Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have bought 156 year old Welsh football club Wrexham AFC
First thing you need to know is Wrexham is a fan-controlled team since 2011 so Reynolds and McElhenney had to submit an initial “vote of interest” to the Wrexham Supporters Trust who voted 97.5% in favor of their bid.
After being approved to present their case for ownership, the Hollywood duo held a group video call with the 2,000+ members of Wrexham’s ownership group to present their financial offer.
The Hollywood duo will invest $2.6m into the club to pay for players and facilities as well as sign a 25 year stadium lease for $150k a year.
The news took the football world by storm and here is a collection of some of the best Tweets and reactions.
