Wrexham AFC's Hollywood owners have once again proven their mastery of social media banter, this time targeting newly-relegated Southampton in a hilarious Championship welcome post.
The Welsh club, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, shared a brilliant tweet welcoming the Saints to England's second tier after their Premier League relegation. The post featured a mock tourism-style video with the caption: "Welcome to the Championship, @SouthamptonFC."
From Hollywood to Football Banter
Reynolds and McElhenney, who bought Wrexham in 2020, have transformed the club both on and off the pitch. Their latest social media dig continues their tradition of witty online interactions with other clubs.
The video cleverly parodies travel advertisements, showcasing the less glamorous aspects of Championship football compared to the Premier League's bright lights.
Social Media Reacts
Football fans were quick to praise Wrexham's latest dig:
- "This is absolute gold from Wrexham"
- "The Championship banter is already elite"
- "Ryan Reynolds' influence is showing"
Southampton will face Wrexham twice in the upcoming Championship season, with the first meeting scheduled for November at St Mary's Stadium.
Wrexham's Rise Continues
The Red Dragons secured back-to-back promotions under their Hollywood ownership, moving from the National League to League Two and now the Championship in consecutive seasons.
Their social media presence has become almost as famous as their on-pitch performances, with the club amassing over 1.5 million followers across platforms.
As the new Championship season approaches, one thing is certain: Wrexham will continue bringing their unique brand of entertainment both on the pitch and online.
