Tom Brady has taken a dig at Aston Villa<\/p>\n
Birmingham City co-owner Tom Brady has fired a dig at local rivals Aston Villa<\/a>, with the club sharing a preview clip from a new Amazon Prime documentary. Brady purchased a minority stake in Blues back in August 2023, with the club branding his involvement a “statement of intent”.<\/p>\n And the NFL<\/a> icon’s involvement with Birmingham has been chronicled in Amazon Prime documentary ‘Built In Birmingham: Brady & The Blues’, which premieres on the streaming service on August 1.<\/p>\n The club recently posted a clip from the documentary on social media, with the caption: “@TomBrady with lesson #1 to being a blue.” In the clip, Brady says: “They love their soccer team, huh? What’s the other team here?”<\/p>\n When informed that Villa are Birmingham’s local rivals, Brady responds: “Is Aston Villa in the Premier League<\/a>? Are they pretty good? F*** them. F*** them up too.”<\/p>\n Birmingham are gearing up for their first season back in the Championship<\/a>, having won League One with a record points total of 111, and the Blues are among the favourites to win a second consecutive promotion this season.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Marcus Rashford closes on Man Utd transfer exit after timely message before Leeds fixture<\/a>READ MORE: Sam Allardyce reacts to giant mural of ex-England manager eating ORANGE CHIPS in hometown<\/a><\/p>\n “Ultimately, getting promoted into the Premier League (is our ambition),” Birmingham chairman Tom Wagner told BBC Sport<\/a> last month. “We’d like to do that as quickly as we can and then becoming highly competitive in the Prem.<\/p>\n “The reason we can do that, and I think this is something that is often lost on folks, if we were promoted next season, we’d immediately fall mid-table in total revenue because of the commercial partnerships that we’ve built up over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n “We will do total revenue this year that is very close to, if not, in line with the parachute payment clubs, as a Championship side not receiving any parachute payments. We’ll be very active in the transfer market.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n “We already have a sense as to who we’ll be going after, we’ve got a really high-quality squad that we’re assembling.”<\/p>\n “And when asked if he believes they can achieve back-to-back promotions, Wagner added: “That’s certainly the goal that we’ll try to achieve. The goal has to be as good as we were last season.”<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror<\/a> Football<\/a> content.
