In the world of football, clubs with passionate fanbases remain resilient. Even when they face critics, the passionate fanbase provides them with strength. Recently, Wrexham AFC found itself grappling with a colossal setback of a $25 million funding blow from the government, intended for their stadium renovation. But, their Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney stepped up to the plate and took matters into their own hands. As the Welsh team’s fans show their ardent support, Rob McElhenney recently delivered a powerful message to ‘cynical’ haters.

In the latest chapter of the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series, Rob took a dig at the haters of Wrexham by giving an answer to their faces in a brutally honest way. Let’s get to know more about what Wrexham owners had to say regarding the matter.

Wrexham AFC co-owner strikes back at the ‘cynics’

With the backdrop of their club’s remarkable resilience, the third episode of Welcome to Wrexham‘s second season offered an unexpected twist. Rob McElhenney took center stage to address the critics and haters who had taken aim at Wrexham’s struggle for survival.

McElhenney acknowledged the inherent tribalism in sports, where rival fans often relish the misfortunes of others. He said, “Sports is so tribal in nature that you’re gonna have supporters of other clubs looking at this club and wanting to cut us down at every turn, simply in support of their own club.”

However, it was his unapologetic defiance that truly resonated. He added, “Then of course, there are also cynics out there and people who just hear the story, and they’re just sort of cynical without really looking into it. They can f**k all the way off!”

Despite the setbacks they have faced, Reynolds and McElhenney are still optimistic about the future of Wrexham AFC. The pair have a clear vision for the club, and they are investing heavily in both the team and the infrastructure.

With the club gaining promotion to EFL League Two this season after their heroics in the National League, the ownership of the Hollywood Duo has provided significant improvements.
