The issue is Wrexham as a club was too big for the national League, they were a league one or two club in size but had been ruined by previous owners. Then you have Hollywood owners take them over and people get jealous. Remember that what Wrexham's done ain't easy. Remember Salford?...

Gotta love DMac’s endless supply of kits 💀😂

In the simplest of terms; they aren’t treating the club like a business, they are treating the Wrexham area as a life time investment. They aren’t just throwing money at the club - they’re improving the quality of life. Yes frustrating for opposition and potentially they have been a little brash in the transfer market but at the end of the day they’re adding value to football not just taking it out… like a lot of premier league owners, and other big European leagues. Kudos to them, shame more owners aren’t so involved.

You can’t hate on Wrexham. They’ve had a miserable time in the last 20 years. It’s all jealousy, though it shows that, for many clubs, rich owners stepping in is the only way out of a vicious downward spiral. Sad, but true.

Ryan and Rob are two class acts. People can say they bought the club for their own benefit (but every owner owns them for their own benefit), but they have really embraced the town and the history and vice-versa. This is not like some saudi prince buying a club to launder their money

People can say they’ve got a massive budget compared to other teams but it’s about how you spend the money and Wrexham spent it really well.

Stockport County also deserve their flowers. They were in ruins, dropping to the 6th tier of English football. Now they're League Two Champions. Congratulations to Wrexham, owners do genuinely care. Stockport deserve their flowers for winning the league and Mansfield too for their own promotion. 😁

as a reading fc fan I WISH OUR OWNERS CARED ABOUT US 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I don't see the hate. I think the story of Wrexham should be celebrated. The game between Wrexham v Notts County was legendary and plus Ben Foster doing vlogs for Wrexham has helped the club so much for gaining attention and sponsors. So I think it's great in my opinion

Loving it. Let them do their thing, because jealousy is not pretty. The owners are lifting not only the team and the club, but the whole town of Wrexham to a better place, and there is nothing wrong with that.

McElhenny and Reynolds are the cleanest and most caring foreign owners you could ever have. The people complaining will complain no matter what so honestly just ignore them. Congratulations Wrexham!

I think Wrexham shouldn't deserve all the hate, they didn't sign mega stars just to facilitate the growth of the club and they are slowly improving just like any team. I can't understand the hate of the financial advantage but at least they aren't spending it like Saudi/mancity/psg.

Dunno how much Ryan and Rob spent on the club but the boom money came from good marketting in digital media aided by the fame of the owners. They got money from selling their brand so seems fair to me. Lets see how far they go

As they say, all fair in love and war. Ryan Reynold is a well known personality in hollywood. It'll be dumb not to use that to their advantage. As long as its not something shady like doping or ref buying

If it were their club, they wouldn't be complaining 😂

People are just jealous that their club wasn’t picked for investment. The celebrity owners really look after the players. If the players have side gigs, the owners support and open doors for them. That’s genuine care. You can’t hate that.

I understand hating how much coverage they get but hating on a club because their owners are good people and want to build the club up is crazy

Portsmouth FINALLY got promoted holy shit

So when the big clubs are bought and have a financial advantage no one says anything, but when a small club does it its bad... Ppl make no sense.

The thing that separates Ryan and Rob from other Yankee owners is a that they actually have passion for the club

I think its also good for other clubs in league 1/2 , national league and championship because there are more people watching lower England's league because of wrexham

i love how series shows the people in the town as well as the mens and womens team

There's nothing illegal or unethical about Wrexham rise. It just shows what happened in life when money + competency + opportunity = success

Maybe billionaires shouldn’t be so non personable and unpassionate. It’s just marketing genius.

They just be hatin I love the club hope more succes to them

They did a good job to help become promote lower league football and from the Netflix series we can see the dedication that the owners put in help the club grow and promote to higher tier. 😊🎉

Money alone doesn't buy success. You need people who know what to do with it.

In every league there’s always a club that has a financial superpower and Wrexham aren’t the first. Chelsea spent over a billion pounds to get worse. It’s not about how much you spend it’s about how much they are willing to adapt, learn and fight for the name and badge of the club. I love what Wrexham AFC is doing. It’s unfortunate other clubs in those leagues don’t have owners like WAFC but how is it their fault that the other club owners aren’t as rich or richer than but just not ambitious enough. The club is one of the oldest in the world and their fans deserve to see them play in the top leagues where they feel like they belong. This is what the owners of WAFC are trying to achieve by all means possible.

The real ted lasso story

So theyre complaining about improving the EFL both competitive wise and money wise nah bro💀

And Stockport have beat them to the league at every chance since 2021/22 National League 2023/24 League Two

Wrexham’s got nothing on Stockport. Local investment and an incredible loyal fan base. Stockport County are the real success story.

They raised the profile of the EFL much higher than it should. They got Americans to care about the National League. And the docuseries admittedly had too much focus on Rob anf Ryan but it also showed the other clubs in the system. The focus on Notts County and their promotion fight was amazing. When they get to the Championship, which I think they will, they’ll have a whole slew of interesting teams for better storytelling.

I was gonna say that they aren't spending ridiculously, they are investing in infrastructure and helping them grow. people want to be there

Let’s go WREXHAM!!!❤

nah those who argue their success are just salty, unlike the bigger clubs, wrexham owners are not brainlessly buying players that has a high price mark, instead they went for the stable route using their funds correctly, there are already clubs before them that was taken over by millionaires but still failed.

it made me actually pay attention to lower league football for the first time really ever! i’ve been following ryan tafazolli now with Wycombe Wanderers for a while, and now just finished the sunderland netflix docuseries and gonna be checking them out more too!

*People when owners take over and don't care about their club:* _Clueless pricks who only care about the money, they're destroying the club, get them gone._ *People when owners take over and properly run the club, bringing them success:* _They're ruining football, they have an unfair finantial advantage, it's a disgrace._ _In other words, it's only ok for a Rise to happen after a take over if the club only does slightly better than they did before, but remains mediocre._ _It's not like Wrexham are doing shit like Man City or PSG, where they're using their finantial power to break rules and benefit from it without being punished, both Rob and Ryan have done brilliant things for the club and community surrounding the club without any shady business, they deserve all the success they're getting._

Deadpool is coming to save football 😂😂

womp womp, the hollywood boys care about the culture and respect it deeply and want to learn it and they are giving those fans so much joy, and doin it fairly

7th day of saying that you should make a video about macca(macallister) in liverpool! Has been amazing this season!

As a SPURS's fan i hoped our club back to the be the beast

I love Wrexham's story. The fact that Ryan Reynolds is a marketing genius helped them tremendously. Let's not forget that it was their own money they put up to fix up the pitch, hire the management staff and coaches. It was not looking good for anyone at the of the first season, so kudos to the players and staff for making miracles happen. UP THE TOWN !!! ❤❤❤😊

It definitely encouraged me to take a look at division five football when before I wasn’t that interested.

Both of them respect the club, the city, the tradition, but what the most important thing is, they respect the people. Of course you need money, Wrexham deserves to raise up again! Nice greetings from Germany❤

love them and in FM22 I got them to the Premeir leage in 5 won the Europa Conference league winners in my first season in Prem (I won the league cup whilst in Championship) and in my 8th season I won the premiership.

This is what the big teams do to stay in the big leagues, gotta respect the team

What financial advantage? If you compare Wrexham with EPL or English 2nd tier league teams, they are still not a 'Rich' club. The owner simply willing to invest more in the team. Many club owners are richer than them, but it is called high risk, high return which we all have listened. Wrexham owners simply managed to run their club well and believed in their players.

I could understand the jealousy more if it was a club who had never played played in the EFL, but Wrexham were a good side when I was a kid and played as high as tier 2 briefly, even famously knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup once, a lot of what's happening now is returning them to their rightful home after a long period of terrible ownership where they came very close to disappearing as a club altogether, I couldn't be happier for Wrexham and can't wait for them to be the best side in Wales.... again!

As a Canadian. I love it

I love it, I’m from the US and the way Rob and Ryan approached building the team is how you get good teams in the us in American football and that’s forking out the money and they have done it with back to back leaving up hell yeah. US boys know how to win in sports

As a Californian who, was aware of, but knew very little (almost nothing about anything below the epl). I'm am far most familiar and have much more respects for clubs in the championship, league1 and and League 2. I have far more respect and appreciation for clubs like Stockport County, Notts County, and Crawley Town just to name a few. These lower leagues are far more marketable than we would have known.

Jealousy is a bitch. It’s a great story seeing Wrexham.

I do not watch the documentury for the football anymore, i watch it for all they show us about wales and the town.

They're just jealous quite frankly and I don't blame them some of the owners are absolutely horrendous down there.

They wouldn't hate on them if it was their own clubs

The haters are just jealous… Rob and Ryan are in it for the right reasons. They breathed new life into the Wrexham community, not just the football team (men and women). This is an awesome story, and I cannot wait to watch the next chapters!!!

STOCKPORT COUNTY OH WE LOVE YOU STOCKPORT COUNTY WERE THE BOYS IN BLUE CHAMPIONS AGAIN OLE OLE🎉

Not a fan of wrexham but I love the series and want to see them get promoted higher, Ryan and Rob genuinely care about the club and the town, people can hate, but mainly because it’s not happening to their club.

How are Wrexham any different than Man City? One club is being applauded for the excact same business model as where the other is shamed for 😂

for me is simple: people hate what they dont have

Financial advantage isn’t a fair criticism unless it’s owners simply injecting money. The financial advantage with Wrexham is legitimate: the owners raised the profile of the club, marketed the club, and now can command deals worth more due to that higher coverage. The reality is that TikTok pay to be on the show and the documentary, and every news article about it, rather than to be seen at a 4th division stadium or on one of the few games that might be televised each year. They have a financial advantage because they generate a whole additional, highly lucrative revenue stream that dwarfs the “traditional” one.

We live in an age where people find something to hate no matter what. It’s cool story. I think the real challenge starts next season with league one hopefully they make it to the championship

point is Wrexham shouldn't even have been in the non league to begin with ... the fault of it was on the former owner of the team who tried to ruin the club and sell the club's stadium basically behind the clubs back as an example ( I don't know the full story of it but I gave an example of what was wrong with former owners ) Rob and Ryan however they do care about the club, the city / town of Wrexham to and the public around the club or whatever the word for it is

The other club fans wouldn't be saying that if it was them 😂

EPL fans are mad of Wrexham's financial advantage? Well thats ironic

I think they will get promoted again

When you look from a distance, the doc. film is simply an "american dream", only made in Wales.

Efl fans should deal with it, we have man city

Real life version of ted lasso🤣🤣

"Sunderland Til I Die" is a good watch. Ask Sunderland fans if they wish they'd have Wrexham's owners.

It's fortunate to have owners with a vision. Wrexham deserves it!

Right but if this happened to their club they wouldn’t be complaining

I have heard a Real Madrid fan tell me how they are just buying their way up. I just stared at him for the blatant hypocrisy.

Wrexham is my favorite club to play in Football Manager, so I'm happy with their rise.

Any club, who hates what Wrexham have achieved, are only jealous that it hasn’t happened to them. Most towns would give up everything to have such loving owners come in and surge their club forward.

It does wonders when you get owners that give a Sh!t about the clubs well being and actually want it to succeed

Poor Mansfield Town. A proper working class club in a former mining town in North Nottinghamshire; they’ve had to scratch and claw, losing playoff finals, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion time and time again. Only for this year, with a patchwork defence held together with sticky tape and pure guts… FINALLY managing to secure that elusive automatic promotion spot. This wonderful story is entirely overshadowed by Wrexham who use their Hollywood money to just buy themselves out of non-league and out of league 1. It’s so anti-football. And you know what? It’s not fair.

They should just double down and get the same shirt sponsor as Brentford and have a big Hollywood printed across their shirts 😂

If they hate the financial advantage Wrexham has. Wait until they hear about the Premier League.

The same people complaining about they putting touch into the club would complain if they did the opposite too, you just can't please haters, they live to hate

Im a fan of a historic EFL team, and I look at wrexham and couldn’t care less that they are the 3rd oldest club, they weren’t an EFL founding member like us, haven’t spent 7 and a half decades in the top flight, competed in the Europa League and they don’t have 4 FA Cups. They are a tinpot side, from a tinpot country (Wales) and had they not been bought would not be where they are. They are a disgrace to the EFL, and shouldn’t be allowed to just climb up the divisions like this. RIP to Football, killed by CFC, MCFC, MKDONS, SALFORD, NUFC, and now WREXHAM.

It's jealousy that's all it really is. Becuase we know if they have done this with their team in the national league. They would have no issue with it.

Emirates: Call me when you need me. Abu Dhabi: And me. Qatar: And me. Bahrain: And me. Saudi: Meme.

I’m not a Wrexham fan but even I watch an odd video here and there to see how they are going. Owners that are actual fans what’s wrong with that.

Crazy how they don’t talk about City this way

Thats whole point of promotion.... Tgey move up until they are among clubs that compete at same lvl idk how its hard to understand

Forget about the team badge and history for a moment. This story should happen again and again with multiple other clubs. Put the finances back into the football system as a whole. All the money sits at the top and in the lower leagues people just maintain the status quo and exist. Teams get poorly managed and finances go upside down. The end result is less football. Less affordable football for average ‘local’ people who don’t support the big 6 etc. and for the country where the sport and the leagues started that is the biggest shame. Keep the game alive. Keep the communities going. Doing what Rob and and Ryan have done can give other teams more than a fair fighting chance at promotion and glory. Then ultimately the fans who have supported their local sides their whole lives can reap the rewards and the special memories.

To me, this seems like people getting mad Wrexham comes up from the fifth tier, beating the teams they support, and dominating. This ain't EAFC. This is real life. There's no pay to win mechanic or microtransactions. Just two people buying a club and transforming it from a failure to a success.

what is the background music?

Anything that happened ever has controversy

Lots of fans in the lower leagues have to put up with awful owners, so I understand the jealousy.

Wrexham was a EFL team before their owners ruined them and now they have good owners and they are back. Any hate is (understandable) jealousy, but imagine being a premier league fan complaining about the owners spending too much money

Nobody can complain about Wrexham, they are an old club with a loyal fanbase, and their owners clearly care about the club too

I think the same people praise it when the oil money comes in and buys there club. This is actually done the right way. These guys actually care.

I’ve seen a lot of ppl say that Wrexham are a great side and are very astonished about how they’ve gone up but I’ve said that their team was better than some league 1 teams they should’ve gone up and I excpected them to last yr aswell

Rians playing fifa career mode

Why do other fans just hate on success. Good on you wrexham. Let the cry babies cry about it

Other FPL need to grow a pair stop being jealous of good ownership and a team growing. What these 2 are doing is brilliant for Wrexham, Wales and the FPL bringing in a worldwide audience which they didnt have before

Thanks for calling elliot lee a player of high calibre i think he is quite underrated, wish he stayed longer at Charlton though
