Imagine a whole series of Unai cutting clips telling McGinn he is 1/8th of an inch too far to the left. Would be fascinating! Honestly sounds like the advice my partner gives me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners use personal wealth and profile to further the success of the club. Every team and every owner does this. The only difference is the disparity between the profile and wealth of Wrexham's owners and the rest of the league. I don't see how RR and RM can win. If they buy a team higher I the pyramid they are 'tourists', buying a plaything. They buy a lowly team and they are 'Man City'. From my understanding, they have gone in at grass roots paid respects to the town and the club and league's heritage, and brought new economic boosts to Wrexham, directly and indirectly. Fair play to them. Who was talking about Wrexham as a town 5 years ago. It's perfectly fine for these things to co-exist. People seem to have a real problem identifying that. Naturally, fans of teams in the league(s) Wrexham will be in will be annoyed at their massive financial wealth comparatively. They may also recognise that their owners are doing great things. Again, both things can occur and that's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too Not sure why people get their back up over the source of money, they won the lottery, is what it is, instead they should get a bed sheet partner and pay for the players that way? I hate this sponsorship bullshit and the idea that it's fair, it's not, the millionaires who want to chuck money in is fairer And this "proper" fan stuff, id love it if this was kiddy harriers, can only imagine what it's doing for the town let alone the football club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I'm pleased for the people of Wrexham. Must be a great buzz for them. Plus Ryan Reynolds just seems a sound bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the few limited interviews I’ve seen. Both Rob and Ryan seem fully invested in it, the area and the fans, and spoke highly of Notts too. I really don’t see what they’ve done wrong. They clearly care about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I think I decided, somewhat pragmatically and against my own members-owned football ideals, that the Wrexham story is good for football. Get more money into the lower leagues to level the playingfield between top and bottom of the pyramid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, there'll be a good benefit here for lower league sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Given how much the EFL lets in dubious and terrible owners - from Derby to Wigan to Bury and others. It’s great to have owners who care at Wrexham. The Premier League has at least £1bn in reserves, they also could do more to help the lower tiers of the footballing pyramid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Look, I think it’s a nice story and I like Ryan Reynolds a lot but my god am I am bored of hearing about it. It’s all over my Twitter feed, the news, everywhere, I can’t escape it. (So I deliberately sought out this thread so I could moan about it).
