Wrexham has blatantly turned down Birmingham City’s request to…..

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McIlhenney's financial influence at Wrexham laid bare  - Mirror Online

Despite being one of the most well-liked clubs in the country, Wrexham has turned down a novel request.

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have had a significant influence on Wrexham’s meteoric development in recent years.

Even though Wrexham was a non-league team during the National League era, the entrance of two well-known Hollywood celebrities has made the team globally famous.

While consecutive promotions undoubtedly contribute to the excitement, the success of the “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary series has undoubtedly had a major role.

Since the Wrexham story has been televised globally, admirers from all around the world are now traveling to the STōK Cae Ras.

Wrexham is a team that American fans like, and this summer, when Phil Parkinson’s team travels to the States for preseason games, they will get to see it once more.

Birmingham City’s appeal for Wrexham is denied
Viewers will like seeing Wrexham play in a friendly, but how about in a competitive match?

The idea of EFL games being held overseas has been more and more popular in recent months.

While Wrexham’s impact is undoubtedly significant in those discussions, few people actually anticipated that these kinds of games would occur very soon.

Birmingham City, though, has been attempting to make it happen.

The Daily Mail claims that Birmingham has requested permission from the EFL to play a League One match against Wrexham in the United States.

Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady is a minority investor in Birmingham, which is also owned by Americans.

This week, Wrexham will learn the League One schedule, and Birmingham looks to have tried an innovative switch.

Not surprisingly, though, the EFL has written that possibility out of the equation.

Birmingham is said to be “disappointed” that the EFL turned down their proposal, ostensibly because they thought that having a game played domestically would have raised the EFL’s prominence.

If Birmingham had prevailed, this would have been an absolutely historic occasion because no Premier League or EFL match has ever been played overseas.

Although it’s unknown if Wrexham was even in favor of the proposal, the majority of supporters would undoubtedly be against it.

The desire of Wrexham supporters to see games at the STōK Cae Ras is understandable, but moving games from Wales to the United States shouldn’t be planned anytime soon, despite the phenomenal growth in popularity of Wrexham.

It appears that American owners may now propose that EFL games be played in England, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil as a result of the NFL playing games there.

Although it won’t happen this season, we anticipate that the topic will come up again in the future.
