Be more like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney! Tom Brady warned not to replicate hated Man Utd owners following Birmingham City takeover

Speaking to finance group<a href="https://stocklytics.com/" target="_blank"> Stocklytics,</a> ex-Wrexham and Chelsea defender Frank Sinclair warned the New England Patriots legend, who recently joined the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/jj-watt-burnley-tom-brady-birmingham-seven-time-super-bowl-winner-nfl-icon-minority-owner/bltd27e19056296bc75" target="_blank">ownership group with Birmingham City.</a>Brady has since hired ex-Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney as boss of the club, and things are not off to a great start. Since Rooney's arrival, they've fallen to to relegation contenders. Now, the American has a big few months ahead of him with the January transfer window looming.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The former Blues defender said: "The obvious risks are seen when looking at what the Glazers have done to Manchester United. We don’t want that side of business being done in English football, whether that’s the Premier League or the lower leagues. We want genuine people to be coming into football clubs and not for them to be coming into a football club and drain it of all the assets that it has got or use it as a business that purely benefits themselves and not the fans and players. That’s the main danger."“As I said, we’ve not seen any signs of that coming out of Wrexham. It seems genuine, it seems authentic as well. So, you’ve just got to hope that the likes of Birmingham City are going to try and replicate what Wrexham are doing but at their level and not what Man United are doing.”

WHAT SINCLAIR SAID

Brady is the latest celebrity to takeover an English football club, following in the footsteps of McElhenney and Reynolds. In the U.S. however, celebrities and athletes investing in clubs is becoming more and more common, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/nba-kevin-durant-nwsl-final-gotham-fc/blt7a892ad325f2f29a" target="_blank">NBA superstar Kevin Durant</a> being the latest to post on social media about it.For Brady though, Sinclair asks him to avoid the mistakes of the Glazers, and to focus on the success of the Wrexham duo, instead.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Blues are back in action Saturday against Sheffield Wednesday as they look to get their campaign back on track. They're winless in their last five matches and sit 18th in the Championship, with new manager Rooney already on the hot seat less than a month into his tenure with the organization.
