The Athletic said 'Birmingham will be documentary on the process of winning promotion to the first division in the 2024-2025 season. According to Amazon, this project was designed by Tom Brady and Lilliance Sports co-founder Gotham Chopra, and the two are producing a documentary.

Birmingham defeated Peterborough United 2-1 in the 41st round of the 2024-2025 England League One (third division) at London Road Stadium in Peterborough, England, on the 9th. With the victory, Birmingham secured at least second place with 29 wins, eight draws and three losses and 95 points, and 17 points clear of third-place Wickham Wanderers (78 points), who played one more game.
Baek Seung-ho and Birmingham will return to the championship stage for the first time in a season immediately after relegation in the 2023-2024 season. Since joining Birmingham in January last year, Baek Seung-ho has had difficulty being demoted in half a season, but he has overcome it on his own in a season and has a chance to play in the championship again.
It has already set a milestone. Birmingham has won 39 games in all competitions this season, breaking the club's record of most wins in a season, exceeding 36 wins recorded in the 1994-1995 season with 37 wins against Bristol. This is the first milestone in 150 years since the beginning of Chadan in 1875. All future wins are set to be a new record for the club.
The first record in English league history can also be challenged. Birmingham, currently at a 113-point pace, may exceed Wolverhampton's 103-point mark in 2014. Depending on the future performance, Aston Villa's record of 32 wins, which is the record for the most wins in the third division, can be broken, so it can leave a name in English league history as well as club history.

Considering the difficult times we experienced in the championship last season, it can be seen as a tremendous achievement even considering that it is the third division. Last season, Birmingham faced relegation due to the wrong appointment of a manager. At the time, Birmingham made an unconventional decision to suddenly replace John Justus, who was leading the team well, and appoint Wayne Rooney. Prior to Rooney's appointment, Birmingham was ranked as sixth under Justus, who could compete for promotion to the EPL. However, after Rooney took office, his performance fell vertically and quickly fell to the relegation zone, and Rooney was dismissed from Birmingham after just 15 games. Birmingham could not avoid relegation despite Rooney's replacement, failing to rebound their performance.
But to overcome the crisis, Birmingham made an effort. I tried to catch Baek Seung-ho, a key player of the club. Despite receiving love calls from multiple championship clubs in the winter transfer market in January, Baek Seung-ho held Birmingham's hand and signed a contract until the summer of 2028. The result was a success. Baek Seung-ho, who played in 35 of the team's 40 League One games (32, 1 goal, 2 assists), was a key player in Birmingham and the main player of the promotion, establishing himself as a solid starting player under coach Chris Davis along with Tomoki Iwaka.
Evaluation continued to prove that Baek Seung-ho's value is not already at League 1 level. England's Birmingham Live gave Baek a seven-point rating and was ecstatic to see him drop his shoulder to avoid Russell in the second half. Few players in Ligue 1 history have had this talent. In short, he said, 'He shouldn't be here' and evaluated Baek Seung-ho as a player who is already above League 1.
Birmingham's time to return to the Championship after a season is documentary released. In the video, fans will also be able to see the efforts made by Baek Seung-ho and Birmingham.
