Tom Brady has ended his three-year involvement as a minority investor in Birmingham City, the English second-tier club said on Monday, according to a Reuters report carried by The Guardian. The club thanked the former NFL quarterback for his support.
The Guardian reported that Brady invested in the club in 2023 and described him as a seven-times Super Bowl champion. The club's statement, as summarized by The Guardian, said it "expresses its sincere gratitude" to Brady.
BBC News reported that the departure ends an association of three years, and it described Birmingham City as a top-of-the-table Championship side. The BBC called Brady an NFL legend.
Both reports agree on the core facts: Brady is no longer involved with the club, and the association lasted three years. They differ mainly in emphasis, with The Guardian focusing on the club's statement and BBC News focusing on the club's place in the league table.
The Guardian reported that the club did not give a reason for Brady's departure. Neither source reviewed for this story states a reason, so the cause of the exit is not explained in the reports available.
The three-year period described in both reports matches the 2023 start of the investment that The Guardian gave.
