BridportOwl Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 I have a lot of time for Wrexham, my dad has lived nearby for 30 odd years so I have been down there a ton of times. They have had some proper incompetent owners in the past few years. I understand the cynical folk moaning away, but I am proper happy for them. Had a few messages from old friends tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why?? 15 years in non-league then eventually get out by vastly outspending everybody else and players like Mullin pretending they didn't go there for the money, is national news and some sort of magical fairy story, apparently. Would it be on the news if local businessmen Bill and Fred Jones had put the same amount of money in and got the same results as Deadpool and that other actor that hardly anybody over here had heard of until he came to Wrexham? There's your answer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVDA Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Unfortunately- for other sides in the lower tiers - Ryan Reynolds is really quite extremely wealthy due to various, successful, business concerns on top of his Hollywood wages. Wouldnt surprise me to see them in the Premier League in the next 5 - 10 years if Reynolds et al. are really committed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 It’s great to see two Americans take such an interest in our game, especially celebrities who have got a million and one other duties to attend to, but the passion and commitment is clear to see But in terms of them winning the league, they basically bought the bloody thing hardly a huge achievement when you can throw £1.2m on transfers in the national league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Ridiculous all the coverage they’re getting. I wish Notts County won that league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The Disney documentary is very cheesy, and it annoys me to see useless divs like Shaun Harvey, who did bugger all as head of the EFL, in the limelight. Their business model is basically to leverage the huge fame of their owners for revenue. Personally I would like to see them struggle next season, but it wouldn't shock me to see them competing near the top again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could throw a right load of money to not get too far… like so many others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I have heard tell of wealthy individuals who know very little or nothing about football buying clubs as playthings, spending far more money than Wrexham have, and ending up with said clubs in piles of debt a division lower than they started, with absolutely nothing to show for it. So I wouldn't criticise these two too much. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 They've done a good job...but the level of coverage is so OTT. Have no doubt they will be featured heavily on Sky next season in League Two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
