Ryan Reynolds recently touched down in the UK to cheer on Wrexham as they faced off against QPR. Unfortunately, the day didn’t go quite as planned, with the team suffering a 3-1 defeat. As Wrexham slips to 21st place in the Championship, fans had their eyes peeled on the mix of celebrities in the stands. Joining Reynolds was none other than Colin Hanks and, surprisingly, ex-Man Utd star Phil Jones.
Jones, who is currently coaching Man Utd Under-18s, sparked plenty of speculation about his unexpected VIP status. Could Reynolds be eyeing him for a coaching role at Wrexham? Amidst the buzz, the fixture’s outcome has added fuel to the fire regarding the pressure on manager Phil Parkinson. Despite a summer splurge of £33 million on new talent, results haven’t quite hit the mark yet. The club’s hefty investment saw thirteen new players, but only five made the starting lineup against QPR, while a handful remained on the bench.
Rumours have already started swirling about Parkinson’s future with the club. Yet, it’s still early days, and Reynolds, along with co-owner Rob McElhenney, might still have faith in their manager. After all, turning the ship around is no small feat, especially after three consecutive promotions.
The team is in urgent need of bolstering their defences, having conceded eight goals in three home matches. With a single point from these games, the Dragons and their Hollywood boss are hoping for a swift turnaround. Could Reynolds and his glamorous associates bring some extra sparkle to Wrexham’s campaign? We’ll have to wait and see!
