Birmingham City are set to win the title in the 2024/25 season

Birmingham City are preparing for life in League One, having been relegated from the Championship last season, and the latest predictions have calculated that their promotion hopes are quite favourable.

Nobody could have predicted in October, when the Blues were sitting in the play-off places under John Eustace, that the results would dive off a cliff the way they did. However, the decision to remove Eustace from his position at the time was incredibly controversial and proved to be ill-informed.

The board decided to appoint former Derby County boss Wayne Rooney at the helm and the controversial decision has put the West Midlands outfit on a slippery slope to decline. Rooney lasted only three months in the dugout at St. Andrew, but the appointments of both Tony Mowbray and eventually Gary Rowett due to unforeseen circumstances did little to stop the sinking ship.

Now Birmingham City, led by Chris Davies in his first job as head coach, are hoping to bounce straight back from League One. Portsmouth, Sunderland and Charlton Athletic have shown in recent memory that clubs can find themselves languishing in the third tier if they don’t pay attention to recruiting.

However, the Blues have been active in the transfer window to ensure they do not repeat the same mistakes as these clubs. It has been revealed over the past two weeks that the hierarchy are willing to splash the cash this summer in a bid to win direct promotion back to the Championship, with a £20m budget reported in the media.

Furthermore, it was recently claimed that Birmingham are weighing up moves for Sparta Rotterdam forward Tobias Lauritsen in a potential £6m deal that would break the division’s transfer record.

With big spending seemingly on the horizon, a Supercomputer, which simulated every match for every League One team 1,000 times, tipped Davies to emerge as third-tier champions, three points clear of Blackpool, who are expected to comes in second place.

The writer’s vision

The supercomputers work on the current data available, so there’s a good chance this will change before the transfer window closes as rival teams strengthen their first-team squads. However, there is a strong possibility that Birmingham City will manage to finish at the top of the table by the end of the campaign.

The Blues already have one of the strongest squads in League One and certainly one of, if not the biggest budget. If Davies can get the team playing cohesively again, there’s no reason why Birmingham can’t go back to the first time they ask.
