Brian Flynn: Former boss returns to Wrexham as assistant

Former Wrexham manager Brian Flynn has returned to the Racecourse as assistant to current boss Bryan Hughes.

Hughes, Wrexham's third permanent boss this season, has steered the Dragons to the top of the National League table.

"I am delighted to return and support Bryan at a club that is very special to me," Flynn told Wrexham's website.

"I feel like I've some unfinished business at the club and would love nothing better than to help the club back to the Football League."

"Getting in the right management support at this time of the season was a critical early decision for me and Brian was always my number one choice," Hughes said of the appointment.

"He knows me and the club inside out and can come in and hit the ground running. I am delighted that he has accepted my offer to come back to Wrexham where he enjoyed so much success in building the club."

Flynn, who managed Wrexham from 1989 to 2001, has most recently been working a scout for Swansea City.

Brian Tyree Henry Wants to Know Why ‘They Cloned Tyrone’

Brian Tyree Henry, a great actor who deserves to be in all the movies all the time, is set to star in in the thriller They Cloned Tyrone. Juel Taylor, who wrote Creed II, will direct the film, which involves characters mixed up in a government conspiracy that involves – I assume – cloning, and also someone named Tyrone. The project is hot right now, and was won by Macro in a bidding war.

Variety broke the news about Brian Tyree Henry joining They Cloned Tyrone. If you somehow don’t know who Henry is at this point, that’s bound to change. The actor has turned in incredibly memorable performances on the FX series Atlanta, and the recent films Widows and If Beale Street Could Talk. His part in Beale Street is brief – he’s only in one scene, actually. And yet, that scene resonates through the entire film due to the actor’s emotionally devastating performance. In short, he’s the real deal. And he’s also going to be in the Child’s Play remake, so there’s that!

“A lot of people keep saying that I’m having a moment,” Henry told The Guardian, “and I’m really tired of hearing that. Because ‘moment’ to me is a whisper. It goes like that. A moment drops in and then it’s out. I want something that is going to be so solid and stick for the longest time.”

Per Variety, They Cloned Tyrone “follows a series of eerie events that thrust an unlikely trio onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy in a pulpy mystery caper.” That sounds fun – I’m always up for some pulp. Based on the title, and that synopsis, I’m guessing this film is going for some sort of comedic angle, but I could be wrong. In truth, there’s not much to go on here – just the title and Henry’s casting. Is that enough to get you excited about whatever this film is? It should! Creed II writer Juel Taylor will make his feature directorial debut with the film, and he’ll co-write the script with Tony Rettenmaier.

In addition to the upcoming Child’s Play remake, Henry will also be seen in Superintelligence and Woman in the Window. He’s also in the middle of shooting Godzilla vs. Kong, so he’s a busy guy – and rightfully so. There’s no release date set for They Cloned Tyrone yet, but I’m guessing it won’t be out for a while, what with Henry’s busy schedule and all.
