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.

In 2023, the Blues released six players after their contracts expired—though Kevin Long re-signed two months later. The following year, another five players were let go following the club’s relegation to League One. Last season, only Grant Hanley and Lee Myung-jae were released after their short-term deals ended.
This trend has shifted dramatically. With Birmingham City now investing significantly in long-term contracts, nearly every player in Chris Davies’ squad is secured for at least the next season.</description></item></channel></rss>
