How Have Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Saved Wrexham? (in under  

You need to commit the song "It's McElhenney!" to memory! 😉

I noticed the mispronounced "McElhenney" in the beginning of the video, but it was correctly said near the ending. I had only recently learned the correct way - we're all learning 🙃✌️

Hi can I use parts of this on my channel? Have you got the audio without the music? Well done!

Exactly. I do think that Rob and Ryan use Ryan's name more as part of their plan on purpose.

Rob is a fking genius. A hard nosed deal making devil.

He's sort of under appreciated in general. A lot of Always Sunny fans might not even realize that Rob was the creator of the show.

​@@JonnyHavens i think every Sunny fan knows that Rob, Charlie, and Glenn created the show.

​@Jonny Havens one of the ceators, yes.

Ryan was right.

A billion?

@@lubov5569 Hyperbole.

I don't know about a billion but they gonna make a stupid amount of money when one they sell the club on.

Thinking they did it for the money is wrong. They went into it to try do win but knowing they might loose everything

They didn't buy into the club, they outright own it.

@@jbo4547 That may be true but, their attitude in their documentary about how they are just custodians of the club for its next chapter in history comes across quite strong. You can see in their interviews and attitudes to the players, staff, fans, and local community that they are sincere in their actions. A complete breath of fresh air in the footballing world. A very good example of a club, and community benefiting each other. There are many clubs who could share this ethos to make good their own setup if they can find a couple of good people with investment capital to help.

​@@jbo4547 correct, but that's how Ryan got interested. He bought into the idea of being an owner, and the rest is history.

They make a good team. Rob has the passion for sports in general while Ryan is a marketing whiz.

It's 50/50.... Ryan do the financing and exposure... Rob do the dealings and the politics and what not 🤣

not quite they got those sponsorships and fame solely to Ryan's appearance. its like Ryan was the car while Rob was the engine, each have important roles but mostly sold because of the car's appearance ( brand ) rather than being sold because of whats in the engine, but ofcourse for real enthusiats (more or less 20% of the consumers) knows Rob was the biggest factor.

This is because Deadpool just loves him some DMX.

Actually it wasn't like that. Nice sentimental thought but no. Like any business person he looked to see who had the higher attendance so they can start to get some instant cash. I'm sure Rob even looked at the season ticket holders history in holding onto those tickets. But whoever is the recruiter is, that is the real hero. The rest was just string it up to dumb luck that this turned out into a fantasy turned real story. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised that Ryan will use this to make 30M plus box-office recites by turning it into a movie.

When you’re worth that kind of money it’s usually your financial guy that decides what is and what is not a smart investment.

@@walterkoziol3822 late reply but... we're saying exactly the same thing. I was just mor poetic.

@@kvoltti Ah. 👍

Notts County 1 point behind Wrexham, fraction of the money 😂 unfortunately not automatically promoted. 😢

Good comment. The investment is in the club and the community support. That means all teams. When R&R are there they watch all the teams. This is key. It makes smart business sense, but it does seem to be more than that for them. BTW, if Wrexham want to get to Premier League, then the women's team is the cheapest route.

Lol he’s mostly a tv show actor I believe not movie star like Reynolds. Pretty sure he’s apart of very big shows though, rather famous.

I hadn't heard of him either, when I first saw him I assumed he was a UFC Cage Fighter from his looks and stature, but I'm assured I was getting him mixed up with someone else.......lol. Edit, that someone else was Chael Sonnen........ it's uncanny if you squint!

You are right! The brand is strong and rising much higher. They have captured the American market as has shown in the increase of American Tourism to the area. Their operating costs have to factor in the inflated wage bill for the National League but there will be television right payments from EFL-2 which is worth at least £1.1M so that's a start in the right direction. However, the new players signed for the next season I'm sure will also make a bit of a dent in that wage bill. With the new (Kop) stand adding an additional 5,500 seats that could be a full 50% extra income at each home game considering they have a sellout crowd at the moment. Merchandise will pay its way and how much are the sponsors dropping into the mix? I guess sponsorship contracts will be revised to factor in the new league so expect those payments to increase. TikTok would be crazy to drop them right now. Look also at the outside community changes. Number of shops closed in Wrexham in 2009 was 6.4%, during the pandemic it was 30% and in 2022 that was 18.9%. With the additional tourism to the area, you can expect many new businesses to open up especially as they have a railway station for easy access. My home town of Cirencester has 4.3% of closed shops (2022) but we rely heavily on Tourism to bring the punters in. Wrexham are building history and the whole area is login to benefit. Other towns in North Wales are significantly worse off than Wrexham with some town centres with close to 40% closed shops. The national average is 13.8% (2022) and for Wales it's 16.2% (2022). For me it's pure entertainment so I'll continue to watch the docs and youtube vids even though I've not followed a football team properly in my life. I've been to Wembley three times. Once to watch Evel Kneivel fail to jump 22 buses (1975) on a motorbike, a visit with the Scouts to tour the old stadium in the early 80's and lastly to watch my home town of Swindon gain promotion to the Premiership in 1993 against Leicester City. The only game I have ever watched live. Ticket cost was £19 with partial view as the old Wembley roof would obscure one corner of the pitch.

Well if they get promoted enough times you have to go to the championship first so that would be inevitable

Actually I've seen several interviews with the top brass saying how the club was bleeding money an would fold under fan control in 3 to 5 years. This club was poorly ran. Someone had to buy it for it to survive.

That’s the ‘Hollywood’ version. The club would have continued. Don’t get me wrong, being a season ticket holder and having supported the team for over 40 years I’m delighted with the takeover and the progress being made.

@@davidgriffiths2839 I call bs. You were Macclesfield. A club with Wrexhams history should have never been supporter owned. That was the first sign of death. You can't work in the red with a team owned by schmoes.

@@davidgriffiths2839 I'm definitely taking the word of the book keepers over some delusional fan.

Rude. Wrexham FC made a £755,587 profit in their last full financial year pre Covid. I’ll stick to facts rather than hearsay.

The national league has 24 teams and each team plays 46 games a season.

@@guanyeuansim3912 the odd thing is google told me 44 :P

@@TrymRU-vidMainChannel so if google told you 44...how do you get to 34 games??? maths really isn't your thing is it?

@@paulfranklin8636 lol my bad on that x) sharp eyes btw didn't realize my typo I meant to say 44 ( I had that number in my head)

McElhenney*

@@TrymRU-vidMainChannel That's how it's spelt - I wrote how it's pronounced.

@@fingersfinesilver you mean how it sounds , not how it's written

@@TrymRU-vidMainChannel Yes indeed sir

Yeah and in American football, it stops every couple of minutes and cuts to an ad break full of commercials. I'd rather have more uninterrupted action and shirt sponsors than a match that lasts twice the length it should do because of marketing requirements. So yeah, it's no surprise American football never took off outside of America and football is the world's most played and viewed sport.

It was an F.A. cup run so Wrexham were playing teams above them by many places/leagues. Had they beat Sheffield they would have played Tottenham in the 5th round

@@xlxpugxlx hahahaha I got ya 🫡

Non league are not part timers, it shouldn't be classed as non league, majority of teams are ex, so called "league teams ".

For all that money, only just beat Notts County, and even with an ex PL goalie who's let more in than he's saved.😂 Shout out for Macauley Langstaff 41 goals this season for Notts, ex Gateshead player.

They sure seem into it for the long haul. That, and they aren't just "buying their way out of the league" like some people claim. The investment they have made in the first team gets all the attention. However, if a team only does that it is unsustainable in the League. By generating global interest in the club, that opens up being able to sell our merchandise globally. Only really the biggest of the Premier League sides have the same capability as us. We have more social media followers than a number of Premier League sides. They have invested in the infrastructure of the club, rebuilding our Academy and our training ground. I think it is a situation that, if they ever chose to leave, the club would be able to continue its success.

exactly, they are planning for the long run. I'm sure there won't be 10 seasons of wrexam on Apple TV.. but they are trying to set up a future for the club. who knows.. maybe they do want the premier league and then let the club run on its own. with the right people in the right places.. anything is possible

@@alexc1926 after waiting for promotion for this league I don't know if I have two more leagues in me! But I'll be here! They sure made me proud. Peace!

Rob 100% will be. This whole thing was his idea and just watching the documentary he was 100% in from day 1. I think Ryan was in it for the business aspect but has slowly come around and I think he could be involved for a lot longer then he originally planned

Not much difference between league 2 and the conference league, Wrexham will probably make it to league 1 but haven't a prayer of getting any higher than that

and nothing wrong with that

Well, they do not have unlimited amounts of money. And it’s a business, after all, so of course they’ll not just send bag after bag of money after the club. It also has to be viable.
