Fear not, Wrexham fans! Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney insist they’ll never get ‘bored’ of co-owning club as they’re now ‘addicted’ to football

  • Reynolds and McElhenney thriving at Wrexham
  • Insist they won't get bored of the club
  • And have become addicted to football

WHAT HAPPENED? Reynolds and McElhenney have spoken about their commitment to Wrexham after seeing the Red Dragons win the National League title and secure automatic promotion to the Football League. The duo took over the club in 2021 and told the Fearless in Devotion podcast that they have fallen in love with the sport.

WHAT THEY SAID: "I find it fascinating there are people who assume this could ever be boring in any stretch of the imagination," said McElhenney. "The things we have done and felt in the last two-and-a-half years just don't exist in our worlds - or any world that I can think of. So getting bored would never be on the list of things that would happen."

Reynolds echoed McElhenney's thoughts and made it clear he's in for the long haul. "We don't pretend it's just salad days ahead. It's a journey," he added. "The great moments we've had so far do not exist without the bad. That's football. It's a heartbreaking sport and I'm addicted to it now and you have to have both."
