Wrexham fan here, no one who supports the town thinks we are anywhere near as big a club as Leeds or any number of other big clubs outside the Prem ( the list is a long one). We could be as big as Bournmouth or Brentford if we were very lucky but just being back in the league with great owners is a dream compared to the 16 years in Non league we just had.

@pentre21 Brentford fan here, nicely written. The truth is I think you possibly already are bigger than us (although most wouldn't admit it). In the EPL we get 17k each week but a lot of those are now daytrippers and fairweather fans that would disappear if we went down. When we go back to the Championship we'll get between 13-16k for games i'd have thought, and last time I checked yous were almost at 13k already. It's not all about attendances at all, look at Bradford for instance, but there's a clear demand and a higher ceiling than we've got. Wrexham is a huge opportunity and the Hollywood brothers didn't randomly pick the club, everyone who knows anything about Football knows that part of the world could have a very well supported, well run Wrexham. I went to the racecourse about 18 years ago when was played you away, always a great place to visit. Keeping a close eye on yous.

Rob and Ryan have definetly raised the profile of the EFL and welcome to Wrexham doc has also raised the profile of the EFL internationally. The popularity of the EFL was happening before Rob and Ryan took over, look at attendences of clubs like Stockport or even Salford over the years have had successes in their own right. The fact that Rob and Ryan also choose a random club in the national league at the time was quite the story as people were pretty much asking why. The documentary really gave an insight to the national league and EFL.

Jordan "I'm not like the British people that like to bring people down, I like to praise people for what they actually do rather than give them more credit that they are entitled to". Really, Simon?

Jordan doesnt appeciate the full benefits of Rob and Ryan.s ownership philosophy and how their unique formula has uplifted not just the football team but also Wrexham and Wales

The reason why he said a million quid was a threat was because they are trying to make the club be self-sustaining, it was job one in their mission statement.

that's it? where's the full video?

Speaking of Simon being in a movie I think he’d make an amazing Shere Khan in Jungle Book!!

Ryan Reynolds is a billionaire, as well as movies he sold aviation gin for 450 million and owns mint mobile.

When it gets expensive….the owners have already said….they will need more investment..and I think they already know where it will be coming from….

I agree with Simon--if i could just watch EFL on my tv i would be good. From PA USA Gave up on the PL.

There is no way Simon believes what he says? Its all click bait and sound bites... Go on Rob and Ryan keep up the good work 👍

Watching live football adds another level of fan appeal which increases viewership.

Exactly, without the Netflix show it would be a an interesting story that Ryan Reynolds owns this football club in the lower leagues but you wouldn't pay it anymore attention than that... plenty of clubs have rich celebrity owners and don't get half the attention. People, like me here in Scotland, watch the show and then start supporting them as a secondary team because you want to see them succeed.

For a man who had to sell his club for peanuts he has a lot of hate towards other owners or people doing OK. Simon is rhe biggest hater going. He sometimes ... sometimes talks sense but others just talks with envy in his eyes. He love Palace to have fans around the world instead of just south London

ryan reynolds was not making it say that the million was going to harm the club as they could afford it but they wanted to get the club to be self sufficient and it was costing a million pounds a season more than the club was making at that time which was a threat to the club being self sufficient

The true test of leadership is failure. When the next poor performing season comes along we will see how the owners navigate things. The results speak for themselves, but honestly I'm more impressed with what they're doing with the town proper and wondering if they will turn everything into a self sustaining ecosystem as they've described. They said they wanted the club/town to thrive even when their names are no longer attached to it and I for one believe them. Maybe that day won't even come to pass, but when it does I'll be looking to see how the following year affects the town.

Simon is a very intelligent man but comes across as very jealous of anyone aspiring to success in the football world He’s very bitter over his failure at Palace and always blames the banking crisis but anyone who wishes to research knows the real reason

The million dollar loss on not gaining promotion in the first year Jordan mentions wasn't ever presented as an existential threat. It was only considered a step back as the team's salary cap is determined by its gross revenue - which obviously will be lower in the National League - and therefore impede their plans to build the team. In so far as staying power to financially back Wrexham into the upper divisions of the EFL Ryan Reynolds has sufficient clout to continue at least into the Championship. Rob McElhenney, on the other hand, will logically have to tap out at that point. Of course in five years both may have made still more money which they're willing to commit. P.S. Owning a professional sports team is Rob's lifelong dream. I'm sure he's prepared to invest well in excess of what would be a prudent investment for an investor of his wealth.

I mean there’s a reason why Leeds are on sky so much… we pull in numbers. People from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Ireland come to watch us on a Tuesday night, never mind the ones that are watching at home on dodgy sites.

Love the fact Sunderland arent mentioned despite gaving by far the biggest fanbase in the EFL

Jealously is a better word

See if Simon was a politician I’d hate him but as a Radio Pundit I actually think he does a top job, I don’t always agree with him but I often see his point.

Not a chance, been to multiple countries around the world, always see Leeds tops/flags never once seen a wrexham one thats crazy talk

dunno who they are but hey deadpool all day long bro im kidding haha ;)

They're nowhere near the global size of Leeds United.

What I’d say to quell the strong feelings is that those Americans who are now introduced to the EFL system should go one further and find a team you actually like, for one - most Americans have English ancestry of some kind and you could absolutely find a team based on that. There’s a million ways to get addicted to a team’s story and most teams lores are variations on ‘glittering heights in the past now hoping for a rise back up’. Take my team, Ipswich Town FC, 22 years out of the prem and now, at last, with back to back promotions we are BACK! That’s a story for the ages and one that I see many people getting behind. I study in Ireland and plenty of people in my class are now moving into casual fandom of ITFC because I’m passionate about them. Pick a team with an ethos, or a story or even just a colour that you like, and go all in. It’ll feel better and will be better for the EFL if the love is spread rather than hoarded on one team.

Jordan is a WACK, Rob McElhenney is MAC It's always sunny in Philadelphia rocks

Leeds sell the 17th most football shirts in the World after spending over 20 years outside the top flight. Wrexham do not have a bigger global following than Leeds United. Come off it.

globally, if we being realistically, they probly are, new viewers join the internet every day, and they will see wrexham before they even know leeds and leicester are a club. they just have a much bigger platform to carry their club then the "traditional" clubs.

I think you'll get a regulator to force EPL to split revenue and the result will be they flat break off or they abide by it but other leagues in other countries will then pay more for players and will then be the foremost league. I get wanting to spread money around but a large part of me knows the money is in the epl because people want to watch like the top 6 or 7 teams on tv not the entire league pyramid. Like in my country there is a massive drop off outside of top 6 teams. There's growth in interest in but i would not say there is a massive interest in efl games at all. Not relative to major sports here or even some minor ones.

Interest in an actor doesnt translate to people being into football....It probably just attracts people with the wrong motivations.

Be interesting to see what Simon Jordan has to say at the end of the 2024/2025 season.

Hard to criticize anyone or anything that helps these clubs financially. A salary cap should be implemented in all leagues.

How dare he refer to Ronald the Rat that way!

The owners association with the group that tried to by the NHL club will prove very valuable when they want this club to rise. The sky is the limit with Wrexham.

Simon sits in front of data streams figuring out what statement he makes will give his channel most engagement, its business for him straight up. Which is why he failed at ownership, because it was the first time he allowed his heart to be involved.

He never said it was an existential threat, he said that the goal is to make Wrexham sustainable. It's common sense that pumping an infinite amount of money in the club is not sustainable and the club needs to break even to maintain its success. I guess common sense isn't that common..

You’re crazy.

I apologize to my British friends here for not knowing who this dude is, but does he not understand how a business works? Rob and Ryan can not run a business like an endless printing press; that is unsustainable. It has to function as a business that creates its own capital and performs as its own entity, so thinking he made a lot of money selling his phone company and liquor business means he is just going to divest himself of that isn't logical. So, getting to the next promotion provides a new entry of capital to the club, which allows them to say, let's invest more money into the club. Does this guy understand that the reach outside of Wales and the rest of the UK is the only way they will have that capital to compete later on if and when they move up? This gentleman is near-sighted in his analysis of how these things work. Forgive me if I am missing the market as to how things work in this format, but

Is he kidding us; Im a greek leeds fan and there are tons of leeds fans even in my country, get a grip guys!!

Sky is archaic on demand any game anytime is the modern deals :)

Wrwzham will sokn find out simply buying players to win ganes is not gonna work when be reaches the champonship. Your gonna need an actually manager.

How many views do you think this video would have if it didn’t have Wrexham in the title? It’s not just the football club that’s getting an international bump because of what Rob and Ryan have done in Wrexham. And on the other point, they’ve always said that outside investment will be necessary when the team gets promoted to the Championship. The whole “not getting promoted will ruin the club” line in the documentary was a bit of Hollywood there to up the tension in the storyline. Those of us that follow the club and its financials know the how things are looking.

They’ll do what most clubs do and hit the brick wall when they reach about league 1

Not a chance Wrexham have a bigger global following than Leeds, not having that one bit! Buzzing for Wrexham like but let’s not carried away shall we. Massive difference between people watching a documentary and actually following a club.

His argument is odd, saying that because Rob and Ryan said a million was a lot to spend yearly when they were in the National League and clearly losing money doing so, that doesn't mean they can't afford $10 million if they were in higher league. Those leagues would give more money in broadcasting, ticket sales, merchandising, etc. Its not like $1 million was their budget the whole time no matter what league they're in, its relevant to money they can get back. Isn't that common sense?
