They retained their First Division status, finishing in 18th position in the 22-team division. They did not take part in the 1921–22 FA Cup. Secretary-manager Frank Richards failed to submit their entry form in time to be granted exemption from qualifying, and the Football Association refused to bend the rules in their favour. Although that decision did not preclude their entering the competition in the qualifying rounds, the directors chose not to do so.Matthews (1995), Complete Record, p. 164."Association Football: The qualifying rounds of the Cup competition". Manchester Guardian. 23 April 1921. p. 11. "Birmingham not to play for English Cup next year". Evening Telegraph (Dundee). 27 April 1921. p. 7.
