The pair were searching to invest in a football team with a story, a sense of community and a potential to blossom. Wrexham ticked all of the boxes.
It is a special day for the two of us to become the latest stewards in the long and storied history of Wrexham AFC.
Together with the players, the staff, the fans and the local community, we can now pursue our goal to grow the team in front of increased attendances, and in an improved stadium, while making a positive difference to the wider community in Wrexham.

Rob had done a sequence on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" that I just thought, pound for pound, was one of the most beautiful three minutes I'd ever seen, on this show that he'd obviously created and worked on for so many years. So I just let him know. We kind of became friends, like text friends.
So then one day Rob sends me an email that outlines his plan to buy a lower-league club and grow it into something more resembling a global force. I just saw the path that he laid out, the phosphorescence in the water so to speak, and I was in. I just thought it was so unexpected and so interesting and I love building businesses and this is a business.

Ker said: “He [Rob] just fell in love with it. He texted me back the next day and said: ‘Right let's buy a team'."
“Rob wanted to find somewhere which had that link between the club and fans – all clubs do but Wrexham has that more than others. It just jumped to the top of the pile – it became so clear.”
McElhenney then went in search of a big-money sponsor and contacted Reynolds, whom he had never met, but who leapt at the idea.
