Ryan Reynold’s Premier League Dream Sparks Laughter, but Mullin Urges Critics to Look Ahead

Much of the credit for Wrexham AFC’s recent success and growth is down to their owners, who now have their eyes set on the biggest prize, the English Premier League.

The Canadian-American actor duo bought the team in November 2020 through their RR McReynolds company, a deal that saw 98.6% backing of the Wrexham Supporters Trust. The new ownership marked the beginning of a fairytale run for the team that eventually led them to breaking barriers and winning hearts.

Premier League is the main goal

The new owners brought with them a refreshing and different style of running the show. The change in the team’s performance and fortunes were instantly visible. They had a very successful first year, making it to the finals of the 2021-22 FA Trophy but their greatest moment in recent history happened in the National League. The team lifted the trophy after a 45 years long wait and that victory promoted them to EFL League two, making their return to the league after a 15-year hiatus.

The fairytale journey Wrexham AFC have enjoyed has a lot of contributing factors. Primarily, the style of ownership and freedom given to the management by them has paved the way for some great football and wonderful camaraderie in the squad. The team had one of their most successful seasons in the League Cup as they finished with a tally of 111 points.

The takeover by the Hollywood duo also made the way for a docuseries on the team called ‘Welcome to Wrexham’. The show covered the team’s journey from the new ownership to adapting to the changes. The series impacted the club’s visibility in massive ways, leading to the birth of global fanbase and coverage from media houses all over. For a non-mainstream club, these were all encouraging signs and these reasons are why the owners believe the team has the potential to make it to the Premier League.

Paul Mullin throws his weight behind audacious dream

Paul Mullin, Wrexham striker is in the midst of recovery after suffering a punctured lung in a deadly clash. The striker was recovering at Rob’s house in California as per the doctors advice, who said he could not travel for two weeks. Speaking about his team’s chances and their future goals in TV show, Mullin was very vocal about critics and their comments and argued that there is no price to dream.

He said, “With Rob and Ryan’s backing and the whole support we have got, not just in Wrexham but from all around the world, it is only going to push the club on and give them other outlets of income which need to come down the line the higher up you go through the divisions.”

“The sky really is the limit. They can achieve the Premier League but who knows how long it could take. It could take five, 10, 20 years, or it could take four – you just never know in this game.”

The EFL is still three divisions below their dream league but everyone at Wrexham AFC has dared to dream and dream big. The team’s brand and its value has only grown in the past few years and with the premiere of the next season of the docuseries coming soon, their popularity and following will only an upward rise. The net worth of the club grew $4million since the new takeover and it would not be wrong to say that, only the limit they have is the one’s in their minds!
