“They See What’s Going On” – With 300% Increase in $2.5 Million Investment, Rob McElhenney Reveals Why Players ‘Across the Leagues’ Want To Play for Wrexham

Rob McElhenney has made stunning revelations about the atmosphere that has been created at Wrexham AFC since the take-over by Ryan Reynolds and himself. Unsurprisingly, the Wrexham experience has been very appealing after the takeover. Just look at the effects that it has had.

The Red Dragons won the National League and secured promotion to the fourth division, something that has not happened in the past 15 years. Ever since the takeover, the club has seen a huge growth in fans, performance, and influence. It looks like even players from other leagues want to be part of the unique culture that’s been built at Wrexham.

Wrexham’s magic has other players wanting to join them

On a recent podcast, McElhenney and Reynolds sat down to talk about Wrexham. Amongst other things, he mentioned his experiences on a celebratory trip to Vegas with the team. He said, “I can’t believe how many times I heard this over and over and over again from the individual players that we were building something very special that you don’t see in other clubs across the leagues”.

McElhenney further added, “And that people want to play for this club. And they all talk, all the players talk across the leagues, and they see what’s going on in Wrexham and they want to come play for Phil (Wrexham manager)”. According to McElhenney, it’s not just the stardom of Hollywood actors and docuseries that is the reason.

Rob McElhenney believes “It’s because there’s a camaraderie that’s being built and a culture that’s being built”. In the end, showing his modesty, Rob gave all the credit to the fans, manager, and players to whom the Hollywood duo listened to reach this level today.

Wrexham has been nothing short of a dream for fans and players alike. The contributions from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have enabled the team to become successful. This is evident from the 300% increase in value the Welsh club has seen.
