Birmingham City's manager, Chris Davies, has hailed the team's record-breaking season in League One as a 'special' and 'remarkable' achievement. With a 2-0 victory over Blackpool, Birmingham secured 108 points, surpassing the previous record of 106 set by Reading in 2005. This historic feat was achieved with one game still to play, highlighting the team's dominance throughout the season.

A Season to Remember

Davies emphasized the significance of this record, stating, 'Think how many football teams there have been, how many seasons there have been, and we are the team to have got the most points in the history of English football.' He further added, 'To achieve 108 points is truly special and a remarkable achievement.'

Building a Legacy

The manager has been instrumental in instilling a sense of purpose and ambition within the squad. 'I had spoken to the players about the legacy we could leave this season and the mark we could make in the footballing world,' Davies noted. 'Everyone will know what we have done.'

Financial Backing and Strategic Spending

Birmingham's success is not solely attributed to their financial might but also to their strategic investments. The club spent £25 million after relegation from the Championship, including a record-breaking £10 million for top scorer Jay Stansfield. Former manager Steve Bruce commended the team's spending, stating, 'They've got a huge budget but they've spent it very well.'

The Road Ahead

Goalkeeper Ryan Allsop, a lifelong Birmingham fan, expressed his pride in the team's achievements. 'We've always gone out and left everything on the pitch. Credit to everyone involved - it's a massive thing, a big legacy and something we can remember forever,' Allsop said. He also highlighted the team's aspirations for the future, 'We obviously want more and more. This is the first stepping stone.'

Birmingham City's season has been a testament to their resilience, strategic planning, and unwavering ambition. As they look forward to their next challenge, their historic League One triumph will undoubtedly be remembered as a significant milestone in the club's history.
