Football General Manager
- Brady jokes about sharing WhatsApp message
- Birmingham are listed as top of the table
- NFL legend opened up on ‘Hollywood derby‘
Brady, who owns a minority stake in Birmingham, experienced a nightmare start to his association with the English club as they went down from the Championship in the 2023-24 campaign. However, the Blues bounced back in style as they won the League One title last year, while Wrexham finished second. Both teams were then granted a direct entry to the English second-tier.u0026nbsp;
Since the 2024-25 campaign, where Birmingham and Wrexham competed side-by-side, the two teams developed a fun rivalry, which has been named the Hollywood derby, due to the presence of American owners in both clubs. Ahead of a new campaign, where the two teams will renew their rivalry, Brady jokingly claimed that he would take a screenshot of the current league table, which shows Birmingham at the top, while the Welsh side are at the bottom of the pit.u0026nbsp;
Speaking on the rivalry, the NFL legend told BBC Sport: “I think it’s a fun rivalry for sure. I don’t wanna create any distractions for those players on the pitch but for Rob and Tom Wagner and Ryan, we all have a friendly rivalry going here as well offline.
When asked if they have a WhatsApp group and whether he would share a screenshot of the current league table with the Wrexham bosses, Brady replied: “We do, we have a good chain that constantly goes on. And again I think we’re always paying attention to one another.u0026nbsp;
“That could all change pretty quickly. I think our start is August 8th, so things change very quickly in sport. I agree, I’ll take a screenshot of that! Make sure they see that!”
The Blues will feature in the first match of the 2025-26 Championship campaign against Ipswich Town, while Wrexham are set to face Southampton, a day later.u0026nbsp;
