In the interview, Ryan explained how their relationship is just getting stronger. He stated, “I would say we’re both relationship guys. I think that’s pretty evident throughout our life. Yeah, we find the one we love, and we stick with it. I don’t know. I get that that’s kind of, I find that to be a bit of a lazy sort of position to take. Maybe it’s valid.”
The club recently received a promotion to EFL League Two, and the entire city is on a high. Moreover, the owners have started their plans for the next season, aiming to get back-to-back promotions.
He continued, “You have to look at what’s happened. You have to understand, like in the sports world, anything can happen. That’s just the name of the game. We don’t pretend it’s just salad days ahead. This is a journey. The great moments we have had so far do not exist without the bad. It’s just football. It’s a heartbreaking shitstorm of a sport, and we’re all addicted to it now.”
The fans love the owners, and it is refreshing to see the connection they have. In addition, the Welcome to Wrexham tv show helped the club to widen its fan base. Therefore, things are looking rosy as the club looks to release season two of the fabled documentary.
