How could Birmingham have a second runway? The last time I looked, the airport is surrounded by urban sprawl, unless they build a runway to the south, with a lengthy taxiway connection? And if they tried that you'd get a lot of objections from the local community, as the northern flight path would probably go over the community of Sheldon.

Maybe they should consider developing Coventry airport as a relief airport for Birmingham?
