The Wrexham Supporters Trust Board would like to thank all members who took part in the Special General Meeting yesterday (Tuesday September 22) and took the time to vote.

As confirmed this morning, 97.5% of voters (1,223 members) voted in favour of the Resolution.

As a result, talks with the proposed bidders will now continue and we are in a position to confirm the two people interested in investing in Wrexham AFC.

Rob McElhenney is an American actor, director, producer and screenwriter, best known as the creator of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Ryan Reynolds is an award-winning Canadian actor, writer, producer and business entrepreneur whose credits include Marvel’s Deadpool.

Speaking before the names were confirmed, Trust director Spencer Harris said a vote from fans on the outline of the deal would be expected "in weeks rather than months".

"All we're going to commit to - because we're not going to put pressure on ourselves - is that we will conclude the discussions as soon as possible," Harris told BBC Wales.

"We will get to a position when the potential investors put forward a deal and the next stage… we would put that in front of the members for a vote if they wish to proceed with that deal or not."

Approval from the members to the deal would see the Trust relinquish control of the running of the club.

As a Wrexham lad, I've grown up supporting The Robins/Dragons/Reds. Villa have also always been there just as long but Wrexham have always come first. 

It's been an absolute grind for nearly 2 decades now but then this news breaks. I honestly can't believe it. 2 world known stars, absolutely loaded but both also hilarious and down to earth too. 

Hopefully one day we could see Wrexham vs Villa in the Prem. I couldn't cope. 

Trying not to get too excited but this is mental. If our fans vote this down I will kill!

I was there, Villa filled the away end (now home), 2000 or so. Brian Carey put out a weakened side and was ripped for it. I love Villa but it was painful being destroyed like that, could have been more. 

I also remember a pre-season friendly before this, think Dwight Yorke scored 2 and finished 2-2, could be wrong though, I was a teen and discovering boobs and stuff.

You got to see such Villa legends like Harewood, Maloney and Reo Coker all score 😜

Would prefer this to a Xia like fraud, at least they have money

Xia had a willingness to spend on Villa which exceeded his actual wealth.

These guys are fairly wealthy but there is no indication really how much they want it blow on a football team. They know nothing about the sport or the country. It will be a disaster.
