Kevin Nolan names the one ‘most important’ thing Ryan Reynolds has done at Wrexham
This result came after they held Premier League sides Bournemouth and Chelsea to draws, with Phil Parkinson’s men showcasing their talent against superior opposition.
It just demonstrates how far Wrexham have come under the ownership of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, as the Hollywood duo brace themselves for a campaign in League One.
Following back-to-back promotions to the third tier, McElhenney and Reynolds have received enormous plaudits, with former West Ham striker Kevin Nolan sharing what he thinks has been the ‘most important’ element of their tenure.
What crucial thing Ryan Reynolds has done to help Wrexham’s success
When it first emerged that two Hollywood superstars were interested in taking over Wrexham, many felt it was a disaster waiting to happen.
McElhenney and Reynolds arrived in Wales having never owned a football club previously and that usually spells chaos.
Fortunately for Wrexham fans, their ownership has been a resounding success and according to Nolan, that is mainly because they’ve left the footballing side of things to Parkinson and his backroom staff.
Speaking on [30th July, 6:52 am], Nolan said: “What he (Ryan Reynolds) has done, he hasn’t sort of got involved with the football side of it.
“He has left Phil to do the footballing side of it, and that has been the most important. A lot of owners, when they first come in, because they love the football, they want to have opportunities to tell you what the team is, what they want them to do.”
The Hollywood duo have gone from not knowing much about the sport to adoring the football club they own and now aim to lead Wrexham to the Premier League.
