Although Knighthead Park sounds like a football stadium from a 1990s video game, it’s a precursor to future developments at Birmingham City, which is owned by American Tom Wagner.

It has been a busy month for Wagner. He oversaw the appointment of Tony Mowbray as manager, forged an alliance with Oak View Group, and is currently approving the largest business agreement in the history of the team.

Knighthead, the owners of the Blues, have agreed to pay a minimum of £13.5 million over the course of the next 25 years in exchange for the name rights to St Andrew’s, Wast Hills, and a planned fan park that would be constructed on property owned by the club outside the Main Stand and Tilton. St Andrew’s and the fan park will be part of Knighthead Park, and The Knighthead Training and Academy Grounds will be the new name for Wast Hills. The agreement might be worth a staggering £25.4 million at best.

Additionally, a “Sports Quarter” is planned. Everything sounds very Manchester City, which is, of course, the company that Garry Cook, the CEO, used to work for.Cook actually described to BirminghamLive a few months back how minority investor Tom Brady had been completely astounded after seeing City’s Etihad Campus.

“His first question is, ‘How do we get this?'” Cook stated. How do we bring this about? The American owners of Birmingham City are starting to give it a sense that they will succeed.

The 53,000-seat stadium, cutting-edge training facilities, and academy are all conveniently located near each other at the Etihad Campus. To duplicate that in the Sports Quarter, Blues will need to commit a significant amount of money and effort.

Everything indicates that a new stadium may be planned in the future.Knighthead hopes to expand Birmingham’s sports and entertainment scene, and St Andrew’s may not be large enough or easily accessible enough.

Knighthead will greatly benefit from the opening of Curzon Street station and HS2. Given that it should be finished by 2033 at the latest, it makes sense that insiders at Knighthead discuss a 10-year plan.

Before moving into a new stadium, Blues must be in the Premier League. Revenue growth will generate more money to bolster the Blues’ first team roster in the pursuit of that objective, all while adhering to Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) guidelines.

With every social media impression that Blues receive beyond 20 million, Knighthead is willing to contribute £100,000 to the team.According to the agreement, Blues’ performance on social media alone may bring in up to £3 million a season. Although some would view it as a cunning method of circumventing the EFL’s strict P&S standards, nobody who supports Birmingham City will be bothered.

After six months as the Blues’ owner, Wagner has begun to fulfill each of the six commitments he made in that May open letter.Now go through and mark the points with a checkmark.

There are now more sources of revenue. The stadium has undergone repairs and upgrades. Tony Mowbray is a manager that has a successful history in the Championship.

A tactic for engaging fans With the announcement of Blues Matters on Thursday, a number of supporters now have a direct point of contact to voice their concerns. The fact that over £50,000 was raised to purchase Christmas presents for some of Birmingham’s most vulnerable children is proof positive that the Birmingham City Foundation is an important movement.

Apart from Wayne Rooney’s appointment, Wagner’s ownership hasn’t actually done anything wrong thus far. Birmingham City is headed in the right direction.
