'Clear ambition' – Birmingham City verdict delivered by former boss
Today at 02:59 AM
Former Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett has said the club are showing ‘clear ambition’ under their current ownership.
Birmingham City brought back the 50-year-old for a second spell for the final eight games of last season.
However, the Blues were relegated from the Championship on the final day and now find themselves in League One.
Rowett has shared an insight into what it was like to work for their owners on the Business of Sport podcast: “Obviously there was a job to do but the experience of working with Tom Wagner, Tom Brady, all those guys, was fascinating. It was a snippet of where football’s going to go for certain clubs.”
“I’m sure if you spoke to people like Tom Wagner, midway through a relegation battle, they’re talking about plans for a new stadium. This is the bigger picture and what the owners want to do. I felt as a manager sometimes that it perhaps wasn’t the right timing to be discussing that, when you’re trying to win games of football and the pressure’s on.
“But it felt like something was building. Regardless of the team going into League One, it felt like the club was now on the up with good owners with a clear vision and a clear ambition.”
