Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham. Two names that would have never been associated with each other. But thanks to an inherent entrepreneurial instinct, an Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor, and the Netflix documentary, Sunderland ‘til I die, Ryan Reynolds is now the co-owner of the National League outfit.
How did this happen?

    As a lad from Wrexham, this type of news has really lifted the place. When the football team went down, so did the entire town. Now it’s feels like there’s a future for us, and hopefully we’ll be back in the football league soon.

    The Wrexham purchase has been the antidote to all the petro dollar fueled financial doping currently rife at the top of the game. It’s just a fantastic story and the way Reynolds and McElhenney have come in and not just elevated the club, but also the local businesses that had kept Wrexham afloat is just heart warming.

    Wrexham itself has such a fantastic and rich history, from the first ever lager brewed in the UK, to the 3rd oldest football club in the world, and the oldest international football stadium in the world (And has one of the largest business parks in Europe). I'm proud to be from Wrexham, and it's pretty surreal that we're getting international fame, where as not too long ago, barely anybody even heard of Wrexham, even in England lol.

    It's one of my biggest criticisms of UEFA - the fact that occasions like that are rarer now than they've ever been because of the Champions' League and the scrapping of the CWC. The 1-0 away defeat Bangor City had against the mighty Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Cup is still talked about. At that time, Bangor were a non-league team playing in the English system (there was no Welsh league at the time).

    If city was was a big club waiting for some love. Why's it that even after all the success they were struggling to fill their stadium as early as 5years ago? I hope you take what I'm gonna say I'm a peaceful way. WHY DO PEOPLE DISLIKE CITY? Because they were a mid table team and sometimes even fighting for relegation kinda of team until 2009 . So why do people hate them is it because they won alot since? Not particularly. The fact that they got the cheatcode of football 💵 make them so strong even the big boys like Liverpool, Arsenal and United can't go close to them. So if the big teams are struggling themselves how do you think it had been for the smaller clubs? Clubs like Everton, Nottingham Forest, Leeds utd are all historically and in terms of fanbase bigger than City. And how a club like City who struglings to get in 20k people increased their revenue in such a short time that the only club who got more revenue then City was Real Madrid? Something fishy innit?

    I love the idea of this - the romantic aspects, plus the glamour that Reynolds brings can only boost Wrexham's profile. I just really hope that this isn't some short-term fad for the sake of a documentary. Wrexham, and league football in general, deserve better. Still, I've got my fingers crossed and truly wish Wrexham AFC all the best. Hopefully, if they are successful it might tempt other wealthy benefactors into reassessing and investing into lower league teams.

    I hope it's more than the doc too, but even the lesser of the two options is still amazing publicity and funds for the club. Very few small market teams can say they have a global brand

    Even if it’s just a short term fad for the documentary, the tangible and intangible investments being made during their ownership will remains beneficial for the long term of the club. A national league club with global support as a global brand is a very strong foundation for the club going forward.

    I wonder what the reaction to Reynolds and McIlhenny? was among Wrexham fans, though. The last time I heard of a group become owners of a non-league team, Salford City fans were disgruntled when the Class of 92 bought them, as seen in the TV show "The Class of 92: Out of Their League."

    @@anthonygeo3 And it seems unfair for Wrexham to be compared to ManCity the way it was mentioned in the video. They might be wealthy individuals but their combined net worth is only 200m USD, smaller than some transfer fees. Hardly has the wealth of a sovereign nation or even a billionaire (in the case of Salford and Peter Lim) supporting them

    I'd bet it's the Class of 92's success and actual enthusiasm when they bought Salford that has helped Reynolds and Mclhenny to be welcomed at Wrexham. I know Salford felt like the Class were just big bucks guys trying to flaunt their cash, but they've proved that they actually want to do right. I think it's created a public sentiment that as long as the celebs actually kinda care about the club then it should be ok. Obviously big clubs are different, coz they need financial power, so a celeb buying a club would REALLY need to show they're gonna put in the effort and the work. Small clubs can get bought by celebs with a little bit of wealth. Plus, Reynolds is insanely likeable and has a reputation for being humble and nice and modest in his own way, and down to earth. So it probably feels like you can trust him to do what he says whereas other celebs probably would be viewed with derision or suspicion.
