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,000
but it's a focused concentration
for 90 minutes.

632
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,760
[Brady] I mean, what's different in soccer
than football? Nothing.

633
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,400
Nothing.

634
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,720
I treated practice
like it was the Super Bowl.

635
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,120
Every game, like, we would do
a two-minute trip at the end of the game,

636
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,080
and I would score a touchdown at practice.

637
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,080
I'd be standing there like,
"Fuck, we won the game."

638
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,440
-Even though it was practice.
-Yeah.

639
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,240
You know, and then my teammates,
it was like,

640
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,760
"Fuck, okay.
That's how we're gonna do it."

641
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,520
So then when I got into the pros,
everyone was like,

642
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,440
"Yeah, well, you know,
it's just practice."

643
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,240
And I walked in and was like,
"No, fuck this."

644
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,280
We're going like… This is real.

645
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,960
Put the pressure on them.
Make them earn everything.

646
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,880
-Yep.
-You know?

647
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,360
But, no, they're a good group of lads,
to be fair.

648
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,400
-Yeah.
-They're trying.

649
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,240
-They are trying, but it's just the focus.
-Yeah.

650
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,400
[whistle blows]

651
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,040
We've got a long road ahead.

652
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,600
We'll get there.

653
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,480
[Brady whistling]

654
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,160
I'm a little worried
about our head coach's work ethic.

655
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:28,280
[Rawitz laughs]

656
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
[Rawitz] Little too lackadaisical?

657
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,800
[Brady] I mean,

658
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,560
I don't know
but I don't have great instincts on that.

659
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,520
[commentator] Welcome to St. Andrew's
on a chilly November afternoon.

660
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,360
Eight games into Wayne Rooney's tenure,

661
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,200
and the Blues have
been less than impressive.

662
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,240
They'll be keen to get a result today
under the watchful eye of Tom Brady.

663
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,880
[suspenseful music plays]

664
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,400
[Brady] We're not one of the teams
that anyone is worried about playing.

665
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,160
[fans cheering, shouting]

666
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,160
[commentator]
Another poor display from the hosts here.

667
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:19,000
And tempers around St. Andrew's
are starting to fray.

668
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,960
[fans shouting]

669
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,800
[Brady] We can never beat a good team.

670
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,560
We fuck up leads when we have them.
We always give up goals.

671
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,640
We're always playing from behind.
We don't control the ball.

672
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,080
We're sloppy with our technique.

673
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,680
[commentator 2] Birmingham City
will continue to sink down the table.

674
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,880
You hired a manager
without the right experience.

675
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,160
[Brady] We can't string together wins.

676
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,880
[fan] Oh, for fuck's sake!

677
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,520
He's not getting
the best out of the players.

678
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,640
He ain't!

679
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:53,440
And every fuckin'…
Any blind man can see that.

680
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,200
-He's fucking shite.
-He's shit.

681
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,920
We always said in football, "You can't win
till you can keep from losing."

682
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,560
[Brady] Well, we fucking lose
almost every match.

683
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,040
[commentator 3] This is Gooch. Big
opportunity and off the line by Roberts.

684
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,120
Driven back in to very good effect.

685
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,000
-That's shocking, mate.
-[fan 2] Absolutely.

686
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,120
Really bad, yeah.

687
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,520
[Brady] It's always an uphill slog,
and we just can't get out of our own way.

688
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,200
Why is this manager still here? Why?

689
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,520
[commentator 4] Lovely pass from Rutter.

690
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,880
Firpo's cross… Summerville!

691
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,320
Leeds have dominated.

692
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,240
Fuck's sake.

693
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,360
We dug ourselves a huge hole.

694
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,040
[crowd booing]

695
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,000
[Sam] Right now,

696
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,080
I don't know where we go.
I don't know what the answer is.

697
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,680
And I don't like it.
I really don't like it.

698
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,880
Tom Brady, he's instilling that belief
that losing is not an option.

699
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:06,560
And if it happens you have
to really, really do something about it.

700
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,800
Three, two, one.

701
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,720
Bang.

702
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,320
Breaking news. Birmingham have sacked
Wayne Rooney as manager.

703
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,320
After a run of just two wins
from 15 games played,

704
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,160
Birmingham City have decided. Time up.

705
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:32,200
There never was the basis
for the appointment. No substance,

706
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,160
no data, no intelligence,
no thought process.

707
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,760
Nothing about the appointment looked to me
like the right appointment,

708
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,000
and look how bad it's gone.

709
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:53,320
We had a view that we could begin
to develop a different culture.

710
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,280
As it relates
to our approach on the pitch.

711
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,240
And we were convinced
that there would be an individual

712
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,440
that could bring that shift
to bear faster.

713
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,800
Um, it didn't work.

714
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,880
And ultimately,
we bear full responsibility for that.

715
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,240
You know, it's our fault.

716
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,320
[Brady]
There was some good advice that I got.

717
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,520
Like, listen, don't go in there
and make these big sweeping changes.

718
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,880
You guys have time. And of course,
we make sweeping changes.

719
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,160
And the sweeping changes…

720
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,600
And that was our doing.

721
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,320
[Knight] We played Norwich.

722
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,000
If we won, we stood a chance
of not getting relegated.

723
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,520
However, it depended
on other clubs not winning.

724
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,520
Because if they won then they would finish
with more points than us.

725
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,440
It happened that Blackburn was managed
by John Eustace,

726
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,880
who was removed
in favour of Wayne Rooney at Birmingham.

727
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:03,160
So, there was someone
who had Birmingham's fate in their hands.

728
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,400
How are we doing today?

729
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,560
How we doing in there?

730
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,520
Everybody okay?

731
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,160
I definitely didn't sleep
through the night at all

732
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:18,920
before our last match.

733
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,600
-Is everyone ready for a big day?
-Yeah.

734
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,240
-How loud are you guys gonna be today?
-Very loud!

735
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,680
What! Let me… Okay…

736
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,480
I would wake up in the middle of the night
like, you know… [gasps]

737
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,480
You know, something occurs to me.

738
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,480
[shouting]

739
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,600
It's like… It's okay. I think we can…

740
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,880
I felt the weight
of thousands of supporters

741
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,280
on my shoulders.

742
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,720
[shouting]

743
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,280
That's what we need.
That's what we need today.

744
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,440
Ten minutes till kick-off.
How you feeling?

745
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Shitting myself.

746
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,640
[fan] We're here again.

747
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:53,040
Getting sick of it now,
but, you know what?

748
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,880
We've done it before, we'll do it again.

749
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,160
[commentator] This is it then.

750
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,720
If Blues were to be relegated today,

751
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,680
it will be the lowest the club have been
in 30 years.

752
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,480
Tom Wagner, the commander-in-chief,

753
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,320
saluting his troops into battle.

754
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,560
With an army of 27,000 behind them.

755
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,640
I just don't want us
to fucking get relegated.

756
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:24,400
'Cause then that puts a huge…
Very damaging to everything we're doing.

757
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,520
[Wagner] The most important element
by far, obviously, is to avoid relegation,

758
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,880
but I don't see that happening.

759
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,160
[crowd chanting]

760
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:41,200
I'm not trying to be overly optimistic
or Pollyanna-ish.

761
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,400
I just think that we have a side
that is good enough to avoid that.

762
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,280
[commentator] The odds stacked against us.

763
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,360
Today's task, for Blues,
is just one word. Win.

764
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,320
[whistle blows]

765
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,760
Back in the day,
there used to be one bloke with a radio.

766
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,800
He had a little earphone in, and he'd be,
like, sharing the scores as they go in.

767
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,280
But everyone had their phone out

768
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,840
because there was about four teams
that could have gone down.

769
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:18,640
[crowd exclaims]

770
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,800
[commentator]
What a tackle that is from Bielik.

771
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Oh, well done!

772
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,280
Well done! Come on now.

773
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,760
Oh, he missed it! He missed it!

774
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,400
Okay.

775
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,360
[commentator] First big goal
of the afternoon has gone in.

776
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,920
Sheffield Wednesday have taken the lead
against Sunderland.

777
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,400
So Blues, currently, have lost
one of their lifelines.

778
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,160
Keshi Anderson pulls the trigger himself,

779
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,920
with a thought for Jay Stansfield!

780
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,200
[whistle blows]

781
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,320
[crowd cheering]

782
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,600
So, Plymouth doing what they need to do

783
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,760
by beating Hull by a goal to nil.

784
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,080
-Wicked ball in… There was Bielik.
-[commentator 2] Oh!

785
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,000
Blues unable to find
that all important breakthrough so far.

786
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,200
Over the top it goes,
and Miyoshi will latch on to this.

787
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,360
Run!

788
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,160
-Koji Miyoshi…
-Yes!

789
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:35,640
…goes down.

790
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,760
And the referee rather nonchalantly
waves away appeals.

791
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,920
Fucking hell! You're two yards away
from the fucking thing. Put your flag up!

792
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,360
[commentator]
And that's a frustrating half.

793
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,840
I went, "This is it. We're going down."

794
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,280
And Little Miss Positive was like,
"We might not. We might not."

795
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:00,960
[whistle blows]

796
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,880
[commentator] Paik is onside.

797
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,000
And here is Keshi Anderson!

798
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,520
Courageous block.

799
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,800
Desperate times for Blues.

800
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,960
We simply must score.

801
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,320
Anderson…

802
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,160
Deflected.

803
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,320
-[commentator] Yeah!
-[commentator 2] Get in there!

804
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,200
Pandemonium!

805
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,000
-Hope!
-Get in!

806
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,040
[commentator]
A goal that could really matter for Blues.

807
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,560
[commentator 2]
Look what it means to them.

808
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,640
[commentator] So far,
it's not quite enough to keep us up.

809
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:45,800
One of the three teams above us
simply have to drop points for survival.

810
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,720
And this is Ethan Laird,

811
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,280
Jutkiewicz lining up in the middle.
It's towards the big man!

812
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,680
[crowd groans]

813
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:54,440
Oh, I don't believe it.

814
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,360
Blackburn have taken the lead
in the King Power.

815
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,240
John Eustace coming back to haunt Blues.

816
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,880
[Lombardi] Each minute that passed,

817
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,480
it started to sink in
that this is actually gonna happen.

818
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,000
We're actually gonna get relegated.

819
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,920
[commentator]
Blackburn have scored a second.

820
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,680
So, Blackburn are staying up.

821
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,600
Blues can do nothing
to change their fate now.

822
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:25,560
And that's it.

823
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,160
Despite doing what needed to be done today
here at Saint Andrew's,

824
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,720
at Knighthead Park,

825
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,920
Birmingham City have
been relegated to League One.

826
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,720
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
showing their appreciation for you

827
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,960
and for all of your support
this season as well,

828
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,320
our 23-24 squad.

829
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,520
I think it was almost a relief.

830
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,720
Because you haven't got
that feeling every year

831
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,640
of, "Are we going? Are we not?
Are we gonna do it? Are we not?"

832
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,240
But, yeah, we've done it now.

833
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,640
The reality is that, you know,
our decisions didn't pay off.

834
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:20,480
[fans chanting]

835
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,320
Maybe this year, stay with us.
We'll come back.

836
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,680
I know. We'll come back.

837
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:35,640
I spent an hour and a half post-match
standing at the railing by our seats,

838
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:37,120
um, just talking to fans.

839
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,080
-We're relying on you.
-I won't… I know.

840
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,240
We're relying on you.

841
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,760
-Thank you.
-Do you know what I mean?

842
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,960
[Wagner]
Given the disappointment of relegation,

843
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,760
it was a pretty
emotionally draining exercise.

844
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,560
But I felt it was important to listen
to what everyone had to say.

845
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,960
Going in, what I didn't expect was
how emotionally connected

846
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,720
I would become to the club
and to the supporters.

847
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,680
-Things conspired against us.
-[Wagner] I know.

848
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,720
-It's an unbelievable stack of cards.
-[fan 2] We've got a curse.

849
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,480
I just believe it's, curse? No.
Bad management? A million per cent yes.

850
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,000
[fan 3] Stay with us
or get rid of half our lot.

851
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,360
-I'm telling you now.
-Yeah, we will.

852
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,840
Because we haven't got the guts.

853
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,480
I wait with bated breath
to see what happens.

854
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,360
[announcer] Will all supporters
please leave the field of play

855
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,200
and return to the stands, please?

856
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,120
[Brady] We're trying to make this
a world-class team.

857
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,120
But the reality is, it's been a shit year.

858
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,520
What's the problem?
Is it the players or the coach?

859
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,040
Well, we've already changed the coaches.
It's really the players.

860
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,440
'Cause the coach doesn't go out there
and get the ball in the goal.

861
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,080
[crowd clamouring]

862
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,560
They were lazy. They were entitled.

863
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,280
And when you're lazy and entitled,

864
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,880
you don't have much of a chance
to succeed.

865
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,240
[announcer] Please leave the field of play
and return to the stands, please.

866
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,640
[Brady] We've got to change all the people
that are associated with losing.

867
00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:14,800
So, I think, this summer
there's gonna be a lot of people gone.

868
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,160
There's gonna be a whole different
environment when they, you know,

869
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:19,800
step in the door
for the competition next year.

870
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,640
Let's take no fucking prisoners.

871
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,680
We'll get it done
how we gotta get it done.

872
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:34,880
[pundit] A new league.

873
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,920
A new environment,
and a team that is full of new players.

874
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,120
People are hoping that you're gonna fail.

875
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,160
To have silver in your hand,
you have to fucking win big games.

876
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:51,240
[commentator] High-profile onlookers
in this League One blockbuster.

877
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,800
[crowd singing]

878
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,920
[Brady] Wrexham,

879
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,520
we're coming for your ass.
