Steven Knight: Birmingham City show would've been a tragedy' before US takeover
Briefly

The new series 'Built In Birmingham: Brady And The Blues' chronicles Birmingham City's takeover by Tom Brady and Tom Wagner. Creator Steven Knight noted that prior to the takeover, there wasn't much material to work with, as the club had limited success. With new leadership bringing ambition and resources, a compelling narrative emerged. The show addresses challenges faced by Brady and Wagner, including coaching decisions and performance issues, illustrating the cultural shift within the team and its supporters in a city where football holds deep meaning.
For most of my supporting Blues career, there's been not a lot to make a film about to be honest. It would have been a tragedy or a comedy, or both, previous to this.
It's the story that Tom Brady, who would win, and win, and win, takes over a team that loses and draws, and (has) just a completely different culture and ethic.
It was worth everything just to be there when Tom Brady and Tom Wagner entered a pub called The Roost, which is quite a rough Blues supporters' pub, just before a match.
Who wouldn't need to learn stuff? They're new to the country, new city. (There's) fantastic moments in terms of entertainment.
