Investors look at business projects as their kids. They’re well-versed in all businesses and put their heart and soul into it. With a net worth of $350 million, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have various other business ventures under their belt.

Most of them are successful, and Ryan minted money from the Mint Mobile deal and his famous Aviation gin company. But when asked about his challenging business project, the sensational Hollywood owner had only one answer. Wrexham soccer club!

When taking over the club, they were in the National League, the 5th tier of the English soccer pyramid. Hence, in a previous interview, Ryan explained the challenges and pressure of owning an old English soccer club. 

Wrexham owners explain their toughest business challenges

In the interview, the hosts questioned Ryan about his challenging investment, and he stated, “I would say Wrexham. I think the Wrexham project is the biggest business risk because you have so much more to lose than win.” 

Owning a soccer club is really challenging. They have what it takes to go bust or go to levels they can’t think of. The signings, sponsorships, and matchday income all contribute to the business. And without a widened fan base, things won’t work out for the soccer club. 

Adding to the conversation, Rob mentioned, “It’s a tremendous responsibility. Because it’s not the kind of thing where, oh, if it fails, then we just shutter the shop and go into bankruptcy and settle out of court. I mean, it’s the kind of thing where there’s such an emotional component to this. And it’s such a tremendous responsibility that I think that that’s what makes it so dangerous.”

Many clubs go bankrupt after going down the lower leagues. The investment put in the club would be vital for its success, but the soccer club would miss out on money if it didn’t receive a promotion or ended up sliding down to the lower leagues. According to the Canadian, running one of the oldest soccer clubs in the world comes with its own set of difficulties.

Reynolds continued, “Yeah, and we’re also, you know, really kind of tinkering and, you know, helping motivate the destiny for the third oldest football club on the planet that plays in the oldest international stadium on the planet. I mean, that’s a lot of pressure. So that’s certainly a factor.” The passion the English fans have for soccer is eye-opening. They care about their club and root for them at all costs. 

Considering the current situation, that investment is working well for the soccer club. They are preparing to play in the EFL League Two as Wrexham’s Ryan and Rob have their work cut out.
