As well as considerable investment in the playing squad that delivered last season’s record-breaking promotion to the second tier under Chris Davies, Blues’ owners have poured between \u00a320m and \u00a325m into improving the stadium.<\/p>\n
There are also plans to move to a new 62,000 seater home ground as part of a \u00a33bn regeneration of a new Sports Quarter in the city.<\/p>\n
It is hoped that new stadium will be open by 2030.<\/p>\n
“This transaction is another important milestone for Knighthead and Birmingham City Football Club,” Wagner said of SCL’s move to full ownership.<\/p>\n
“Transformation has taken place across every aspect of the club’s operations since our initial investment and it’s just the beginning. <\/p>\n
“Later this month we will unveil our new stadium design which will be at the heart of East Birmingham’s Sports Quarter. <\/p>\n
“The ambition for our club is to be a beacon of excellence for Birmingham on the global stage. The journey to deliver this is well under way.”<\/p>\n
Birmingham are ninth in the Championship table after 14 games, two points outside the play-off places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As well as considerable investment in the playing squad that delivered last season’s record-breaking promotion to the second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-556005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115510849416357885","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=556005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=556005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
