  • When Rob McElhenney found out how much it would cost to buy a soccer team, he knew he couldn't get it done with "TV money" alone, so he called box office superhero Ryan Reynolds. Stick around for more with the creators of the FX series, "Welcome to Wrexham." #WrexhamAFC #RyanReynolds #RobMcElhenney

      @@rikardottosson1272 According to another interview, it was a conversation that scared the crap out of him, trying to explain why he wanted to spend millions of dollars on a football team that no one outside of the UK had ever heard of before. Glad he did it though. It's boosted the local community, it's helped rebuild some of the physical infrastructure of the stands and pitch, completely changed the management and running of the team.
      If nothing else, it has provided hope to a local community, and that is priceless.

      @@TSTypeR Agreed, but realistically speaking competing for a cup might not necessarily be the end goal, with that sponsor list and extra revenue generated that team should be climbing ranks in no time, I think taking the team to 2nd tier and turning around and selling it it's still a great deal for everyone, you are still leaving the team in much better shape while trying to find a buyer emotionally invested, you are right, this two don't have the money to chase a cup, but at that point, you can also take a big partner while retaining control.

      Most people don't remember/know that in the Bible is written (at least a couple of times) that there will be drinking in the after life , I don't know if this idea makes you happy in anyway, even if you are not a believer

      Hardly the lowest. They were division 5, they could've gone to division 11 or even lower
