Is The Wrexham Gamble Paying Off? 

I feel sorry for those who have no idea of this account

Wow.. this is a great video! Well done!

Good content. One mistake, however - If memory serves, Tozer was signed in the 2021(edit) pre-season, along with Jones and Mullin. You had him joining in the winter transfer window, with Palmer.

One key thing is that not only would Wrexham be worth hundreds of millions if they were to make it to the Premier League ... they were bought for a 2 million investment and would TODAY be worth 10 million or more if sold, so the capital gains of the club are keeping pace with the amount "owed" to the co-owners. While they are going to make a push for the playoff spots at the very least, so spending on players will rise again, I expect the 5 million pound loss is going to go down -- not just from the growth in sponsorship income, but also from a move of their kit to a first tier sports merchandiser. For the last two seasons, Wrexham shirts were constantly sold out.

You briefly mentioned the revenue that is generated by the Welcome to Wrexham series. But of course as that is a privately held company in the United States, no one really knows how much profit it generated there. I would suspect when that revenue is added in, Rob and Ryan are still making more money than they are spending. This more than just an expensive hobby for them, both are smart businessmen and have found a way to balance costs vs overall revenue.

Great video and great channel! Subscribed ✔️

Wow, just come across your channel. Really excellently researched, concise & well delivered. Thank you.

Great video. Keep it up and this channel will go far

Great content Jordan!!!

Awesome work mate. Love from Singapore

This video is great my dude! Keep it going. You will be successful imo!

Just found your channel. Well done video and a needed deep dive into the business side for us fans. As a lifelong San Francisco 49ers fan and a casual soccer fan most of my life (starting with George Best and the San Jose Earthquakes), the 49ers' investment in Leeds United has resulted in growing popularity for Leeds due to the 49ers large fanbase, albeit not quite the rocket ride that Wrexham has experienced. Best of luck to a talented host as your channel will surely grow quickly as well.

Good, sensible review of accounts there. Spot on 👍⚽️

Recommended cause wxm fan looked at a few pieces others really informative content fella subbed.

Randomly came across this when it was suggested, this vidoe alone has made me subscribe. Now I can keep and eye on Chelsea and their financial side of things, hopefully Mansfield will feature on here at some point now we're making moves up the leagues

great video

Great channel by the way

Randomly found this video. Awesome channel u will be huge in no time

subbed from canada , hopefully one day isee you do a video on the Canadian Premiere League when football ever lows in UK/Europe but excellent breakdown of wrexham financees , hey that would be a a good tart for a #CPL video as im not quite sure where our league finances rank like your ,, im hoping for them to be at best your league 1 level ,, anyways great job

Just stumbled across this video and channel - top work! As for Wrexham, it all looks sunny doesn't it - they'll need to keep pumping money in for little/no return if they want to achieve their goals. The training ground and academy aren't mentioned though. One is a must, the other potentially a vehicle to drive income through homegrown talent. The longer they leave these, the more it will cost them? Be interesting when they have to start spending their own cash for real.

I think the reason they don’t care about the 9m is because on a personal basis they take chunks in credits from welcome to Wrexham before the tv show passes any money to Wrexham. My guess is that they have already recouped their up front funding. And who would deny them that.

Glad I came across this account

Love how you put these videos together. As for Rob and Ryan. This is just the investment stage to get Wrexham where they want them. If the debts were just football related I would be worried as it wouldn’t be sustainable. They are however making money via other companies media and other brands they own etc. which are linked to the club. So long as the debt is covered by the clubs overall value they are fine. Club has to be worth £10-15 million today. They are, so far, excellent business people. Time will tell if football turns them into crazy business people, as it has in the past with many other owners. Keep up the great videos.

Good video …. Well produced but you kind of missed out on how well structured/financed the club is… it’s hard to see as the accounts are a year behind. The main issue driving debt to owners is promotion through the leagues. The first year that Wrexham remain in the same division then costs will normalise and allow the income growth to catch up.

Incredible

this is some sort of philanthropic exercise for them- they are trying to get as much out of the dollars they are putting in.

Wrexham is worth about £12M - £15M of it was sold, so Rob & Ryan have actually made a £3M -£5M profit value wise, except they won't sell Club for a decade at least! If EVER!😮

Of course its paying off, your not taking into consideration lots of other revenue like both Rob and Ryan have mentioned before when answering this question, the massive popularity of the documentary alone is bringing in millions and they are not paying any big celebrities to star in it. This will only draw more money and more big investors wanting to get involved in the future aswell

Why would Wrexham need to have a UEFA cat 4 stadium? I highly doubt they will ever qualify for Europe.

Correct me if I am wrong, but £10 millions turnover was when Wrexham was National league club. So in League 2 they made most likely more

22-23 financial year then comparing them to clubs in 23-24 season 🙄 there's a big gap in there.

Ryan not Robert

You can say all football clubs don't make profit especially in big countries

To be fair they're losing money to themselves, tax loopholes are a bit confusing tbh

What we're seeing with Wrexham just now is the middle of a very smart long-term investment. Both owners make enough money outside of football to not notice this £9 million loss and I'm sure it'll be made back by the next 3-4 seasons, depending how Wrexham are doing.

Rob and Ryan will be at Wrexham for the long haul both of them know they will make their return of investment when they get to the prem which is their long term goal is.

This guy almost seems like an AI creation.. he's almost too good...

The two owners are making money from the TV show, and I imagine they have pocketed over 9 mil from rhe show. Doubt that they have lost even a penny so far.

Like the video overall, but it also frustrates me how this isn't an accurate portrayal. The image shows rob and Ryan with -£8.9m. From Rob and Ryan's perspective, the Wrexham project includes the football club, and the documentary. There's no way to know exactly how much the documentary makes - particularly in terms of profit, but various sources talk about c£400k revenue per episode. It's hard to know how that converts to profit... But considering the biggest cost to most shows is talent, which in this case is almost 0... I can't see a world where it doesn't generate millions. I think this would have just been a far more accurate assessment of you'd thought about the entire venture, which is, ultimately, way more relevant.

So Aston Villa was valued at £200M just two seasons ago! And Brentford think they are now worth £400M! Yeah right, lets see who actually buys them and for what! Theyll be in a relegation battle next season, and likely back in the Championship before long. Accountants will say anything to a club regarding TV value, as long as they are getting paid a chunk....to say nice things! 😂

Is Wrexham making money? Are Wrexhham making money? Wrexham football club is singular i.e only one.

I really love that Rob and Ryan bought Wrexham. However, it is pretty annoying them talking about how much money they are losing. Maybe its just for tv content, but obviously Wrexham will be an absolute cash cow down the road
