[Football] Wrexham

Doesnt make it right. Hate the American import. Hope they get battered and relegated.

The American owners of Wrexham have probably invested more into the local area and community than 90% of football club owners. And so you want an otherwise deprived area and community to lose that regeneration possibility? That's a very sad way to think.

I've got a soft spot for them. Many moons ago went there to see The Albion. We got there a bit late to find a pub so straight there.

Walking past their social club I asked if there was any chance of a pint.

The chap on the door shouted over to the bar who duly delivered 3 pints of Wrexham lager free of charge and said welcome to Wrexham.
I'll always remember that, lovely touch.

The net worth figure is just made up internet talk. No-one knows what they are worth. Same with all those estimates.

The Championship will be a huge step up for them. I could see them surviving, but a promotion push will require as much as skill as resources. There's a lot of big names in there.

Reynolds stake in Aviation Gin is a well known story (Aviation Gin was sold for $610m to Diageo in 2020) and with publicly available source material pretty clear. He also had 25% of Mint Mobile which was sold to T Mobile in 2023 for $1.30bln. This alone netted him c$300m.

Big soft spot for Wrexham after the support we have given them in the battle against Guterman (their Archer) and the new regime is completely integrated into the community, not just a far off ego project, so a thoroughly worthwhile event all round
