Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney EXTREMELY BULLISH over Wrexham’s future ⭐️ | ESPN FC 

Sadly hits too close to home lol

I'm guessing that your moods aren't going to be that great once the new season gets underway....

@@mrbillhicks im a Newcastle fan so....

I know

Naaah this is their destiny and it will truly live on beyond their years. They’ve done a remarkable thing!

Don't watch then... Why are you even here?

@@DeathsHeadNihilism read the comment again before replying to make sure you understood it

You want Ryan on Season 70 of IASIP?

@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce not what I meant but why not , we already got the frank Reynonds why not Ryan Reynolds

You could still stay up yet. Maybe Blackburn will get relegated.

Back to having a chance of playing teams like the Blues again after 15 years in Non league is mad 🤪, off to give my head a wobble

Can't wait for that away day just showing how far we have come

Still think you I’ll stay up but it’s gonna be a big season for Wrexham… they will give a big push but it will be tough. Really depends on our summer signings. Playoffs would be great achievement.

He's paid FA tomorrow this successful career in the football league as the referee and lines men have been playing a weird game compared to the other matches I've watches in the past 3 years

It's a city now

And they have been doing it, it’s amazing. They purchased a club but changed lives for the better

@@Reticulosis I am very happy to hear that the community is benefitting.

For Ryan in particular the investment into Wrexham wasn't really about the club per se...at least originally. It was how he could leverage the club to provide a boost to the community. That was his initial focus because he never really cared about sports. You can actually see the moment he becomes a football fan in Season 1 of the documentary. He attended a game at The Racecourse and Wrexham managed to score an equalizer in the last minutes and win the game in injury time. At the end of the match, Ryan was just slumped over in the corner overcome with emotion. Since their takeover North Wales as a whole has benefited. After all Wrexham of all places is now a tourist destination for people from around the world. Those tourists need lodgings to stay in and restaurants to eat at. That means more business for the places in and around Wrexham. Those places will need to hire more staff to cope with the additional business. That means more jobs for the people in and around Wrexham. Those newly employed local people now have more money to spend in and around Wrexham.

@@DS9TREK It will always be a town, no matter what officials say. We don't say "Up the City", it is "Up the Town".

At least with the relegation, Huddersfield gets to co-start in the series next year LOL. What is your nationality, I have been claiming to be the only American-born Huddersfield fan on the planet but maybe that's not quite accurate.

We basically have a lower league in the USL but the US is so focused on the anti club and pro school feeder system it's going to take a jolt to get it all going.

There will be no merging of leagues with relegation/promotion in the US Ever A team owner (very expensively) buys into a League. When have you heard of a capitalist giving money back? Unless MLS has a financial collapse, leaving the sport with a blank slate to rebuild, the best you could hope for is a club affiliated tiered system like Baseball, 2 or 3 development leagues.

🤣🤣🤣Right you are!

Let's hope it changes things now that Ratcliffe will be in charge of the financial aspects of the football section.

Oh look, a comedian. I mean - we all know United are poor. But taking about relegation? Nah pal - you don’t get it.

@@andyc6542 dont be arrogant. leeds were big first time they got relegated. same issues as united, financial and sporting wise. Blackburn got relegated, albeit in a much worse state. Nottingham got it tough after their success. No team is secured from relegation and united has shown a path that could lead to disaster

@@mustplay7212 Arrogant? If you think Manchester United are one of the three worst teams in the league, you're daft. Yes, they're bad. But THAT bad? Come off it.

No dig at Wrexham as I love the story but you might want to look into Luton town, that's already the fairytale. Relegated from the old First Division (top division before premier league started) on the final day before it rebranded, then relegated all the way to the conference league (old name for the national league) after a 30 point deduction and then promoted back to the premier League in 11 years without multimillionaire celebrity owners

@@sexy11legsso many hard luck fairytale stories in English football look at Sunderland etc

Realistically, they won't. It can't happen

@@SVD978 It's happened a lot of times, when I first started watching the Premiership Oldham Athletic and Swindon Town were in the Prem. These days Oldham are in the National League and Swindon are only one league above them in league 2, Wrexham are already ahead of both of those clubs. They have a fan catchment area of the whole of North Wales, international fans coming over thanks to the TV show exposure which opens up another revenue stream, the owners make stadium improvements and community involvement a top priority and acquire players very sensibly and don't rush or splash crazy money for overpriced overhyped players. I'm sure if you asked the majority of Luton Town fans who when they got relegated from the football league in 2009 and nearly bankrupted would believe you if you said that you will be playing Premiership football by 2023. Swansea City came one game away from getting relegated to the football league but fans took over the club and began to run it sensibly making steady progress until they made the Premiership and won a League Cup , there are dozens of other examples of this. Wrexham have a great chance of making the Premiership and could do so by the end of this decade if they continue to build as well as they have so far because other teams with less means than them have done it.

@@A-small-amount-of-peas Wrexham needs a huge overhaul if they want to have even the slightest hope of getting to the prem. And I'm not just talking about the players either. It's 100% not going to happen.

This interview took place weeks ago. It wasn't posted till now because it's being used to help promote the new season of Welcome to Wrexham.

I have the same being a Feyenoord supporter ;) Mondays can be cruel...but I love my team

In 5-8 years you won’t have to imagine anything 😎

Well Brighton, Bournemouth and Fulham were one in league 2 so it’s possible.

People said the same thing about Luton

Need more money but doable

They know people and how to work with them to achieve a vision.

The joys of playing in a real contest not an Exhibition League!!

Rob steered him in the right direction.

And prior to that we had Third Divisions North and South. Wrexham spent many many seasons in Third Division North.

Ah nice, wasn't sure Wrexham had been that high, that's great.

I still call them division 2, 3, etc. Anything else is stupid

it's even more confusing because the term 'championship' might even be considered to sound more elite than the 'premier league'. While premier might suggest the top-ranked or the foremost league, championship suggests a league of champions. Not a strange argument as the highest level of club football is even called the Champions League! So the naming is all very confusing.

Financial doping is the way to do it? I am not saying I don’t agree or don’t like them.. they have done wonders to a historic club and I am fine with that.. but let’s not pretend it is something it isn’t

Na, a strong team within league one is definately within their budget, especially with veterans like Fletcher willing to take a huge discount to ride the Wrexham wave. It's the Championship where the rub meets the accountant. They will have to get such very rich investors then to even have a crack at the Premier League. But they seem to be making them, and don't forget billionaire Taylor Swift is Ryan's wife close friend, and Rob is becoming friends with the Kelce's.

Rob steered him correctly.

Don't expect them to know anything about football...they are just US millionaires looking for a toy

Wasn’t League Two called division three up until 2005?

@@lloydmarshall8563 it was division 4

@@cindyfandtx1337 that was pre 1992 e (I’m just about old enough to remember the pre premier league era). My first Stockport game was February 1997 and I recall it being in what was then called Nationwide Football League Division Two (now League One). Nationwide Building Society was the sponsor back then.

League 1 is the 3rd tier. 1. Premier League 2. Championship 3. League One 4. League Two 5. National League

The editing process takes times to get final cut imo just like Drive to survive in Netflix when they release it next year after season finished. So the answer is yes and no cause part of editing is getting affirmation to everything not just film crew/producer or owner which is Rob and Ryan.

@@bimapriambada1098do you think some mid season episodes would be nice? State of the team episodes for instance.

Yeah, I understand that editing takes time, and I don't really mind how it is now, I was just curious if EFL has some rule about it.

yes.

@@michaelsnyder6922 Idk to be honest. Because this is documentary series so everything is different like stripping TV-series like The Office, Always Sunny or Keeping up with Kardashian thing when you can release 2-3 months after filming process.

They were in the championship one league below the Premiership in the 70's.

@@123bwlch They were in the Football League Second Division, later named First Division, for a few years but that´s not the Championship even if the tiers line up. The EFL Championship will be new ground in a few years due to the systems being uncomparable due to too many reforms.

@@residentgrigo4701 Which is the second tier of english football, named as the championship - Arfon Griffiths took over as player-manager for the 1977-78 season. They reached both the League and FA Cup quarter-finals that season, and Wrexham finally clinched promotion to the second division when they beat Rotherham United 7-1 at a packed Racecourse

@@residentgrigo4701 eh the biggest difference being in name only

​@@residentgrigo4701"does a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?" The old second division/Championship are the same thing

Their wives are hooked as much as they are. So I don't think it's going to be a problem.

That's basically all sport is. It's easy to forget sometimes but football is a game.

Have you watched the show?

well.. thats kinda how it works doesn't it? It doesnt get easier at the top!

americans pronounce both words the same, get over it

ironically show came out the day u posted this.

Do they need to finish top of the table in order to be promoted?

@@kiloDelta-wo6gm I don't know but I think they will be mid table.

​@@kiloDelta-wo6gmThe first two places get a direct promotion to the Championship. Place 3-6 play a playoff for 3rd promotion.

Top 10 would be quite an achievement but this team always surprises me and playoffs are not out of the question!

I'd be happy with that 😊​@@saturdaysequalsyouth

Most tied up in shares probably. No one has such money in bank

dry your tears, it's ok baba.

It's on Disney Plus in the UK.

Rob's been on FX for years and it gets them on Hulu and Disney+ here in America. Their main audience is the US, not the UK

Nah - but I expect them to take some time to get out of League 1 before being a Championship staple club, but never making the Premier League

@@temujanradari1105 Never is a strong word when you're talking about this sport. Dont get me wrong It's unlikely they will get there any time soon but football is WAY too unpredictable and chaotic so you should no better than to make any sort of concrete statement like that.

@@jaysheriffe6292 Premier League at Kenilworth Road this season - so anything is possible!

Who?

@@EKT209 Stockport County FC the team who Wrexham beat 2-1 last game of the season, the team who beat Wrecsam 5-0 earlier in the season, and the team who finished in first place 4 points ahead of The Red Dragons in the EFL League Two this season.

Yeah sorry mate they were in that league for a couple years and had a stronger squad and bigger budget than Wrexham not much to talk about. Wrexham is b2b however so that's more interesting

@@striderwhiston9897 Stronger squad? Probably. Bigger budget? Absolutely not.

@@Elladis366 The total amount spent over the previous few transfer windows was far more for Stockport than it was Wrexham, not to mention Stockports owner is almost certainly richer than rob and ryan combined, even after ryan sold his portion of t mobile.

yet you still click on these videos to hate watch...sad existance tbh.

Hating mofo

@@dcor_nothing3914 no just being realistic, league 1 is not easy ask Portsmouth

BS

Parky got 2 teams out of L1 and they are already the best-funded team in that league without having entered it. And that is before the summer turnover and the US/Kanada tour and the Mexican investment that just went through. L1 can be done in just a few years. Tito did the math and came up with 3.3 for L2 and 4.5 for L1. They will do it faster again, just not next season. The Championship is another problem. They will need new everything and a comical amount of money to exit it.

@@residentgrigo4701 😂 there are championship teams that are relegated with a way bigger budget, it will take years to get out of this league. They’re More likely get relegated. Doesn’t matter if the owners are rich, they can’t spend over their tiny budget.

She's just Kate. You only get a prince or princess in front of your name if one of your parents or grandparents is on the throne. Kate's parents are commers.

Keep medieval monarchies out of football

@@ericbrown1101 Excellent.

LOL neither of them are even close to being a billionaire

Ryan is, just barely but still...

Thank goodness.
