In February 2021, Wrexham town in Wales got one of the biggest news they have ever heard. Two big names have successfully taken over the historic Wrexham AFC. At the moment, many doubted the club’s ability to generate revenue, and many doubted the leadership ability of the new owners or lack thereof. Although talking about these doubts in hindsight, every single one of them seems just wrong.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have turned this club into a well-functioning organization. Wrexham got fans all around the world, thanks to the vast fanbase of the Deadpool actor. Not only is this popularity opening new ventures for the club, but it has also been a blessing to the town. The boosted popularity of the club has seen a steady increase in tourism in the town.

Along with the success off the field, the team is doing unfathomably well in the league. The team is the prime contender for automatic promotion this season. No other team is close enough to present a real threat apart from Notts county. Notts has the same point as Wrexham but has played 2 matches. The buffer of 2 matches will help Wrexham as the club will have an upper hand in any case scenario.

Rob McElhenney talked about non-believers

There were many doubters when it came to Wrexham in 2020-21. The club was struggling and was running on a fan support fund. Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds forked over $2.5 million to attain full ownership of the club. At the time, experts criticized and mocked the stars for making this decision. However, as things turned out, the Hollywood stars had the last laugh in this battle.

Talking about that period months later, Rob McElhenney had stern words for everyone who doubted the club. He would go on and drop a bombshell of a tweet. The creator of it’s always sunny in Philadelphia wrote, “When we started looking at this league we were told ‘no one cares’. Good God, am I glad we didn’t listen to those morons.”

Over time, the stars have built an emotional connection with the town and the club. It has turned out to be a sense of pride for the new owners to be a part of Wrexham’s history.

Wrexham officials couldn’t believe it!

When the proposition of the private investment in the club came, it was surprising for everyone. Club officer Shaun Harvey in a press conference recently disclosed the thought he had while preparing the report for the new investors. Having no idea about who the new owners were and their plans, he determined that they will lose money investing in Wrexham.

That belief suddenly changed when he came to know that the new investors came with a pre-established fan following. They were ready to lose money if it came to that. However, what ended up happening is nothing short of a fairy tale that is still going on.
