'I'm really glad I got to spend time with you,' wrote Reynolds, who completed his takeover of the club with McElhenney in 2021.
'Thanks for the stories. Condolences to his family, friends and Mickey (Thomas, Jones' close friend and former Wrexham team-mate). Rest up, Joey. Big second half coming up.'
Jones, who was capped 72 times by Wales, began his career with Wrexham in 1973 before moving to Liverpool, where he won two European Cups and a league title, two years later.
He returned to play at the Racecourse Ground between 1978 and 1982 and then ended his career with the club – from 1987 to 1992 – following stints with Chelsea and Huddersfield.

Coast Guard begins salvage operation and investigates cause of boat collision that killed two girls
The U.S. Coast Guard was beginning a salvage operation on Tuesday while investigating the cause of a boat collision near Miami that left two girls dead, officials said. Capt. Frank Florio, commander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Miami, assured the victims' family members during a news conference that the Coast Guard and its partners would do everything in their power to learn what caused the crash. 'We owe you answers, and we are committed to finding them," Florio said. Officials didn't immediately identify any of the victims or release a cause for the crash. The collision between a barge and a sailboat occurred around 11 a.m. Monday in Biscayne Bay, between Miami and Miami Beach. All six people on the sailboat, a teenage sailing camp counselor and five children, ended up in the water. They were in their last week of a camp for children aged 7 to 15, according to the Miami Yacht Club. All six were pulled from the water, and four were rushed to a Miami hospital, officials said. A 7-year-old girl and a 13-year-old girl were pronounced dead shortly after arriving, while two other girls, ages 8 and 11, remained in critical condition Tuesday. A 19-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl were rescued but not hospitalized. Local media and prominent TV personalities in Argentina identified the 7-year-old girl killed in the boating crash as Mila Yankelevich, the daughter of director Tomas Yankelevich and actress Sofia Reca and granddaughter of the prominent Argentine television producers Gustavo Yankelevich and Cris Morena. Marcelo Tinelli, a popular TV host and friend of the family, posted on X that he was 'devastated' by Mila's death. 'I can't believe it,' he wrote. 'My immense love to the entire family, who are part of my life.' Actor and presenter Nicolás Vázquez, currently starring in the musical 'Rocky' produced by Gustavo Yankelevich, expressed his heartbreak on Instagram. 'Mila's passing is one of those tragedies that hurts to the soul,' he wrote. Addressing Yankelevich he added: 'Even if we are not blood relatives, what we feel makes us brothers.' Across the U.S. last year, there were over 550 deaths in recreational boating, but only a sliver of those — 43 — were caused by vessels crashing into each other, according to Coast Guard statistics.

Viewers outraged at Bonnie Blue claiming she is a ‘community worker' as she sleeps with 1,000 men in explosive new doc
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VIEWERS have been left outraged at Bonnie Blue after she claimed she was a "community worker" while sleeping with 1,000 men in a new documentary. Her brazen antics were laid bare in her new fly-on-the-wall Channel 4 documentary, 1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. 6 Bonnie Blue left viewers outraged in her new documentary Credit: Channel 4 6 She was blasted by viewers for trying to 'normalise the behaviour' Credit: Instagram/@bonnie_blue_xox 6 Her actions have been branded 'disgusting' and 'disgraceful' Credit: Channel 4 6 Bonnie's stunt even saw her banned from OnlyFans Credit: Channel 4 The shocking documentary revealed behind-the-scenes footage for Bonnie Blue's successful challenge where she aimed to sleep with 1,000 men in 12 hours. She ended the challenge having had sex with 1057 men, topping Lily Phillips' 100 men record. But viewers were left outraged after Bonnie - real name Tia Billinger - referred to herself as a "community worker". One said it was "disgusting" while another said on X that the whole documentary was a "disgrace". Many others took offence to her comment that her sex acts were a "community service". Angry viewers blasted her for "trying to normalise this behaviour" by influencing "impressionable" teenagers. Hundreds of users also expressed their disdain that the documentary was even being aired on TV. One wrote: "Why the hell is Channel 4 showing a documentary about Bonnie Blue....1000 Men & Me." Another commented: "This #bonnieblue documentary is absolutely depressing. "She could have had a dance career. I feel like I'm losing my mind watching this." Bonnie's shock claim to fame - bedding over 1,000 men in 12 hours - and filming sex content with 'barely legal' students saw her accused of 'setting women back 100 years'. OnlyFans started banning the content she was uploading with "non-professionals" or in other words people are not already content creators. Having been banned from OnlyFans a few months before, she has just switched to using Fansly: a similar adult content website. Bonnie has even been branded as dangerous for women as toxic masculinity influencer Andrew Tate, not least for referring to herself as a 'slut'. 'I've got no idea how it's going to go… he's probably just as controversial as I am,' she says. 'People either love him or hate him, he's a marketing genius.' 6 Bonnie talking to her mum in the documentary Credit: Channel 4

Maroon 5 star Adam Levine SUED over Instagram post urging fans to give hurricane relief donations
Adam Levine is facing a federal lawsuit over an Instagram post he shared in 2019 urging support for Hurricane Dorian victims. According to court documents, obtained by Billboard, filed earlier this week, the Maroon 5 frontman, 46, allegedly included copyrighted video footage of storm damage in the Bahamas without permission from the owner. The lawsuit, brought by Global Weather Productions LLC, claims Levine used footage taken in the Abacos Islands, one of the hardest-hit areas during the storm, without securing a proper license. The video was originally published on September 3, 2019, by 'professional storm chaser' Michael Brandon Clement and, according to the lawsuit, is owned by Global Weather Productions, a licensing company that has filed multiple similar suits in recent years. Levine allegedly shared the video three days later in a September 6, 2019, Instagram post, which highlighted the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and Carolinas. He also urged his followers to donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. But Global Weather Productions says the charitable intent doesn't excuse what it views as a clear case of copyright infringement. 'As a musician and author, defendant has significant experience in copyright matters and is familiar with specific practices including the need to ensure that content used in his posts has been properly licensed,' the lawsuit states. 'As a content creator himself, defendant should be particularly sensitive to the unauthorized use of his works.' The company says it made several attempts earlier this year to contact Levine's team in order to resolve the issue outside of court. According to the complaint, Global Weather Productions reached out in April and followed up again in May, but reportedly never received a response. 'Despite plaintiff's efforts and willingness to address defendant's infringing activity, defendant failed to respond, and plaintiff was forced to seek judicial intervention for defendant's infringing activity,' the suit claims. Now, the company is seeking damages that could total up to $150,000 under federal copyright law. Global Weather Productions has filed dozens of similar lawsuits since 2023, targeting both major media outlets, including Reuters, Univision, and NewsNation and public figures such as model Molly Sims. As of now, Levine has not publicly responded to the lawsuit. Daily Mail has reached out to Levine's representatives, but they have not yet responded. In addition to trying to help raise funds for Hurricane Dorian victims, Levine has been involved in various charitable endeavors from supporting youth mental health to U.S. education programs. Earlier this month, he celebrated his 11th wedding anniversary with wife Behati Prinsloo. The couple share two daughters, Dusty Rose and Gio Grace, six, as well as a two-year-old son, whose name has not been publicly revealed.
