Formula 1 legend Eddie Jordan has slammed a "ridiculous" and "preposterous" investment into racing team Alpine which includes Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Wrexham co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney are part of a group which will take up a 24 per cent equity stake Alpine. The British-based French team, whose parent company is Renault, announced on Monday that the pair of Hollywood-turned-football stars will join forces with Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners in a huge €200million (£171m) deal.
Jordan isn't convinced about the investment, though, expressing deep scepticism to GB News. "I don't believe it," the Irish icon remarked. "First of all, I won't use the word fake news, but I mean, there's absolutely no way from an accounting point of view - the financial model doesn't stack up. That's number one.
