Wrexham AFC co-owner Rob McElhenney has heaped praise on Birmingham City following their 3-1 victory over the Welsh club in the EFL League One. Despite the loss, McElhenney acknowledged Birmingham’s dominance and sent a message of respect to the club’s co-owner, NFL legend Tom Brady.
The match, which took place at St Andrew’s Stadium, was a highly anticipated clash between two of the league’s most popular teams. Wrexham, who have garnered significant attention thanks to their ownership by McElhenney and fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, entered the match with high hopes.
However, Birmingham proved to be too strong on the day. Goals from Jay Stansfield and Tomoki Iwata secured the win for the Blues, despite an early goal from Wrexham’s Paul Mullin.
After the match, McElhenney took to social media to express his admiration for Birmingham’s performance. He wrote, “One hell of a side. Congrats to @bcfc and @tombrady on the win. Lots of season yet to go. #UpTheTown.”
McElhenney’s message was a clear acknowledgment of Birmingham’s superiority on the day. He praised the team’s quality and tactical approach, and also sent a message of respect to Brady, who has been a vocal supporter of the club since investing in it last year.
The defeat for Wrexham was a setback in their quest for promotion to the Championship. However, McElhenney and Reynolds have remained optimistic about the club’s prospects. They have invested heavily in the team and have brought in a number of talented players.
The match between Wrexham and Birmingham was a reminder of the competitive nature of League One. The two teams are expected to be among the favorites for promotion this season, and their rivalry is likely to continue for years to come.
McElhenney’s message of respect for Birmingham is a testament to his sportsmanship and his commitment to the game. It is also a reminder that even in the face of defeat, it is important to acknowledge the achievements of one’s opponents.
