Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are setting a massive example with Wrexham AFC. Their ownership is garnering significant attention from fans around the globe. However, fans are not the only ones whose attention is caught by the Welsh club. A famous English host has now got into the act by sending a warning to Wrexham and its infamous owners.

Reynolds and McElhenney have made an enormous impact in the soccer world ever since the Wrexham takeover. Notably, when these two took over Wrexham, it was a fifth-tier club. But their ambition and visionary ownership have helped The Red Dragons get promoted to League Two.

Now, Jeremy Clarkson, the renowned English broadcaster has sent a warning to the world’s third-oldest club to grab some attention for his franchise.

Jeremy Clarkson warns the Wrexham owners!

The former Top Gear presenter has warned the Red Dragons that they are in his sights. He took to Twitter to send the warning. Clarkson wrote“Ok Wrexham. @ChadlingtonFC is coming for you.” The broadcasting icon sponsors the Chadlington FC club, his local team, since November 2021. The Oxfordshire-based clubs don the tractor logo from Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm on their jersey.

The tweet by the former Top Gear presenter could be an attempt to enhance the profile of his soccer venture. Chadlington FC is a non-league soccer club and plays in Witney and District Division One. Clarkson is a long-term Chelsea fan, with the Londoners set to take on Wrexham in the preseason on the US tour.
