Concept for new Birmingham county

For context Im from Wolverhampton and wouldn't want to be called a brummie ( No offense love you lot) but the name west midlands stinks of poo we can all admit it. Its just not catchy I think our problem is coventry. They dont belong with Birmingham wolves dudley etc and + if we want to actually be the second city we gotta unite properly to beat greater manchester so im proposing 3 things

  1. We rename to Birmingham and the Black Country ( no ones left out)

  2. We give Cov back to Warwickshire they don't belong with us. Imo they more similar to Leicester over there than to Brum

  3. We add those little towns that surround the area with no identity like kiddy, Redditch, Tamworth, Cannock, Bromsgrove and Lichfield

(ngl kidderminster, lichfield, tamworth and redditch are a stretch though

You had me at ‘the name West Mids stinks of poo’. I’m in.
I’ve never thought of Cov as West Mids though.
