In October, head coach John Eustace was sacked and replaced by Wayne Rooney as manager. Rooney was sacked on 2 January 2024. His successor, Tony Mowbray, stepped back from the role in February to undergo medical treatment, took formal medical leave on 19 March, and Gary Rowett rejoined the club as interim manager. Mowbray resigned on health grounds on 21 May.[6] On 6 June, after "close to 1,000 coaches being evaluated and more than 40 being spoken to directly or through their representatives", Chris Davies, senior assistant coach under Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur, was appointed manager on a four-year contract. It would be his first senior managerial role.[7][8]
A June 2022 attempt to purchase the club by a group fronted by former Watford F.C. owner Laurence Bassini, involving financier Keith Harris and with money reportedly loaned by David Sullivan, came to nothing.[9][10] A consortium led by fashion industry businessman Paul Richardson and Argentine former footballer Maxi López announced in July that they were close to completing the purchase of a stake in the club, and later confirmed that they were providing operating funds,[11][12] but pulled out in December citing a failure to agree revisions to the original terms of agreement.[13] Richardson, López and their proposed chief executive, former Charlton Athletic chairman Matt Southall, were sanctioned by the EFL after admitting breaching regulations by taking effective control of the club without approval,[14] and the club were deducted two points, suspended until the end of the 2023–24 season.[15]
In April 2023, Birmingham Sports Holdings (BSH) confirmed letters of intent had been signed to sell 24% of Birmingham City plc shares held by themselves and the 21.64% owned by Oriental Rainbow, as well as the whole of Birmingham City Stadium Ltd,[16][17] to Shelby Companies Ltd, a subsidiary of asset management company Knighthead Capital Management fronted by Tom Wagner, Knighthead's co-founder and co-CEO.[18] EFL approval was forthcoming in early June, and Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) approval preceded BSH's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 13 July that voted overwhelmingly to accept the offer.[19][18] Although BSH retained 51% of the shares,[2] Wagner confirmed that Shelby were "responsible for the operations of the club moving forward" and that "nothing about the way the transaction is structured will prevent us from obtaining the long-term goals we have for the club."[20][21] The club's new board of directors included Wagner as chairman, four Shelby appointments, two BSH appointments, and Garry Cook as CEO,[22][3] and considerable media attention followed the arrival of seven-time Super Bowl-winner Tom Brady as minority owner and chair of the club's advisory board.[23][24]
Stadium
Work began during the 2022–23 season to demolish and rebuild the lower tiers of the Kop and Tilton Road stands, which had remained closed since late 2020 because of what was initially described as the effect of water ingress on structural steelwork and eventually revealed to be asbestos-related damage.[25][26] The works at the Tilton Road end, to include installation of rail seats to permit safe standing in the lower tier, were due to complete in September 2023, and the Kop was expected to fully re-open two months later.[26] Work stopped after main contractors Buckingham Group filed for administration in mid-August,[27] and resumed in mid-September under the management of Mace Consult, with completion expected by the end of November.[28] The Championship fixture against West Bromwich Albion on 6 October was used as a test event, with 834 safe standing places available for use.[29]
The 2023–24 home kit, supplied by Nike, consists of a royal blue shirt with a navy wave graphic pattern and trim, royal blue shorts and white socks, while the away kit has a red shirt with a black graphic pattern and trim, black shorts and red socks. Both carry the logo of the club's principal partner, streetwear company Undefeated.[51]
Before the first home game of the season, a 20,451 sell-out against Leeds United,[60] minority owner and seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady together with new chairman Tom Wagner visited two local pubs and spoke to the players in the dressing-room.[61][62] Ahead of kick-off, Jasper Carrott read an emotional tribute to club legend Trevor Francis, who had died in July.[60] There was one team change: Juninho Bacuna, who had scored both goals in the EFL Cup win earlier in the week, replaced the injured Roberts.[63][64] The first half was dull, the second less so. Both sides should have scored before Birmingham did: in stoppage time, Daniel James ran into Laird in the penalty area, and Lukas Jutkiewicz converted the kick, albeit via goalkeeper Illan Meslier's foot.[60] The starting eleven was unchanged for the visit to Bristol City. Koji Miyoshi replaced the injured Laird after 40 minutes and opened the scoring just before the break with a volley into the top corner of the net.[65] Bristol's Rob Dickie was sent off for a second yellow card, but his side should have equalised when Nahki Wells missed an easy chance. Birmingham made the score 2–0 after Šunjić's cross was steered home by Jutkiewicz.[66]
At home to newly promoted Plymouth Argyle, Miyoshi and Jordan James replaced the injured Laird and Dembélé and Bacuna switched to right back.[67] Anderson crossed for Hogan's first goal of the season after 8 minutes, but Plymouth's second-half pressure produced a 60th-minute equaliser.[68] In stoppage time, Bacuna headed off the line with Ruddy beaten,[69] and then – according to the Championship Goal of the Month nomination – "less than 30 minutes into his Birmingham debut, Stansfield latched onto a through ball, deftly lifted it beyond a defender and lashed a rising thunderbolt of a shot into the roof of the net."[70] He lost out on the award to Cardiff City's Aaron Ramsey,[71] but preserved Birmingham's unbeaten record, earning Eustace a nomination – also unsuccessful – for the Championship Manager of the Month award.[72][73]
First change of management
On 9 October, with the team sixth in the table, John Eustace was sacked as head coach.[74] The board's statement began:[75]
It is essential that the Board of Directors and the football management are fully aligned on the importance of implementing a winning mentality and a culture of ambition across the entire Football Club. With this in mind, Birmingham City has today parted company with Head Coach, John Eustace.
A new First Team Manager will be announced in the coming days who will be responsible for creating an identity and clear 'no fear' playing style that all Birmingham City teams will adopt and embrace.
After 15 matches – 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses – with Birmingham 20th in the table, Rooney was sacked and Robinson also left.[78] The club stated that:[79]
Despite their best efforts, results have not met the expectations that were made clear at the outset. Therefore, the Board feels that a change in management is in the best interests of the Football Club.
Football is a results business – and I recognise they have not been at the level I wanted them to be. However, time is the most precious commodity a manager requires and I do not believe 13 weeks was sufficient to oversee the changes that were needed.
Professional development coach Steve Spooner took over on an interim basis, to be supported by the remaining backroom staff.[78] He took charge of the FA Cup third round draw at Hull City, before Tony Mowbray was appointed manager on 8 January, with Mark Venus as his assistant.[81]
After eight matches in charge, Mowbray stepped back from the role in February to undergo medical treatment for an estimated six- to eight-week period. Venus took over the team with immediate effect,[82] but Birmingham secured just one point during the next month and were above the relegation zone only on goal difference.[83][84] On 19 March, Mowbray took formal medical leave, with his return scheduled for the beginning of 2024–25 pre-season, Venus was granted leave for a similar period, and Gary Rowett rejoined the club as interim manager for the last eight games of the season.[85] The team gained 11 points from those matches, which was not enough to save them from relegation to League One after 29 seasons at a higher level.[86]
As with all teams in the top two divisions, Birmingham entered the competition in the third round, in which they were drawn away to Championship rivals Hull City. The team was managed by professional development coach Steve Spooner, who was named interim manager after Rooney's dismissal.[133] He made seven changes from the starting eleven in Rooney's last match, but still selected a strong side, with Kevin Long returning to centre-half after lengthy injury. Jutkiewicz scored with a diving header after 18 minutes, but Matty Jacob reacted first to Neil Etheridge's failure to hold Aaron Connolly's 87th-minute shot and equalised.[134]
In the first round, Birmingham won 2–0 away to League One club Cheltenham Town. Juninho Bacuna scored both goals, a deflected shot after 24 minutes and a free kick from distance 8 minutes later.[138] When he came on as a second-half substitute, the 18-year-old Brandon Khela became the first British South Asian to play for Birmingham's men's first team.[139] They were drawn at home to Cardiff City in the second round.[140]

Over the very recent days, it has become apparent to me that I will not be fully fit to resume my duties as Manager of Birmingham City in the timescale that would allow the Club to best prepare for the forthcoming season and therefore, I have regrettably decided to step away from my role at this time. Once I have fully recovered, it is important to me that I then spend some quality time with my wife and my boys before I fully commit to work.
