Ryan Reynolds issues direct reply to angry Wrexham fan over prospect of facing Tom Brady's Birmingham in the USA after 'greedy' accusation

Birmingham City, who boast of having NFL legend Tom Brady on their board of investors, reportedly wanted to shift their high-profile League One clash of the 2024-25 season against Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's Red Dragons across the Atlantic. The Blues are eager to boost their brand in the U.S., however, the English Football League rejected the idea.

After the report emerged of the possibility of hosting the fixture outside England, an angry Wrexham fan took to X to remind their owners of the 'guiding principles' they laid down before acquiring the Welsh club. He even went on to accuse them of being 'greedy' as he wrote on the social media platform: "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 Deadpool star has now issued a direct response to the fan's accusation as he wrote under his X post: "I agree. And that’s why there have been no talks."

The newly promoted League One side are set to regroup next month and will travel to the US to conduct their pre-season. They are scheduled to face Premier League sides like Bournemouth and Chelsea, alongside MLS club the Vancouver Whitecaps.
