Rob and Ryan’s behavior is evidence against the nice guy’s finish last idea. Not that that can’t happen, but they show how if you treat people with love and respect, it not only enriches your life, the ripple effects are tremendous. Part of the reason everyone wants to go to Wrexham is they see that Rob and Ryan genuinely care and are helpful. And the more people you can make feel like that, the more doors open in your life, the better partnerships you can build, etc.

I’m a Newcastle fan and we’ve had owners who don’t care and are in it for the money, to now owners who care about the staff and players. I went on a stadium tour at Xmas and someone asked the tour guide how things have changed since the takeover and he said it’s like day and night difference. Meals payed for, more holidays and they show their faces and remember names. They care now. Which encourages not just players but staff aswell. It’s amazing to see 🖤🤍

Very much reminds me of Coach Calipari at University of Kentucky. He's not only produced half the NBA talent he's a genuine and truly nice guy and that's why many players wanna go to UK. I once worked with a guy that was a bench player for Calipari at Memphis and even this guy had kept in touch with Calipari when most coaches barely keep in touch with former starters let alone JUCO transfer bench players.

The nice guys finish last is a sort of on the pitch stuff , you have to play dirty sometimes to win clutch games , you need characters to go for titles which nice guys generally don't have , I don't think the same applies for owners

yeah allowing the side hustles are super important to lower league players too --- it allows them to play football and keep them afloat if successful. That's such an interesting way to keep players happy. Its not for everyone the younger ones might want to focus on getting bought by bigger teams but someone at 30-31 like palmer its like getting a head start on life after football while still doing what you love.

Convincing youngens to come on loan is also way easier for Wrexham. The exposure they can provide for them is higher than most if not all Championship teams. As long as the documentary runs, and if the media hype doesn't completely die, they'll have as much pulling power as a lower end Premier League club (excluding the financial aspect).
@cameronohare4000 11 ай бұрын
Let’s see, all it takes is for a bad run, confidence to drop, thoughts of this fairytale run up the league to end and then they can get stuck in league two. What’s going well for Wrexham, is they came close last year and just missed out, they’ve been there, now they’ve won it, they’ll have confidence in themselves in the good times and the bad.

As an Australian watching the Wrexham revival and wanting to see underdogs succeed can I say that you have both played such a significant role in bringing back what is the essense of sport. You have played at the top level but bringing your knowldege back to grass roots is sooo important. I am not saying Wrexham is grass roots ... but I sort of am saying that. It's what it is all about when a community is involved.

Its our job to match that and I don't see why we can't both continue what we did we have great clubs and great players. The other notts fan talking about IB. I don't believe IB was a bad manager I think forest Green was a sinking ship because of the owners choices I felt he was doing an ok job there for what happened after November if you see Forest green didn't improve after him and just got worst. Anyway I hope we both do the same would love to beat you to it this time

Think Wrexham not only offered Ollie a 3 yr contract they also doubled his Wimbledon wages. Plus Wrexham were already buzzing at the new ownership. That season Wimbledon only needed 3 more points to stay in league 1. We really struggled to score without him. Ollie leaving was a big reason why we went down. Fair play to OP though, most in his position would’ve moved. We missed him, 100%.
