He joins Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who are in charge of Wrexham, and former NFL great Tom Brady at Birmingham.
Here, the PA news agency take a look at the battle of the high-profile owners in English football’s second tier.
Welcome to Wrexham
Hollywood A-listers Reynolds and McElhenney bought Welsh club Wrexham in 2020 and have turned them into a global brand, partly due to the accompanying documentary.
The actors have taken a firm interest in the club, which has gone from the National League to the second tier with three successive promotions. Wrexham will be eyeing a fourth this term.
Brady’s Blues
Birmingham’s journey under an American consortium, which includes seven-times Super Bowl champion Brady, who owns a minority stake, has not been such plain sailing as they were relegated to the third tier shortly after the takeover.
But they bounced back in record-breaking fashion, winning promotion to the Championship with a world-record 111 points last term, and they will also be eyeing a place in the Premier League.

American rapper Snoop Dogg’s arrival completes a summer of change at the Welsh club Swansea, who were bought out by a consortium, including former Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric.
Snoop Dogg has joined the party, citing an allegiance with the club’s working-class roots, and he intends to help the Swans take the crown of top dogs in Wales.
