They played in the second tier of the English football system, the Football League Second Division. The team finished in 12th place after a poor run of form at the end of the season brought only two victories from the final fifteen matches. This was the first season – of an eventual seventeen – for the club under the ownership of Sir Jack Hayward, who had purchased it in May 1990 for £2.1 million.Rich List Profiles: Sir Jack Hayward http://www.birminghampost.net/birmingham-business/richlist/profiles2011/2011/01/23/38-34-sir-jack-hayward-120million-130m-65233-28031766/ Birmingham Post 23 January 2011 7 June 2013 2 May 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120502161122/http://www.birminghampost.net/birmingham-business/richlist/profiles2011/2011/01/23/38-34-sir-jack-hayward-120million-130m-65233-28031766/ dead Results Football League Second Division 1990–91 Football League A total of 24 teams competed in the Football League Second Division in the 1990–91 season.
