“Why Not Wrexham?” – Ryan Reynolds’ Side Can Emulate Michael B. Jordan’s $145,000,00 Team’s Journey to Premier League, Phil Parksinson Says

Ever since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham, they have changed the landscape of the club. Be it an on-field sporting success or media coverage, the Red Dragons have seen an upward trend since the duo took over. They managed to qualify for League 2 last season, but Premier League is still a long way ahead. However, Wrexham coach Phil Parkinson is confident that they will reach the Premiere League level soon.

He first cited the extremely inspirational story of Michael B. Jordan-owned Bournemouth who were on the verge of going bankrupt, but turned things around under Eddie Howe and achieved promotion. The gaffer also lauded Blackpool for their efforts.

“Years ago Bournemouth, under Eddie Howe, were on the brink of going out of business, and got into the Premier League,” said Parkinson. “Blackpool have also got into the Premier League, so there’s lots of examples. So why not Wrexham?” asked the gaffer.

Michael B. Jordan shares the reason behind investing in Bournemouth

At the end of last year, Michael B. Jordan was announced as the minority owner of Dorset-based Premier League team Bournemouth. The Creed actor is miles away from the soccer world; hence his association naturally raised questions.

Earlier this year at The Graham Norton Show, the Black Panther actor was quipped about his decision to invest in Bournemouth. In reply, the actor simply said potential. “It is crazy and amazing. One reason I wanted to invest is that there was so much potential there,” he told viewers.

He continued: “If you give to the community, and you have new managers and new players, you can raise the culture of the team. It’s exciting.” It’s great to see more American celebrities invest in European soccer clubs, as this slowly builds American soccer culture. If things continue this way, it won’t be too far of a day when we see USMNT as favorites for the World Cup.
