Birmingham were relegated to League One a month earlier after circling the drain for a while. “When you hear something like that, it’s powerful because you think: ‘Wow, there are 92 teams,’” Davies says. “Everyone has suffered so much I suppose I saw an opportunity to change that and this season we’ve won more games than any other team in the country.”Talk about a turnaround.
