Wrexham ‘out to stop Birmingham’s title parade’ as Dan Scarr calls Blues’ situation ‘crazy’ following Tom Brady investment

Scarr joined Wrexham from Plymouth Argyle in the summer but has yet to make his League One debut for the club. Nevertheless, he has been keeping a close eye on Birmingham’s form; having been relegated last season, they have started the campaign with three wins and one draw from four games. They also have a big-name in the director’s box, with Tom Brady owning a share of the club, compared to Wrexham’s Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Scarr is a Birmingham fan and previously spent three years on the books at the club, although he only played one senior game. Nevertheless, he insists that he and his Wrexham team-mates are solely determined to stop their ascent towards promotion, even though the season remains young.

    Speaking to The Athletic, he said: “What’s been going on there is crazy.

    “Good for the city and, being a Birmingham City fan, it is great for them. The atmosphere will be electric and it’s a sellout. There’s also the bragging rights between the owners, both being American and stuff like that.

    “But we want to stop that (title-winning) parade. Everything else doesn’t matter.”
