Football

Swansea City chief executive Tom Gorringe has expressed dissatisfaction with the television broadcast of the club's Championship defeat.

Swansea City chief executive Tom Gorringe criticised the television coverage of the club's recent Championship loss at Wrexham. The executive raised concerns regarding the impartiality of the broadcast after Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney featured as guest commentators during the match. Gorringe stated the production felt like a club-specific broadcast rather than neutral coverage for a league fixture, according to Sky Sports.

Swansea lost the match 1-0 at the Racecourse Ground. The chief executive suggested that the presence of the opposing club's owners in the commentary booth compromised the objectivity of the presentation. Gorringe confirmed the club intends to raise the matter with the relevant broadcast authorities and the English Football League, per reports from The Guardian. The club expressed disappointment that the coverage focused heavily on the home side's narrative. Wrexham secured the victory through a second-half goal, moving them further up the Championship table while Swansea remain in the bottom half of the division.
