- Ryan Reynolds is being called a genius for the smartest sports deal ever! Ryan bought Wrexham AFC for $2.5 million in 2020 even though they sat in the fifth league of English football. Ryan planned to use his celebrity status and creative marketing to bring the club to a new level and his plan was unreal! Ryan produced a docuseries that followed his team and the team’s journey back to winning. The first season was an immediate success and it introduced millions of fans to the team. Wrexham also benefited financially from the show and the numbers are mind boggling. Wrexham made $3.2 million from the show and the team’s social accounts exploded with 500 million twitter followers and a million Instagram followers. Wrexham then signed a $10 million deal to rename their stadium after a cold brew company. But what happened next changed the club forever, Wrexham won the fifth league title and were promoted to the fourth league for the first time in fifteen years. Ryan has already remade his investment and who knows what will happen next!
Everyone forgets about Rob McElhenney being the person who brought Ryan Reynolds into the Wrexham deal to begin with.
Well said!
OMG give a shit about rob melhenny
Pretty absolutist evaluation, maybe people just didn't know to begin with 🤔
Everyone forget about that English lad who introduce Rob McElhenny to the sport to begin with.
I literally have no idea who this Rob guy is. What's he famous for?
As someone born and raised in Wrexham, Ryan and Rob are now the kings of Wrexham 🏴🏴
It’s a shame they’ve probably never been to a gig at Central Station 😂
@@jordault3321 I'm old enough to remember the ferryman and Martin's nightclub 🤣
Cuz he couldn't afford to buy the ottawa senators hockey team so he went else where somewhere cheaper and of course with his status he brought it up, if this was ANYONE ELSE Wrexham whatever it's called would be where torquay united is and where are they? Out of the league.
Ottawa what ,?Got more world wide fame from this .Ottawa 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Wheres that ?😂
It's weird how life works out. Never knew anything about wrexham a month a go, spent it researching a family member for a woman who was from wrexham and now I see this.
Rob McIlhenney researched soccer clubs and did all the work and then got Ryan involved for the purchase but yeah give all the credit to Reynolds
he's that guy in the show with Charlie Day?
@@Marcoose81yeah, he’s also the developer, writer and creator of that show with Charlie day
I used to really like Reynolds but now it seems he is over exposed.
that's because nobody outside the US knows who that guy is, i only know him as the co-owner of wrexham and that he has some sort of TV show or other.
I'll never forget that scene in Argo (great movie by the way):
" Who are you again?"
"Kevin Harkins"
"HE'S THE MONEY"
Need another explanation? There's a saying where I'm from (I'm an 'Igbo' man from Nigeria): "The one with the straw is whom the herd knows and follows"
Rob and Ryan did this together and then the team still had to execute.
It’s the perfect storm of ownership that cared and could leverage their standing to better everything for everyone involved.
They were able to lure some players aswell with their status which helped a lot.
Ryan didn’t have the idea, Rob McElhenny invited Ryan to be part of his plan.
I bet you the guy who made this short is Canadian.
have you even seen welcome to wrexham?
I mean .. have you seen his face? I give him credit for everything too
but who had the money to bring it ? exactly
Seeking all the praise for being smart when the smart thing was to tie the endeavour to a person with HUGE influence woud have been far less lucrative and therefore less smart.
He can now cry anonymously (relative to a film star) into the pile of money he made.
The story of how sport can improve a community is just so compelling. His partner is the incredible person who brought Ryan into it. This community really needed the positivity.
Ryan Reynolds is a genius for getting involved in Rob McElhenney’s genius move taking over Wrexham AFC. Yes.
Rob who. I didnt know him. I just follow the club because of ryan
@@calebalonsagay7500and thats the problem, keep living your life idolizing celebrities who dont give a shit about you
@calebalonsagay7500 Rob created it's always sunny
@@quiigley928You're replying to a troll.
Ryan is a master flipper. He’s made it a regular thing now. He makes the brand better, and gets out. You can tell he enjoys improving these brands. It’s really awesome.
Probably bought it with some of his Gin money
Listen, Ryan Reynolds clearly LOves Football ( soccer to all you YANKS). THIS IS AN INVESTMENT OF LOVE...TRUST ME....yeh, sure He's made his money back now...but he LOVES football ..and him BUYING this club Wrexham had made him understand it EVEN more ..
The man's a Genius/ great actor and also clearly a secret Brit lover..... ESPECIALLY when it comes to the interest of FOOTBALL. ( Soccer....damn U ruin that game )
Rob is the fire starter, punkin’ instigator!!
He's a Prodigy.
We are proudly showing our ages
dennis system is the trouble starter sadistic fear addicted, its the danger illustrated twisted implication @@barryfinkle1755
Don't sleep on welcome to wrexham! Great show!
Both of those actors and business owners changed the entire game for Wrexham and the lives of everyone there. Literally saved them and turned them into one of the most well known named places in the world within no time at all. Historic really.
Have you seen an increase in American tourists?
@@StoutProperYeah. So I am in University in Manchester and my Tutor is living in Wrecsam and crosses over to teach. But he had shown me accounts/photos of the before and after Rob n Ryan as he used to be able to watch the matches for free and only people that would watch was the locals. But now theres quite a few americans that have ventured over to watch and a few of the americans with Welsh herritiage coming over to see the games.
Im planning to go and watch a game maybe sometime in the coming months or next year as it depends on my uni.
Its only wales ffs sheep shaggers 🤣
@@flynnguest8323 Wrexham ! - you are at University you say ?
@@ernestinehemingway7799 yeah salford in/near manchester
i said Wrecsam as its the Welsh way
Rob just understood the assignment by knowing Ryan would bring publicity back there
Yeah I agree imagine Mike tyson it would go rocket up👍👍👍
500 million Twitter followers 😂 500k more like
Half a million still better than all of us that wasn't put together
They are taking into account Ryans following which he uses to promote Wrexham.....
@jasonconlan3409 that's still way less than 500 mill
@@JasonConlan75 he doesn’t have 500 million followers overall, they got it wrong, not even ronaldo has that many followers and he sits on 108 million
Total number of user on twitter = 396 mil
😂
Rob asked Ryan don’t forget that 😅
Canada is always sunnier than Philadelphia
I am so happy for the people of Wrexham. Rob had a brilliant idea! These two guys are a great team.
All on his own, too. Impressive how much one man can do all by himself. Just him, nobody else. Not a single other person.
Hahaha. I hope that's satire ...Mac would be proud .
Rob and Ryan look like geniuses because they did what most football owners should be doing...hiring the actual people who know what they're doing and giving them the space to accomplish goals.
Them 2 have done brilliant things for Wrexham and brought loads of benefits to the club and local area
Deadpool should wear a Wrexham AFC kit in the next movie. Marketing is key.
Stop giving credit to Ryan. The idea to buy a soccer team was Rob's. Rob however didn't have the funds to buy the team on his own and asked Ryan to go in with him to buy a team. For Ryan the move was a financial one. For Rob it's all about his desire to own a team and get it promoted to the premier league.
So it was Ryan
Lol they ain’t getting promoted to premier league.
@happyChappy96621 If they keep the money waterfall flowing and keep upgrading the talent, then in time it should be possible to make it to the premier league. It's not going to happen overnight, but in 10-20 years with additional funds from outside investors and they more than likely will be in the conversation
He would get the credit because he saw the opportunity and took it and that’s just business even if it wasn’t his idea as sad as it is if your money ain’t where your mouth is there’s no credit get unless you work for it
Nonsense, he could easily afford the 2.5 million. He wanted Ryan's business acumen.
It took people that long to figure that out about Ryan he's the kind of person that Talent thrives to become
That’s phenomenal business for Wrexham FC, looking forward to their rise through the English Leagues, good luck to all involved with the club. ⚽️
He just changed the lives of so many people for the better.
It was all Robs idea Ryan didn't know anything about Wrexham
SHhhhh Rob is happy with the money he wants to remain in the shadows.
the gang cries over mac's lack of recognition
It's smart management and supporting his players and having faith in them
Rob McElhenney is a huge part of this equation
check out the big brain cucking for mac
Can deny that Ryan brought a lot of money, contacts and knowledge about business. But give Rob some credit. It was his idea, his passion for sports and wanting to bring joy to a town that lost all hope in their club.
I am from Wrexham and left 40 years ago returning 3 years ago. People in Wrexham love Wrexham FC and have absolute respect and Familiarity for both Rob Ryan and their families My Grandmother has a seat in memorial as the fan with longest attendance of 77 years.
He’s doing a great job with the football team here in Wrexham 👍👍👍
He also owns a massive telecommunications company, publishing companies, multiple successful alcohol companies, and the digital rights to a decent amount of scripts, and book adaptation rights with his production company, as well. He knows what he's doing.
Poor Rob.
Ryan is a genius at marketing opportunity.
He pioneered the fast marketing approach. Putting together a team to build an advertisement that was aired within a couple of days after a significant viral social news story.
Building off the free social network the viral story already built.
Fosters pen save was a movie moment but fair play to the team too.
God bless Ryan he’s a good man and a good business man.
You realize this never happens if it was for Rob McElhenny .... He started this and made it happen. Can we give him some love
Now i want to follow their growth. Ted would be proud
are you the spirit of andrew cunanan reincarnated? in Versace you lust
Ryan Renold also bought F1 Alpine racing team!
Rob was a huge part of this....huge and his idea in the first place :)
Even more reasons to love Ryan Reynolds!
Just had to give the guys a chance to shine and something to have pride in.
This a real life Ted lasso coming to life
uuuhh nah he doesn't manage the team mate, but what he has is a platform and status to bring in players that would never have previously joined and a way to get americans involved in a team. Everyone loves an underdog story and they are both making it happen.
As somebody from wrexham i am proud to see the popularity!
It wasn't just Ryan.
This man is a legend, big up Wrexham, good luck for the new season,
Just good people doing good things.
I'm not sure it was pre-planned from the start, but the way they do this project is genius.
He did this with mint mobile too
Dude really is a bloody genius...Aviator Gin...Wrexham....he has a great business & marketing sense
Ryan playing career mode
I'm glad at least the people in the comment section know to give Rob the recognition he deserves, It's sad when all the people watching the video know more then the one who uploaded it
I remember on an interview with Ryan talking about how we bought this team and a little afraid to tell his wife
I'm a Wrexham boy born and bred! Ryan is good for Wrexham as a city.
That’s our Canadian boy. Smart,handsome and good heart.
Yeah well our Philly boy was the man with the plan your boy just had money.
Hope Ryan successful bring up Wrexham to the top division one day
Football not soccer
Its soccer or football stop being a whiner
Nah soccer don’t make sense football does cuz you kick a BALL with a FOOT
@@adoths Soccer is a slang abbreviation of the word "association" because the code of football is association football, which British players of the time adapted as "assoc," "assoccer," and eventually as "soccer" or soccer football. So soccer is fine. The people who invented the game, the British, called it soccer. Americans didn't invent the term.
Don’t care it’s football not soccer
@@adoths you can care or not care and the fact will still remain that it's soccer or football. But go and be thankful that you now know why it is ignoramus.
Ryan Reynolds has to be the best person at using his celebrity efficiently
It's football not soccer
It helps motivate the team and the team made the effort to win. Now it's going to take shrewd picks to take the team higher. 🎉
Anything Ryan touches turns to, maybe not gold necessarily , but something precious... like an unexpected blowie in the shower
LMFAO!!!
It's a good show hard fought and worthy of success 🙌
Pin this comment, if you think it’s Called FutBol ❤
Sounds like Rob & Ryan are a good team 👏
This alone, proves the point
That’s social media doesn’t provide the facts for everyone .
Some voiceover just literally changed the minds of about 20,000 people .
Damn Ryan, that is smart. So cool that he did it all by himself without any help. Crazy how he can just jump into this and dominate, with only his wits to guide him. Respect.
Hahahaha no, Wrexham have gone from being the 105 best team in England to about the 90th. They have started the new season fairly badly however this could change. They haven't made any money out of Wrexham it's all put back into the club. Unfortunately to even get to the next league and challenge they will need 10s of millions more. A good example is the former Disney CEO Michael Eisner who is a billionaire owns Portsmouth FC in the third league (about the 50th best team). Even as a billionaire he hasn't been able to get them up.
There doing great because they believe in Wrexham & the people have something to fight for, the Welsh rugby needs this belief back 🏴
People don't seem to realize how much having fans does for sports teams
Bro what software are you using to edit these videos, it's awesome
Because of Rob McElhenny and Ryan I now support the Philidelphia eagles to return thr favour as they had helped a struggling club in my nation and even tho im south Walian I still love Wrecsam. Thanks Rob for the Idea and Thanks Ryan for the money
Ryan one hell of a business man.
It's so smart that anyone with 3 million and a successful movie career could do it!
He's still got a ways to go to match David Beckhams American team investment. But it's early days and plenty of growth potential. So good on you Mr. Reynolds. Wishing you good fortune, not that you need it. You doin just fine.
Life is simple guys.. You only need a Ryan Reynolds to success in life..
I've never seen any of these. i did watch how it was made when i was a child.
He just did what every club are doing the past 6/7 years now and the premier league, as a whole, for 15 years
Ryan is a great guy I love him in dead pool. His wit is amazing. Lucky wife🙏
This proves that if you support even the weakest, smallest entities (both financially and professionally), they can achieve astonishing things.
Ryan legitimately stays winning
he has done this with a few companies -- here he bought a small cellular company and been doing crazy TV ads for it.
I literally see him and his partner's event Commercial on my tv every time
Great! Got money, got fame…use it…for the sport, for the comunity. All the best Wrexham, see you in PL very soon, hopefuly! Greatings from Wes Ham fan! COYI
He's about to do the same thing with a f1 team.... only this time a bunch of other A-list celebs jumped on board too. Reynolds is a genius for sure!!
An immediate success that I have never seen or heard of and I life fifty miles away ......
Wrexham got promoted from league 2 and now they are sitting 2nd in League 1😮😮
Wow! How knowing the right people at the right time! Rob, you're a genius!
Funny thing: Twitter has round 340 mil users, but Wrexham somehow managed to get 500 mil tweeter followers. This Ryan is truly a magician.
He shows up for games...even me an Arsenal fan was interested in Wrexham and was happy when they won.
The number of times I've had beers in the Turf and now Hollywood is always in there, lol
proud to be from wrexham
So glad Rob is getting the acknowledgment he deserves in the comments
I'm convinced Ryan Reynolds has the Midas touch. If given the chance, he could probably make Bud Light #1 selling beer again
Damn I remember when he bought that team. That's a quick turnaround.
5th league to the 4th had me rolling stick to baseball
Swansea City AFC, that was pretty good investment too in January 2002
It’s kinda cool that besides being a actor he’s also a business owner
It doesnt matter who got the idea🤷♂️It turned out great for Wrexham⚽️✌️Congrats on winning the 5 league Wrexham🥇🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😊Great too see them make the Premier
People are mesmerized by celebrities
Was a funny documentary too. Or whatever youd want to call it. But i swear i love the fans passion for their team. it was great. Generally funny and very interesting.
Its business but the feelings they have shows how it is
