Both the witty owners planned to revive the club seriously. Welcome to Wrexham
is a good proof of that. But buying a Footclub in pounds is no cheap thrill,
even for Hollywood celebrities. Ryan talks about this and more in his interview.


RYAN REYNOLDS TALKS IN CURRENCY ABOUT HIS WREXHAM CLUB PURCHASE

Reynolds’s love for sports and success as an actor enabled him to invest in his
beloved sport. In an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Wrexham
owners discussed about how they came into purchasing the Wrexham football club.
This is when Reynolds said, “I was hoping Drachmas” as the three discussed about
the Welsh club’s cost and currency of purchase. Drachmas is a former Greek
monetary unit that was later replaced by Euro. While Colbert also added to the
joke that it could’ve been the Lira, a former Italian unit of currency.

As per comedian Rob, ‘superhero money’ was required to afford the club. So when
Stephen estimated it to be costing millions of dollars, the Mystic Quest creator
corrected him that it was actually millions of pounds, which is worth more than
dollars. Now, as successful as he is as a TV show comedian, an A-lister’s
investment was in need. This led him to call his friend and actor for a
pitch-in. Reynolds’s involvement in the business, including the co-ownership of
Mint company has added greatly to his wealth. Thereon, the duo went on to buy
the club for 2 million pounds from the Wrexham Supporters Club (WSC).
