Ryan Reynolds is among the biggest soccer fans. Not only does he own a soccer team, but is also involved with every decision that has to be made. Wrexham AFC is making strides in the National League and can smell a promotion. Recently, the team had a miraculous run in FA CUP. It has been 2 years since the Deadpool actor and the creator of ‘its always sunny in Philadelphia’ bought Wrexham. The owners paid 2.5 million USD and brought it into the limelight. However, this deal was considered a loss for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The club has been performing far better than before, and was just moments away from snatching yet another upset in the FA Cup. However, that match ended up as a draw and the Welsh club lost the rematch. If Wrexham would have won the re-match against Sheffield United or didn’t concede the goal in the last minutes, Wrexham would have been preparing to host the Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur on their home grounds.

Harvey said, “I told Steve, ‘I don’t really understand this thing because all that is going to happen is these new owners will lose money. Steve is saying to me, ‘They know that, it’s fine – they are prepared to invest and lose money.’ But I’m still looking at the business case and thinking, ‘This just doesn’t make sense’. That only changed when they told me who was behind the offer and their plans with the Welcome to Wrexham documentary and so on. Then it made perfect sense.”
