Summary – Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham takeover goes from dream to meme-worthy Premier League target.,
Article –
When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham AFC in 2021, Premier League football was as distant as a Wi-Fi signal at a remote cabin. Fast forward to now, and suddenly their underdog club is not just a dream; it’s a target — probably for rival fans and bewildered Wi-Fi routers alike. Grab your popcorn (or soccer ball if you’re into that), because this takeover tale is juicier than a pineapple in a fruit basket at a vegan potluck.
The Real Scoop (Seriously)
Ryan and Rob officially became the owners of Wrexham AFC in late 2020, with the transfer kicking into gear in early 2021. Their goal? To take this Welsh football club from near obscurity to the bright lights of the Premier League. Sources whispering through the grapevine (or rather, a lighting assistant’s cousin’s barber) confirm their passion is less “sports moguls” and more “two comedians confused by all this soccer jargon.” An insider even revealed, “They spent a 30-minute meeting trying to figure out what a ‘nutmeg’ means in football. Spoiler: it’s not a spice!”
Internet Meltdown & Meme-Quake
The internet reacted like someone just announced that Bigfoot would referee the next World Cup. Memes exploded faster than Ryan’s budget on artisanal coffee. Fans created petition hashtags like:
- #BringBackTheGoalkeeperGloves
- #JusticeForTheOffsideRule
Demanding clarity on Wrexham’s sky-high ambitions. According to an extremely scientific poll of three internet users, 98% believe Ryan should just stick to Deadpool, while 2% are convinced this is the greatest plot twist since The Mandalorian revealed Baby Yoda’s real face.
Conspiracy Corner
Anonymous insiders (probably the club’s snack lady) suggest that this Premier League dream is secretly a cover-up for Ryan and Rob’s ulterior motives: launching a new line of football-themed gin called “Pitch Perfect.” The official club statement “aims to build a legacy,” but our spy swears the real legacy involves navy blue robes and a championship ring shaped like a giant rugby ball. Could ownership be just a side hustle? Only the Wi-Fi knows now.
If Producers Went Full Banana
Imagine if Ryan and Rob treated their ownership like a film production gone haywire. Picture this:
- Halftime musical numbers
- Surprise celebrity guest referees
- A new mascot who’s actually a talking squirrel with a sarcastic British accent
Reality TV cameras would follow every mis-kick and victory dance. The club’s official Twitter might just start live-tweeting training sessions with emojis instead of stats (because, why not?). If this sounds crazy, wait until they reveal their secret weapon: a motivational speech delivered entirely in Deadpool’s voice, complete with inappropriate jokes and witty banter.
Roll Credits… Or Do They?
Though the journey from modest Welsh club to Premier League stardom reads like a script banged out at 3 a.m. on a caffeine high, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are in it for the long haul — or at least until they figure out what a VAR really is. With new investments, fan engagement, and more memes than you can shake a foam finger at, Wrexham is the closest thing football has to a blockbuster hit. Stay tuned for sequels, spin-offs, and possibly a musical titled “Goal! The Ryan & Rob Story.”
