Birmingham City have been relegated from the Championship in a disastrous first season for Tom Brady and the club's American ownership.
The Blues beat Norwich City 1-0 on the final day of the season but results elsewhere meant they will play in the third tier next season.
Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl winner, is the public face of the club's ambitious ownership group.
Led by chairman Tom Wagner and chief executive Garry Cook, they have plans worth £2billion to transform Birmingham City's fortunes but they took a significant blow on Saturday.
