Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have emphasized that they never intended to make money when they took over Wrexham, a declaration that is particularly significant given the financial difficulties they have encountered. Despite the unlikely pairing of a Hollywood actor and a comedian with a football club, their ownership has led to Wrexham’s success, with the team achieving two consecutive promotions and gaining global attention thanks to the FX/Disney+ series, *Welcome to Wrexham. *

Owning a football club comes with significant financial challenges, and Reynolds and McElhenney are not exempt from this reality, as illustrated by Wrexham’s financial losses. Despite this, they remain committed to the club and are aware of the need for outside support to ensure its sustainability as they move up the leagues.

Their ultimate goal is to establish a model that will allow the club to support itself, even after their tenure. McElhenney’s presence at Wrexham’s final game of the season, which resulted in a victory and secured the team’s return to the third tier after 20 years, reflects their dedication to the club. Additionally, a five percent stake in Wrexham has reportedly been sold to Club Necaxa. It’s clear that Reynolds and McElhenney are focused on the long-term success and sustainability of Wrexham, and they are prepared to seek external help to achieve this goal.

Their dedication to the club’s future and their desire to create a lasting impact on its stability are evident in their commitment and actions.
