I am Birmingham by Birth & American by Choice , I could not be any prouder to be a Blues Fan & have Tom Wagner as the owner , bringing Tom Brady on board is literally icing on an already amazing cake , KRO from Hawaii .
I say this with a sour taste (beacuse it means Villa have to do well consistently) but it's about time Birmingham football caught up and went up against Manchester, Liverpool and London. Been left too far behind in the Prem era.
Blues fans this man has talked about the team and club more in this interview than the previous owner combined , And he has an understanding and knowledge about everything ,,,,,, Hope this is the start of great things for you guys ,,,,,
Tom Wagner is not wrong, all those previous football investors missed a big opportunity. Birmingham isn't just Britain's second city, it is said to be the biggest local authority in Europe .
Which is currently over a billion quid in debt and rising.......it's the worst local authority by a country mile - I know from first-hand experience as I've lived here most of my life....
Considering there is no "London FC" and the "Manchester" name in football is massive, Birmingham makes huge sense. We have an excellent and fierce rivalry with Aston Villa too being former European Champions who are very much on the rise themselves after under performing for a few years. Birmingham is also incredibly diverse, well position geographically etc We have so much going for us and I am so excited for the future of our club!
He certainly says all the right things. If he delivers the club has a lot to be optimistic about. Interesting that an American can see the potential of the city as a whole, unlike so many British people who still think it has not changed since the 1950s.
Biggest sleeping giant club in the uk Theres no london fc Birmingham city is the biggest named club and has the potential for the most fans in europe given the 5 million population and another 5 miliion greater Birmingham with only 2 teams and aston villa cant get any bigger no matter the years of success..its a no brainer
As Villa fan, I know all to well the rivalry between our two clubs, I hope that we get more of it, blues are the only local team that hasn't been in top flight football for a long time, and I hope that changes💜☮️💙 UTV
🎉 awesome content. Tom thanks you have put a huge smile on me a long time Blues fan living in Brazil 🇧🇷! Good luck 🍀 in you we trust KRO! I can smell the Premier in a few years down the road 🎉🎉😊
I get more excited after every interview of yours I watch. my knowledge of American football is limited but you'd have to have lived in a cave to not know and be excited by Tom Brady's involvement. I'm a brummie and a BlueNose, if you have anything I could do or any way I could assist with our exciting future, after id finished wetting myself I'd be like a man possessed. Probably didn't air in the states but " giz a job"
At least he doesn't say Soccer like all the other Americans 😂😂 Good times coming hopefully,its been a very very long and disappointing time in the Championship for the Blues Onwards and upwards from now on hopefully 🙂🙂🙂🙂 KRO
To have new owners with the openness shown to date, coupled with their 'blue chip' presence and financial structure, as well as significant experienced board members, makes Birmingham a very lucky club to have them on board. Everyone in the club benefits. 80 years a fan and this is the first time I have felt truly pleased and convinced the club is in good sound hands. KRO. 💙⚽️🌈
He's going to need very, very deep pockets. The club is an absolute mess. The squad, the ground and convincing the fans to cough up prices that they're not used to. Brady certainly talks a good game but he's got one hell of a job to do at a club that's been rotting for years.
The diversity has done Brum, much like the rest of England, no favours whatsoever. Maybe Mr Wagner should actually spend some time walking around the diverse parts of the city without a security detail and the fourth estate close behind him and then try again to sing diversity's praises with a straight face.
I will measure success by watching Tom Brady enjoy a half time balti pie with a pint in plastic when it's -2 degrees C, fretting over the second half when we are a scrappy 1-0 up v sunderland at half time 17-2-24. Only then will this fever dream seem real....
I feel like im dreaming...everything that every blues fan has dreamt in terms of strategy and vision is being put into reality Im exicted for the years to come and i think its been a long time since any blue nose has said that...we need to reflect this same commitment in our attendance and singing till our voice has gone ....but more songs please 😂 KRO is our anthem.
I have no right to comment being a Villa fan but many blues fans can’t go because of the state of the stadium and the 50% are those that can’t go. Realistically blues need a new stadium and the question will be how much can they expand St Andrew’s in it current location and is the short to long term view is to leave St Andrew’s ? Now in classic style I will expect a lot of abuse coming my way being a Villa fan on here but I put the question out there
You are right villa are in birmingham and so is a part of West broms ground . But villa are a midlands club and beyond . Blues are birminghams team . When the league carried out a check on all 92 league clubs ,and how many season ticket holders came from with a 30 mile radius of the ground , blues came 6th out of 92 clubs . Burnley were 1st So we are birminghams team , our supporters are ,to a massive percentage , brummies. Lets see where this goes We have a lot of catching up to do
@@joebees21 I never said it was false just not common knowledge. He must have been using google for his research it states B'ham as being commonly referred to as Britain's second city . I think that is far from the reality of things though.Outside of London or Birminham people would struggle to answer that one .
I wish Birmingham the best in their football and their city but as the second largest city in the UK it lags well behind places like Manchester and Liverpool for any kind of cultural importance, for many it's just a place where you change trains.
@@mickyquin shall I tell you. Save you some time ? It was when you was in the news for the stadium you play in was falling apart. Pony club your an embarrassment to the city

I spotted that too. We met him and shook his hand at St Andrew’s, he’s one determined and focused guy.

This is the most excited I have been to be a blues fan since the league cup win
Yup. It's the only exciting thing to happen since the league cup win.

In Wagner we trust 🇺🇸💙 beautiful balding bastard the blues are back !

The question that first occurred to me was: Have the two Toms been told about the gypsy's curse?
USA!!!! USA!!!!! USA!!!! Mr Wagner and Brady will take Blues back to the Prem
As a Villa fan in peace. I really hope its a new dawn for Blues
Good long term investment from Wagner and Brady the absolute legends kro
Big things will happen with Wagner running the club
Brilliant interview, i love this bloke now, and the other new Tom too 🥳💯✊
A owner who cares, a owner with passion. It’s been a long long time.
It's fucking overwhelming mate. Literally keep welling up.

For the first time in as long as I can remember it’s so exciting being a blues nose.
He said he wants to expand the stadium capacity? They can't even fill it now.
How was your capacity after a few years of struggle in the championship?
Thank you.
Keep right on!!
No longer tired and weary………….
