Recent examples prove this true: Birmingham City lost Jordan James to Rennes two years ago after his impressive loan spell at Leicester City, and although Leicester has since suffered relegation, James remains a notable talent. Similarly, Coventry City’s acquisition of Jack Rudoni from Huddersfield has been highly successful, contributing significantly to their promotion campaign.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/19-championship-players-released-as-birmingham-city-finalise-retained-list/Tue, 12 May 2026 05:00:00 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/19-championship-players-released-as-birmingham-city-finalise-retained-list/As the Championship season wraps up, clubs are finalising their retained lists, and Birmingham City is no exception. The Blues must notify out-of-contract players about their futures by Saturday, May 16. Notably, Jonathan Panzo is the only senior player at Birmingham City whose contract is expiring this summer. Several other Championship clubs have already confirmed their released players. Charlton Athletic have let go of midfielders Luke Berry and Terry Taylor. Berry, 33, was instrumental in Charlton’s promotion to the Championship in the 2024/25 season and has previously worked with manager Nathan Jones at two clubs.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/birmingham-citys-squad-outlook-contracts-loans-and-future-plans-ahead-of-released-and-retained-list/Thu, 07 May 2026 05:00:00 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/birmingham-citys-squad-outlook-contracts-loans-and-future-plans-ahead-of-released-and-retained-list/After a period of heavy summer rebuilding, Birmingham City is aiming to adopt a more measured approach to squad development in 2026. Following their recent consolidation in the Championship, the club’s focus is shifting from rapid player turnover to careful recruitment and squad balance. Owners are eager to propel the club up the football ladder towards the Premier League, but realistic expectations are necessary. With 17 new signings in the 2024 off-season and 11 more arriving in 2025, the 2026 transfer window promises to be far less hectic.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/birmingham-citys-six-building-blocks-for-next-seasons-promotion-push/Thu, 30 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/birmingham-citys-six-building-blocks-for-next-seasons-promotion-push/Birmingham City stands on the cusp of achieving their first top-ten Championship finish in a decade. A single point at Portsmouth this weekend would bring the Blues' tally to 64 points, marking their highest total since Gary Rowett’s back-to-back seasons with 63 points. Yet, opinions diverge on what a tenth-place finish and around 66 points truly indicate, especially considering the significant investment made by the ownership in recent transfer windows. Last summer, Tom Wagner didn’t promise mere stability but signaled intent to dramatically shatter the glass ceiling that once held the club back a decade ago.
