Swansea City CEO, Tom Gorringe, isn’t holding back! The Swans boss has slammed Sky Sports for their biased coverage during the recent game against Wrexham, claiming it heavily favoured Wrexham and their celeb owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. While the Hollywood duo added their charm in the commentary box, Swansea felt overshadowed, with little mention of their presence on the field.
Gorringe expressed his disappointment, noting that the build-up and coverage seemed to centre solely around the home side. Sky even used Rob and Ryan’s own production company, focusing only on Wrexham’s win and celebrations, leaving Swansea feeling like a mere afterthought.
The CEO has called for more impartiality in showcasing EFL matches, emphasising that the focus should be on both teams playing, not just the one with the Hollywood appeal. He plans to discuss these concerns with the EFL soon, hoping for a more balanced approach in future broadcasts.
On the field, Wrexham celebrated a 2-0 victory, but the Swans reckon the off-field drama stole the spotlight. As Swansea gear up for their next game against Coventry City, it’s clear they’re hoping for a more balanced narrative. What do you think, was Sky too focused on Wrexham’s star power?
