After he purchasing a part of Ipswich Town F.C., Ed Sheeran has called out Ryan Reynolds, the co-owner of Wrexham.
On August 15, Sheeran announced the acquisition. However, he clarified that despite the move, he is “not a voting shareholder or board member.” The acquisition was done to give money to the club that he supports. In turn, he asks that fans don't “get onto me with signing suggestions or tactics.”

He took to Instagram to announce the news. “Really excited to announce that I have bought a small percentage of my hometown football club @ipswichtown,” his post began. “It's any football fan's dream to be an owner [of] the club they support, and I feel so grateful for the opportunity.
“I've lived in Suffolk since I was 3, and although I have traveled the world and sometimes feel like an outsider in big cities, Suffolk and Ipswich have always made me feel part of a community and protected. It's such a joy to be a fan of Ipswich Town. There are ups and downs, but football is about taking the highs with the lows,” he added.
This is not the first soccer-related move Sheeran has made. He wrote “A Beautiful Game” for Ted Lasso.
After making the announcement, Ed Sheeran jokingly poked fun at Ryan Reynolds. On his Instagram Story, Sheeran shared the video announcement and wrote “@vancityreynolds come and get it bruv” over it.
Ipswich Town F.C. is based out of Ipswich, Suffolk, England. They are a part of the Premier League and were founded over a century ago.
