co-owner has hit back at claims that his club could face in the USA next season. It was that Birmingham had asked whether they could move their fixture against Wrexham stateside next season in what would be a huge move for English football. The EFL quickly dismissed the idea, however, and now star Reynolds has responded to one disgruntled fan on who pressed the Deadpool actor over the proposed plans.
One Wrexham fan, concerned by the reports, took to X to ask Reynolds himself about the news. Quoting a set of "guiding principles', that were set out by Reynolds and co-chief when they purchased the club in 2020, the fan put his query to Reynolds. "Goes against every single one of the 'guiding principles' you stated publicly before even buying the club.
Let’s not start getting too greedy and breaking promises @VancityReynolds @RMcElhenney," the post aimed at Reynolds said. The actor was then quick to respond to the claims and immediately shut down the story saying: "I agree. And that’s why there have been no talks".
Pre-season games taking place in the US are commonplace but league fixtures are another matter entirely. The EFL subsequently turned down the request from Birmingham, which would have seen the two sides face each other across the pond. Had the suggested American-based game taken place, it would have been the first competitive English fixture taken outside of England or Wales.
Reynolds had already hinted that he would not be a fan of taking Wrexham away to the Unit.
