The Hollywood takeover, followed by a fairytale script.
It's been just over two years since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their unlikely takeover of Wrexham FC. Two global movie stars, a non-league club in North Wales, a £2 million fee and a subsequent DVD series on the saga. Had the narrative been presented to an actual film director, he would have lamented its obscurity and discarded the paper.
But here with are, with Wrexham on the brink of promotion to League Two, with their story suddenly captivating a nation. And their new American messiahs are doing anything but simply orchestrating things from afar. Animated at games, conversing with the community, and well on the way to delivering the promises made upon their purchase.
