Open Extended ReactionsBirmingham City minority owner Tom Brady has questioned his side's former manager Wayne Rooney's "work ethic" and called some of the squad from the 2023-24 season "lazy and entitled." Seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady became a minority owner of Birmingham in August 2023 following Knighthead Capital Management LLC and American financier Tom Wagner's takeover of the club. "I'm a little worried about our head coach's [Rooney's] work ethic," Brady said in an Amazon Prime documentary to launch Friday, focusing on Birmingham's promotion to the Championship last season. Tom Brady and Tom Wagner were both in attendance at Wembley last season as Birmingham lost the Vertu Trophy final to Peterborough.
