History of Birmingham Team Development:
In 1970s and 1980s, Birmingham fluctuated between Grade A and Grade B, and was downgraded and upgraded several times. From 1986 to 2002, Birmingham City entered a dark period in the history of the club. 1985/86 was relegated from the top league, and two years later it was relegated to the first league in history. Although the club did its best under the leadership of head coach Francis, it lost to Watford, Badsley and Preston in three promotion play-offs.
Birmingham returned to the first class in199192, but unfortunately fell to the second class (third class) in 1993/94. In the following years, Birmingham returned to the first division and tried to return to the Premier League, but failed. In the 200102 season, former legendary Manchester United defender Steve Bruce took over the command of Birmingham City, and the team's performance rose steadily. In May, 2002, he beat Norwich on penalties in the promotion play-off, and finally realized the team's wish to be promoted to the Premier League.
