After clinching empathic promotion to EFL League Two, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney decided to reward their players. In order to signify their hard work for the promotion, the actors surprised them with an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas. All the players went to Sin City and celebrated their victory in style.
This has inspired Bournemouth owner Bill Foley to also reward his players with a trip to Vegas.

Aside from this, the squad will also split a seven-figure bonus according to the terms agreed last summer. In fact, Foley owns the NHL side, the Vegas Golden Knights, and also wants them to join the party. It seems Foley, who took over at the club in December, is also keen to instill Reynolds’ ownership values within himself.
However, there’s a possibility that players may reject the offer, as many already have family commitments. Michael B. Jordan’s part-owned club is currently nine points clear of the relegation zone and will be hoping to finish this season in England’s top division. They’ll be looking to perform well in the 2023 Premier League season. On the other hand, Wrexham is also preparing for its new life in the EFL.
