Being an American watching a fellow American backing the club I’ve loved since 2008 is truly incredible to see KRO 💙🇺🇸🦅
Tom Wagner knows exactly how to build a business and football in any form is a big business even bigger than the Stowmarket more money passes thorough this sport than any other big business. I'm so, prude to have him with us.
My mom passed away last November she had a season ticket at the club for almost 50 years , i can only imagine what she would have made of this
Blue blood still runs through our family KRO and thankyou Mr Wagner
Sorry for your loss, your mom will be so happy like my mom looking from heaven KRO 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙☁️🌨️
BY FAR THE BEST OWNERS WE'VE EVER HAD IM SO PROUD, im so proud my dad brought me up to support the blues forever grateful, historys about to be made, as we all sing its along road as we journey on keep right on till the end! Bluenoses i love you 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
It’s been a long time coming KRO
KRO brother
I wish Tom Wagner was my dad
Fantastic news for Birmingham. Any brummie should be proud. Thank you our new owners.
Any negative views are clearly jealous fans of other clubs. Kro
LOVE TOM WAGNER. he's saved our club. The future is bright...
In league one 😂
Exactly. This hasn't aged well
We have been screaming out for a take over like this for many years, blue skies ahead! KRO 💙
Agree, if we go down it will still be positive in some way. And a clear out on the field might be what we need. (Hoping we don’t go down mind!!!)
I could listen to Tom Wagner talk for days upon days. The future is extremely bright and BLUE!! 💙💙 KRO!!
Tom you are our saviour KRO 💙
I've supported blues since '84 and loved some of the ppl on the way from Julian Dicks, ooh Johnny Gayle, Macari (traitor) Jose, Peter Shearer ,Big Bazza, TF to Dugarry....but none as much as Tom Wagners making me feel 😂😂 KRO Cmonnnnn Bluessssss
These are very exciting times for Blues. I feel like it's a dream come true. Love these guys ❤
The only thing that they've made come true so far is a relegation scrap, so forgive me for not getting too excited just yet
I'd go to war for Tom and I still can't believe he's in my club but we are blessed after many many years of pain, KRO all you bluenoses and lets show those who doubt us exactly what this club means 💙💙💙
Thank you both. Appreciate everything your doing.
Keep right on I only hope I’m alive to see this all happen
Thank you Tom and Knighthead 💙💙💙
Excited time to be a blues fan 💙💙
The way these 2 speak about us is unreal and I feel their passion in there words and there is words that Gary cook said that suprised me and honestly the skies will get bluer UPTFB
Remember this Gary cook is the one who gave us Rooney gate he talk with fork tongue 😢
I've been a Blues fan since my dad took me to games as a kid. I'm 45 now and a season ticket holder. The future is sounding very exciting and I'm here for the journey.
If you’re a season ticket holder are you in them executive box’s?
Can’t wait for the future 🎉
Don't rush Oliver my boy - it'll get here quick enough believe me! 🤣🤣❤❤
Making all the right noises, he has this great city eating out of the palm of his hands, I am confident he will deliver. Exciting times ahead for the second city KRO 💙
I remember a Chinese hairdresser promising big and look how that ended up😂😂
I can’t wait 🎉🎉🎉 absolutely fantastic news for us blues fans KRO 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵🎉🎉🎉
Tom Wagner is the best thing to happen to Birmingham City football club in my lifetime 4 decades
Thank you Tom Gary and all directors for giving us hope and putting a smile on our faces.
how much do you love Tom Wagner 😍😍😍🔵⚪️💙👍🏻
I think that Tom needs to understand that people don't necessarily doubt his intentions, it's just that as Blues fans, we are so used to living with disappointment that it is really taking a while for all of this to soak in. We are living in a dream, and just waiting for the slap in the face to wake us up to our normal reality. These are unprecedented and extremely exciting times for the club, we have had to suffer, and live in the shadow of that other club up the road for far too long. But the winds of change are blowing, and the future is looking very bright indeed. Thank you Tom, and all of your team for letting us dare to dream big! KRO.
Isn't this what Gold, Sullivan and Brady tried to do a few years back? The Solihull Borough Council in their wisdom voted against their proposals, so they went down to London and bought some interests in Upton Park. Look at West Ham now! It can be done... 💙💙
How amazing 💙 KRO!! I feel a bit emotional 😅
🥳❤️👌💙 Good News
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the video even though we are in a relegation fight. I'm very optimistic about the future I just pray we don't get relegated. KRO
I have supported BCFC for 60 years and in that time I have only had hope but never expectation. The prospect of a great infrastructure is great but we MUST get the infrastructure of the team sorted. Relegation is likely but a 'clear out' might be the best start..so TW fill the ground for Coventry and Norwich and get the 'kids for a quid'etc for these games. I am 68 and want to support a successful team and will be on that journey because it is in my blood.KRO
Goes wothout saying again tom uve saved us and well show u it was the right decision, gary cook i understand what youve done for us and how big you have been in these plans ..i also thank u from the bottom of my heart
Don't want to wish my life away at my age but I can't what for 2030. Thanks so so much. KRO SOTV
Exciting 🔵🔵🔵✊️
Villa fan.... For the region , we need the blues to do well...
A world class stadium will do wonders for the city...
We have London & Manchester clubs taking all the glory....
Love you Tom, from a fellow Peaky Blinders fan ❤
yes I think we can thank mr Knight and Peaky Blinders for this. I've supported Bkues for over 70 years and hope i will be able to witness the dream
KRO Knighthead REAL Organisation nexciting times
Fantastic owners for the future…
Absolutely love the potential here. Being a bluenose I'm obviously excited about the fortunes of the club, but equally, this is such a fantastic thing for the city. I really hope the plans to host other sporting events come's off. We'll get people loving the Brummie accent 😂.
But, to Tom Wagner - please, please, please, at some point in realising you amazing plans, can you spare a thought about investing into grass roots football. Especially the pitches. All through the youth leagues and into adult Sunday leagues, players have to endure ankle breaking mud baths which stifle any creativity. I know this is not a 'fix it all' thing, but please consider it, especially youth football.
👏🏾👏🏾❤❤
Thank you 💙💙💙💙💙💙 KRO
Nice they are thinking about the fan experience. My frustration at blues was trying to get home. I used to just walk in to the city centre and have a few medicinal pints of Guinness as you couldn't get a bus from the Coventry Road for an hour or so after the game. From what I've seen it's still a pain.
Great new owners, i just hope we don't go down this season.
It’s us against everyone else.
We all know that feeling as a blues fan
Looks like the future is bright ,the future is blue KRO
Any negative comments really should be laughed at. I can’t wait to leave StAndrews and the curse behind. These owners are what Blue dreams are made of. USA al the way. Thanks Gary for persuading the take over in the first place
He,s a GOD!...
Onwards and Upwards 💙💙💙💙
What a man
I think sorting out the new stadium now, near the end of the season, might be a bit of a distraction, but I think it’s cool! But wait! Since 1906, Blues have been at St Andrew’s, meaning that changing stadiums will be a very big change. Love you - down the Villa - Keep Right On!
💙💙💙KRO SOTV
Tom Wagner is the best thing that could happen for football never mind just Birmingham he is changing football from a few days a year place to go to a whole year venue that people will be able to go and enjoy there evenings not just football this could end up being the Disney world of football to come
Help for Harry Bracelet, Our Owner ❤
Looks like we’re going to be taking a step backwards first though. Great that Tom isn’t waiting for us to be safe first.
Tom Wagner is God ! Sadly Gary Cook got the commercial side confused with the football side of things. Still shaking my head at the Eustace/Rooney decision. Oh well, in Tom we trust 😁👍🏻
Sad that St Andrews is going had some good memories though
Me too. I remember singing 'I'd like to tell the whole wide world, the Blues are going up! With Trevor Francis and the lads and just a bit of luck...' My God, happier times... 😢😢
Birmingham heading back to the top of the Football world in the midlands. Wolves have been there for too long and now its Blues heading back up there where they belong
Nobody belongs anywhere until they get there but things are looking good for the Blues
Everyone in birmingham should be proud of these guys, even if you dont support the blues. Proud to be a blue nose!
Toomy Wagner is a Blue
Okay but one question.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO FUND THE STADIUM IF WE CANT GET BACK TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT SEASON?
Listening to Tom Wagner you can't help thinking blues are on the brink of something special. Then you look at the league table and think we are on the brink of something awful. Such mixed emotions. I pray we stay up and get a break.
Blues go down Blues go down Blues go down together with Wagner there we don't care we will be bigger than the villa 💙 🤍💙
There's been one mistake made by the owners and, in footballing terms, it was a big one. But big mistakes offer big lessons. Let's fit that big lesson into all the good the owners are doing.
Tom Wagner Top Brass
lets hope we can get back into the championship, let alone the prem, before the stadium is built hey... 💔😓
Too good to be true? Time will tell. Very skeptical
Bout time Mr Wagner stopped referring to “the product”.
I only worry about the Bollocktics in the Elf League.....the Royals have nothing on half Brummie Jim!!! KRO 4EVA TRUE 💙💙💙💙💙
where does the money come from ?
What will the money bring in?! That's what you should be pondering... 💙💙
Worried about relegation thou , that’s the problem not being negative. ..
This could be bigger than puddings
Well done Gary for getting Blues relegated. How come he still is holding his job?
Be careful.....the Snakes are all over St Andrews!!!
Thats the workingman gne !!
Why is Garry Cook here smiling? Should be out on his ear awful operator
Love hearing Tom Wagner speak but i still feel Gary Cook is a bit of a bellend 😂😂
It only can happen to a Birmingham city fan ,,,, we win carling cup against Arsenal…get relegated..have dross no care owners … these come in at start of season …pour money into St Andrews … alls looking 🎉🎉🎉…… WAYNE ROONEY …..total disaster…. We on brink of relegation… yet new ground coming ….can only happen to BIRMINGHAM CITY
We will win the champions league in 10yrs
Yeah Gary Cook was offering World Class ( Wayne Rooney Anyone ) ... Tom Get shot of Him before He hires Zola
Where's all this money coming from???
Knighthead themselves and, I assume, some commercial partners.
@@Stephen-IYB does FFP allow owners to invest in infrastructure?
I’ve heard a lot of talk over the past few days but only around 5% has actually been about football or about the team on the pitch..seems to me it’s more of an opportunity for this company to make money on events and corporate side of things
Unfortunately money is the priority in football nowadays. You sort the money out first and the football tends to follow.
We need to spend money on the team but FFP limits us. We need revenue. Why waste time telling everyone which Rolls-Royce you are going to buy if you don’t have the money to buy one? Get behind them and stop moaning.
You need money for good players….
Why won't he sack cook he is the problem and the reason we are in the crap we are in wagner needs to grow a pair and fire cook
Yet we are going to league 1 under them.
Birmingham is gonna fall to League one 😮.the is going from wors to the worst
You would have to be deluded to not feel embarrassed by the madness of what he is talking about. Stands by and watchs the team get relegated and thinks a 60.000 capacity stadium is going to be filled by putting on fire works and cheer leaders. American football fancise bullshyt is nothing like football, you will be sliding down the leagues and people will be laughing at you.
Absolute deluded these lot
Surely your plan Tom before you bought the club was to stay in the division? !!!!!! More Propaganda. When we are division 1 how you going to fill the stadium? With UB40 fans? Big ideas and big ambitions? What, like Wayne Rooney !!!
Revenue for who? No investor, especially no American investor, has ever invested for someone else's interests. Snake oil salesmen.
Oh there you are again. Have you joined tinder yet
That's a bid stadium for a league 1 club. UTV
Got your notifications on fella?
I love seeing vile fans on blues vlogs, rattled are we??
@@nicalev They just dont get it. Always with them got to be about they have more fans, they have more money, have richer owners, they have more colours on their shirts, they have more cups. On and on and on like a stuck record.
This is about Birmingham as a CITY and a stadium and facilities for the city not some shitty little shed in a suburb of the city called aston. Nobody will care about vile park anymore when the City of Birmingham stadium and surrounding area is finished.
Nothing to do with football - its the bigger picture. Where are the viles gazzillionaire owners building their new stadium? What are the viles owners doing to improve the city? Feck all.
Them pricks forget Dr Tony trying to sell their car park to pay the money owed and how desperately close they came to folding. For some with memories like theirs of 1982 you'd think they'd remember how desperate they were for cash and bankrupt at one point. Only ever works one way with them.
Heading to the UCL but posting on Blues videos. Weirdo.
How’s it going to feel when we get the big international tournaments? Even if we’re in the conference we will have a bigger ground that you lot 😂😂
Whatever happens with Blues over the next few weeks if what Tom Wagner has said doesn't instill Blues fans with massive amounts of confidence nothing ever will.
Watch it villa .....Blues are coming.....This is our City...Our time
Gary cook looks so proud...he.s done his best to get us relegated this season
How about getting a decent team before talking of bloody 60000 stadiums. Who advises these idiots?
The way these 2 speak about us is unreal and I feel their passion in there words and there is words that Gary cook said that suprised me and honestly the skies will get bluer UPTFB
