Ryan Reynolds is a proud owner of Wrexham AFC since its takeover in February 2021. The club recently completed two years under the ownership of Reynolds and Rob McElhenney on February 9. Both the owners are passionate about their investment and defend the club. One such incident from 2022 highlights it.

The Deadpool superstar hit back at a Twitter user who called Wrexham AFC an English soccer club in 2022. Since the takeover, the duo has invested in the club and the passionate community of Wrexham. Be it new signings or their efforts to promote the club over social media, they are always there. Who can forget the documentary series Welcome To Wrexham and its success, a masterstroke from the owners? 

Ryan Reynolds slams a Twitter user for calling Wrexham AFC, an English soccer club

One of the Twitter users posted a pic of the Welcome To Wrexham promotional hoarding on social media. He captioned it, “It’s Wryan Reynolds on the roof of The Fox and Hounds British pub in Century City! A shrewd location choice for a billboard promoting a show about he and his friend saving an English soccer team.”

Wrexham co-owner hit back at the user by replying, “It’s a Welsh football team, Bob.” He corrected the user about where the club is located and also mentioned football instead of soccer in his reply. Fans were happy that Reynolds gave a brilliant response to the English soccer club jibe. 

The Welsh club is currently at the top of the Vanarama National League, level on points with Notts County. However, the third oldest club has a game in hand and a better goal difference than the nearest rival county. The winner of the league gets an automatic promotion to EFL League Two. National League has two promotional places. 

The other team gets promotion through playoffs. Currently, Wrexham looks comfortable and determined for promotion after narrowly missing it last season. It will be a great achievement under the new owners if the club gets a promotion.

Welcome to Wrexham was a masterstroke by the owners

The takeover of the club started in 2022 and was completed on February 9, 2021. As soon as the takeover was done, Reynolds and McElhenney announced the first season of the documentary series Welcome To Wrexham. After its release in August 2022, the series was a hit and helped the club gain a fan base worldwide.

It also helped the club increase its jersey sale through the club’s retail website and shop. It was a masterstroke coupled with Hollywood ownership to increase the popularity of the club. Wrexham fans are already waiting for the second season of the series, as they had a memorable FA Cup campaign this season.
