'Lads, we don't do that here' - Wrexham chief reveals how Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney made major error after buying Welsh club

When the Hollywood star duo took over at Wrexham during the pandemic, they looked to Ker, a British actor and comedian, to guide them through the transition into becoming football aficionados and experts as they looked to lead the Welsh side through the trials of non-league football into England's professional leagues.

Speaking on the Ryan Tubridy show with Virgin Radio, the Wrexham chief said: "One of the reasons [Rob and Ryan] wanted me involved to start off with was that I was a huge football fan and a British person, and in that regard had a bit of a head start on them, in terms of what the culture of a football club might be.

"At the start, they kept saying ‘The Wrexham Red Dragons’ when they would refer to Wrexham,” the club's executive director recalled. “I had to be like: ‘Lads, we don’t do that here. It’s one or the other'."

Under Reynolds and McElhenney's ownership, Wrexham have risen to higher levels than they ever did in the 21st century. This season, they secured entry into the third tier of English football, the League One. This was their second straight promotion after having won the National League in the year prior in record fashion.

Over the last four years, it is clear that the Hollywood duo have definitely learned a lot more about the sport and they will now be looking to lead the club to further glory in the future.
