Wrexham Owners Reference 'Spygate' Ahead of Southampton Clash
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney allude to a past scouting controversy as their side prepares to face Southampton in the Championship.
Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have made a reference to a so-called "Spygate" incident ahead of their side's Championship fixture against Southampton this weekend, according to BBC Sport.
The comment comes as the two clubs prepare to meet in the English second tier, with Wrexham having risen through the football pyramid since Reynolds and McElhenney took ownership of the Welsh club in 2021.
BBC Sport did not provide further detail in the excerpt on the specific nature of the remarks or the context behind the "Spygate" reference. The report characterised the comment as a dig aimed at Southampton in the build-up to the match.
