Squad31 Aug 2026

James Beadle breaks a bone — 41 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 41 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Carlos Vicente runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market31 Aug 2026

Birmingham turn down Giugliano for Marvin Ducksch

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market31 Aug 2026

Lee Buchanan hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Birmingham can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Ibrahim Osman in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Birmingham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Marvin Friedrich

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marvin Friedrich, and the manager let it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Craig Dawson falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Luis Vázquez

7.84, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Birmingham had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Match29 Aug 2026

Honours even between Birmingham and Sheffield

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A fracture rules James Beadle out for 49 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Birmingham will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Ibrahim Osman at 21 — 7.78

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ibrahim Osman did not need any: 7.78, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market24 Aug 2026

Burnley join the queue for Luis Vázquez

Add another name to the list: Burnley have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Luis Vázquez. The answer from Birmingham has not changed — yet.

Market24 Aug 2026

Burnley come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Birmingham did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

The Hull City deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Bright Osayi-Samuel reports back to Birmingham with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Birmingham

Ibrahim Osman was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Birmingham supporters have found a favourite in August Priske

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. August Priske has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match22 Aug 2026

Birmingham get the job done against Milton Keynes Dons

A 2‑0 win over Milton Keynes Dons, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Jhon Solís

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A fracture rules James Beadle out for 58 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Birmingham will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market17 Aug 2026

Birmingham turn down Nottingham Forest for Paik Seung-Ho

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market17 Aug 2026

Jack Robinson moves on

Sunderland pay $1.2M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Ibrahim Osman in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Birmingham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jack Holmes gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jack Holmes has just signed for Birmingham, and for once the answer mattered.

Market17 Aug 2026

Pescara watching Marvin Ducksch

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Birmingham have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Birmingham

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market17 Aug 2026

Birmingham promote Stephen Stewart from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Stephen Stewart has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jack Holmes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jack Holmes commits to Birmingham for another 3 years.

In brief

  • Boardroom Birmingham turn down the training-ground plan
  • The terraces Supporters make their feelings known about Luis Vázquez

Words at Birmingham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christoph Klarer is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
