Earlier this month, Birmingham City joined their fellow Championship new boys in the fly-on-the-wall documentary club, as they released an Amazon Prime documentary series charting the clubs new ownership.
As was the case with Wrexham, City were able to call on some stateside stardust to sparkle on proceedings, with NFL icon Tom Brady taking centre stage on the show which documents their 2023/24 Championship relegation and immediate, record-breaking return.
Again like Wrexham, Birmingham Citys promotion adds an intriguing subplot to the new second-tier campaign, not least because of the rivalry the ultra-competitive Brady seemed to be intent on stoking up in front of the cameras last season.
Prutton assesses Birminghams chances
It is clear that Brady and majority owner Tom Wagner want to see their club back in the top tier, but what does Sky Sports presenter David Prutton make of their chances?
They seem to be in a hurry to get back to the Premier League, the former England U21 skipper tells FourFourTwo. Theyre very business-like, their mindset is, Yes, we f**ked up by getting relegated to League One, but we got ourselves out of it sharpish and now were looking to go again.
Its not completely out of the realms of possibility - they won League One at a canter, while playing some wonderfully expansive football.
Outside of the teams with parachute payments, Birmingham and Wrexham have the biggest financial clout. I spoke to Blues manager Chris Davies at the end of last season - hes very focused.
They can use last season as a springboard.
Last years season saw City storm to the League One title, winning 111 points, 19 more than Ryan Reynolds and companys Wrexham.
This came after boss Davies was heavily backed in the transfer market, as the club brought in 17 new faces, spearheaded by the arrival of forward Jay Stansfield, who cost more than �10million plus add-ons from Fulham.
The club are yet to reach last summers spending levels, with the signing of �7.7m striker Kyogo Furuhashi their biggest deal so far, but the club have bought in some eye-catching names on free transfers, including Demari Gray, Phil Neuman and Bright Osayi-Samuel.
