HOLLYWOOD stars ryan reynolds and rob Mcelhenney have become the new owners of wrexham after their takeover bid was approved by the national League club’s supporters Trust. wrexham supporters Trust members voted 98.6 per cent in favour to accept the offer of deadpool star reynolds and fellow actor Mcelhenney, who told them last week that they plan to turn the welsh club into a ‘global force’. The proposed takeover could lead to £2million being invested in the club, which has been in fan ownership since 2011, and a netflix-style documentary at the racecourse ground. reynolds and Mcelhenney presented their vision to trust members on november 8 at a virtual meeting and told them they wanted to attend as many games as possible and ‘have a pint with the fans’. The actors both tweeted ‘wrexham is the name’ alongside a crest of the club, which was formed in 1864 and plays in english football’s fifth tier following their relegation from the Football League in 2008. They also appeared in a comic video on the club’s official Twitter account promoting kit sponsor ifor williams Trailers. reynolds said: ‘why am i and rob pitching a north walian trailer manufacturer?’ To which, Mcelhenney replied: ‘well, because we just became owners of wrexham Association Football Club and they are our team sponsors. you may never have heard of wrexham, the racecourse ground or ifor williams, but you will. so to the wrexham supporters Trust, thank you for your faith and trust in us.’ reynolds added: ‘we are humble and we are already getting to work. is this really happening?’ The short video finished with a club song featuring the lyrics: ‘Here they come the mighty champions, raise your voices to the anthem. Marching like a mighty army, wrexham is the name.’
