Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney hailed for 'transforming' Wrexham as Hollywood owners get surprise mention in House of Commons

League One

Wrexham

Mansfield

<p>When Reynolds and McElhenney invested in Wrexham, few would have predicted the profound impact their ownership would have on the club. With a rich legacy as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/phil-parkinson-wrexham-league-one-clash-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt349b7637b7a09a36" target="_blank">third-oldest professional football club</a> in the world, the Welsh club holds a special place in football history. However, before the Hollywood stars’ arrival, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-break-hard-promise-major-change-to-modernise-club/blta7796e93676367ec" target="_blank">they had endured a 15-year absence</a> from the English Football League. Now, with two consecutive promotions and a first league title in 45 years, the club is thriving once more in League One. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Beyond the pitch, Reynolds and McElhenney have made meaningful strides in connecting with Wrexham’s people and culture. Just last week, the pair demonstrated their dedication to the area by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-announce-purchase-wrexham-lager-brewery-hilarious-silent-video/blt63fcd1d4df7f8421" target="_blank">purchasing Wrexham Lager,</a> further embedding themselves within the community. Wrexham fans expressed immense satisfaction with the duo’s decision to support local businesses, highlighting how Reynolds and McElhenney’s involvement extends beyond the typical boundaries of club ownership.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ranger acknowledged this community-focused approach in his speech, explaining that the Hollywood stars have truly taken Wrexham “to their hearts.” </p><p>"Of course, I could not talk about Wrexham and not mention football," he said.</p><p>"Wrexham is a team transformed, since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club a few years ago. The difference they have made to the club and to Wrexham in just a short time is remarkable—back in the Football League after a 15-year absence, our first league title in 45 years, and back-to-back promotions."</p><p>During his address, Ranger reflected on Wrexham’s storied history, humorously drawing a comparison to the Arsenal fans seated around him in Parliament. In his remarks, he alluded to Wrexham’s 1992 FA Cup triumph over then-first-division champions Arsenal, an iconic match that solidified the team’s status as “giant killers.”</p><p>"Much in the spotlight recently, the club has an illustrious history," he began. "I know that certain Members of the House are Arsenal supporters, and in Wrexham, we still take great pride in knocking out the then first division champions from the FA cup in 1992 and earning a reputation as giant killers."</p><p></p><p></p>

WHAT RANGER SAID

<p>Wrexham’s upcoming match at the Racecourse this Saturday against Mansfield Town offers yet another opportunity for fans to rally behind their beloved team. They are third in the standings and a victory will keep them on the hills of Wycombe and Birmingham. </p>
