As long as he doesn't replace the injured goalies spot in the starting eleven, he will benefit the team.

Rob and Ryan’s behavior is evidence against the nice guy’s finish last idea. Not that that can’t happen, but they show how if you treat people with love and respect, it not only enriches your life, the ripple effects are tremendous. Part of the reason everyone wants to go to Wrexham is they see that Rob and Ryan genuinely care and are helpful. And the more people you can make feel like that, the more doors open in your life, the better partnerships you can build, etc.

I’m a Newcastle fan and we’ve had owners who don’t care and are in it for the money, to now owners who care about the staff and players. I went on a stadium tour at Xmas and someone asked the tour guide how things have changed since the takeover and he said it’s like day and night difference. Meals payed for, more holidays and they show their faces and remember names. They care now. Which encourages not just players but staff aswell. It’s amazing to see 🖤🤍

Very much reminds me of Coach Calipari at University of Kentucky. He's not only produced half the NBA talent he's a genuine and truly nice guy and that's why many players wanna go to UK. I once worked with a guy that was a bench player for Calipari at Memphis and even this guy had kept in touch with Calipari when most coaches barely keep in touch with former starters let alone JUCO transfer bench players.

yeah allowing the side hustles are super important to lower league players too --- it allows them to play football and keep them afloat if successful. That's such an interesting way to keep players happy. Its not for everyone the younger ones might want to focus on getting bought by bigger teams but someone at 30-31 like palmer its like getting a head start on life after football while still doing what you love.

Convincing youngens to come on loan is also way easier for Wrexham. The exposure they can provide for them is higher than most if not all Championship teams. As long as the documentary runs, and if the media hype doesn't completely die, they'll have as much pulling power as a lower end Premier League club (excluding the financial aspect).

Let’s see, all it takes is for a bad run, confidence to drop, thoughts of this fairytale run up the league to end and then they can get stuck in league two. What’s going well for Wrexham, is they came close last year and just missed out, they’ve been there, now they’ve won it, they’ll have confidence in themselves in the good times and the bad.

I have to say as a north wales exile living down in deepest Kent I have to thank Wrexham for two things my pride in my homeland it’s always been there but all this has made it stronger and getting me addicted to the Fozcast I’m so enjoying watching these Thank you

Great to see how the owners help the player and the town outside of the football. Good lucky Ollie with the brand

Love this whole journey. It's just beautiful. Thanks for posting this chat.

As an Australian watching the Wrexham revival and wanting to see underdogs succeed can I say that you have both played such a significant role in bringing back what is the essense of sport. You have played at the top level but bringing your knowldege back to grass roots is sooo important. I am not saying Wrexham is grass roots ... but I sort of am saying that. It's what it is all about when a community is involved.

I think Ryan, Rob & Wrexham have been a perfect fit. Hope you go all the way to the premier and we can welcome you to the Molineux.

I can see Wrexham and Notts County rising up the leagues together, just like Sholing and AFC Totton have this season. Rivalry brings out the best in clubs.

Also a notts fan. I see wrexham doing the same thing this season but with it being a bit more tough. Its our job to match that and I don't see why we can't both continue what we did we have great clubs and great players. The other notts fan talking about IB. I don't believe IB was a bad manager I think forest Green was a sinking ship because of the owners choices I felt he was doing an ok job there for what happened after November if you see Forest green didn't improve after him and just got worst. Anyway I hope we both do the same would love to beat you to it this time

We need Ollie, Paul , Ben & Ben (Fos & Toz) doing a podcast while playing golf.

Ben , I hope you stay for just one season and see where this fairy tale journey takes you and Wrexham , we all know it's not about the money , it's all about a wonderful memory , something you can tell your grand kids , it's like the whole world is on this same Wrexham fairy tale train , I'm an Arsenal fan and even I'm going on this journey for a laugh

He could have gone to the Championship and I doubt they were offering that sort of money. In addition if the gamble went wrong what would he do in 3 years time after not playing high level football for so long. He could have been stuck.bouncing between national league and league 2 teams for the rest of his career.

So many football players retire and have nothing to do and have a slump so it's good that the boys are looking out for the future of the players.

Just watched the entire Fozcast interview with Ollie. Also saw the 2 fan podcasts this week that Rob and Ryan were on and were interviewed. Fearless in Devotion and Rob Ryan Red. Highly recommend all 3.

Oli played really well at Leyton Orient too.

Ollie Palmer what a man.

Great interview

That's a fantastic idea for owners to help players transition easier once playing is over

Imagine your boss pulling you aside and asking about your interests/ventures outside work and then backing it?

I think the bit about starting a side hustle is great. Not every sports person has a long career or well paid and if they been into that sport since childhood or teenager and suddenly it stops, then what?

Love watch these podcasts gives you a good insight of what it would be like to be a pro sports person awesome and your such a top guy Ben proper down to earth guy

Dropped because wage was higher and good project - nothing wrong with that.

Ollie has a great brand on his hand. If he continues to push this brand, he will have a massive clothing brand on his hand when Wrexham make it.

Im an American and following Wrexham has been a delight. It makes Soccer enjoyable and fun to watch. If only the MLS and US soccer federation would care about the sport like Rob and Ryan do we would have a product that Americans would be proud of.

Ben I love listening to your pod but please do your research on Ed Sheeran he is ITFC sponsor and season ticket holder not an owner

Well done Ollie on your clothing line Wrexham is now a massive part of my life, a life long Blue Nose myself, my father before me also.... Ive got him into watching Wrexham as to my girlfriend too, we love it.

Rob and Ryan have that working class mind set, if they know they have good staff they will back you, help you no matter what .

Love these lower tier of football stories I’d love to see more of these just guys in the lower leagues who are either up and comers or vets who have loads of stories

Excellent Ben thanks. Mot

Fookin hell man. Proper owners

Gonna need a post parade / Vegas follow-up...

Ben foster is now in league 2

I'm reading Ben and Paul may get a cameo in the new Dead Pool - I think Ollie needs to be in it too.

Think Wrexham not only offered Ollie a 3 yr contract they also doubled his Wimbledon wages. Plus Wrexham were already buzzing at the new ownership. That season Wimbledon only needed 3 more points to stay in league 1. We really struggled to score without him. Ollie leaving was a big reason why we went down. Fair play to OP though, most in his position would’ve moved. We missed him, 100%.

Rob took his team aside to tell them he'd support their side hustles?! Name another owner whos EVER done that. For any professional sport. Heard of plenty who discourage it, though.

Not completely. If Wrexham stayed in the National League what would he do at the end of his contract. He could hardly be considered for a return to League 1 or Championship football. Wrexham could have ended his career. Whilst had he stayed at Wimbledon he'd likely be a Championship player with the possibility of the Premier league in the next handful of years

Anyone commenting "money" like its a problem that a money is a factor for a lower league player is being stupid. Their careers are over by mid 30s and they have families to support. Why should money not be a huge factor in their employment decisions.
