'The dumbest people in the room' - Rob McElhenney opens up on successful relationship with Ryan Reynolds as Wrexham co-owner shares 'emotional growth' since buying Red Dragons

League One

Wrexham

Birmingham

<p>According to McElhenney, the key to their success has been their ability to "walk into a room and be okay with being the dumbest people in the room." The <em>It's Always Sunny</em> star also discussed how he has changed since taking ownership of Wrexham.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Asked about his bond with Reynolds, McElhenney told <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffconway/2024/12/05/rob-mcelhenney-discusses-his-emotional-growth-with-wrexham/" target="_blank"><em>Forbes</em></a>: "I think we just see the world in a very similar way and we see investment in a similar way, both economic and emotional. We both try to listen before we talk. Generally, as a rule, we will walk into a room and be okay being the dumbest people in the room, trying to learn as much as we can - especially, in a sport we don't know and in a part of the world that we've not spent a lot of time."</p><p>Asked how his experience with Wrexham has affected him, he said: "I've just become so close with the players, with the staff, with everybody in the town that it just becomes a space for emotional growth. I never considered myself a football fan - and now, I have devoted my entire life and a good portion of my business and an exceptional amount of my time &amp; effort into the sport and into the town."</p>

WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID

<p>The Red Dragons currently sit in second place in League One, with surprise league leaders Wycombe Wanderers proving difficult to break past. Also in the title race are West Midlands club Birmingham City, who are part-owned by NFL legend Tom Brady. Earlier this season, McElhenney imparted an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-ryan-reynolds-wrexham-co-owner-nfl-legend-tom-brady-advice-birmingham/bltc0b7bdf2e0f2cb75#csdcd001b2d2045302" target="_blank">interesting piece of advice to the former athlete</a>, noting how important it is to "recognise that this is all about the community".</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>As they bid to challenge for the League One title, Wrexham face a trip to Burton Albion this Saturday. With the Brewers stuck in a relegation battle and seven points from safety, Phil Parkinson's side will be heavy favourites for this one.</p>
