Wrexham and Birmingham City are making waves in the EFL as they welcome high-profile celebrity investors, including Tom Brady, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney. This increased presence of famous faces in British football boardrooms is bringing a renewed sense of excitement and attention to League One clubs, shaking up the traditional landscape of the league.

Wrexham’s co-owner Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that there were no talks about the team’s League One clash with Birmingham City being played in the United States, ensuring the match will take place in the UK as originally planned. This comes after reports suggested Birmingham’s American hierarchy had requested to host the game in the US, which would have been the first time a competitive English football match was played outside of Britain.

Newly appointed Birmingham City manager John Davies has hit the ground running, outlining his immediate plans to get the club back on track in EFL One. Davies is focused on building the right foundations both on and off the pitch, emphasizing the importance of recruitment, assembling a strong backroom team, and delivering an entertaining, high-energy playing style that will win games and reconnect with the passionate Birmingham City fanbase.
