Nobody really has a clue though about how to run a football club, least of all the fans. At any given time you could likely count on one hand how many European clubs' fans feel they're being well run and managed.I've finished watching Welcome To Wrexham. They are lovely guys and their heart is the right place but they have no idea about running a football club. I think they are more into the community aspect of it all and seem to handle that well. They seem to defer to another screenwriter/actor but I don't think he knows much more than them. They do have a great sense of humour about it all and what seems like endless patience.
They are doing well though. If they win their games-in-hand they can go top in the National League.
Apparently, Liverpool are run extremely well — according to a recent report.Nobody really has a clue though about how to run a football club, least of all the fans. At any given time you could likely count on one hand how many European clubs' fans feel they're being well run and managed.
Trust me, Wrexham will finish second. They always finish second in this division.I've finished watching Welcome To Wrexham.

Joke. Bought the club for the price of a large family house in London, presumably because of the sorry state of the infrastructure, but now the government is covering the renovation.Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney set for £17 million public funding for Racecourse Ground regeneration | Goal.com US
Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are set to receive public funding close to £17 million to renovate the Racecourse Ground.www.goal.com
But, but, but, they're such great guys!
It was supposed to be covered by the "Levelling Up" fund. So a Conservative MP ( Sarah Atherton ) was elected on that promise. Then, once the Conservative MP was in place, Wrexham was told to swivel. No Levelling Up fund. It was bullshit. A con.Joke.

Being rich must be so nice, don't even have to spend money to make money these days.
Shouldn't have promised that to begin with. Government needs to invest in public infrastructure that enables better business productivity, not just building a new stadium for a football club, which of course becomes the property of the owners.It was supposed to be covered by the "Levelling Up" fund.

It was supposed to be part of a greater scheme called the Wrexham Gateway. Which was connecting the new Kop stand with the train station close by, via a tunnel. It was also a new road system in the same area of the city. I think that the tunnel is to make it easier to keep rival fans apart. Though the more I think about it, the less it makes sense. Because the tunnel would be funnelling the home fans into the station, which makes little sense.Shouldn't have promised that to begin with.

This is enriching the personal wealth of two already very rich men. If they must build it, they should demand a share of the company. Like we did with RBS after the bailout. £17m should buy a lot of fucking Wrexham.
