Wrexham owners fear selling amid promotion ambitions

Wrexham AFC has had an impressive journey since being taken over by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2021. They have moved up from the National League to League One and are now aiming for a spot in the Championship. As the team gets closer to top-tier football, concerns are growing about the financial challenges ahead. Reynolds and McElhenney's combined net worth is around $400 million. Many wonder if this will be enough to compete with wealthy clubs in the Premier League. Darren Bent, a former Premier League player, expressed his worries about the club's future. He highlighted that while $400 million seems substantial now, it may not suffice in the higher leagues. Other voices, like TalkSPORT host Andy Goldstein, noted that profit is crucial in football ownership, raising questions about the potential financial gains from selling the club. Despite the concerns, Reynolds and McElhenney still seem committed to Wrexham. The Allyn family has also joined to provide some financial backing. Wrexham supporters are hopeful that their owners will continue to invest in the club's future. However, as the stakes rise, the possibility of a sale could become a pressing issue for the club.
