Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney tipped to sell Wrexham 'sooner rather than later' as prediction questions are asked of whether Red Dragons are ready for Premier League promotion push

Two Hollywood superstars have filled co-chairmen roles in North Wales since completing a stunning takeover in 2021. An emotional roller coaster has been ridden since then, with the Red Dragons soaring out of the National League and into the third tier of English football.

Reynolds and McElhenney, who helped to put an award-winning documentary series in place, have never shied away from the fact that they want to see Wrexham reach the Premier League.

Doubts are, however, being cast over such lofty ambition. Birmingham, with big-spending investors of their own on board - including NFL legend Tom Brady - are considered to be better placed to reach the big time, with another sale potentially on the cards at Wrexham.

Former Wycombe defender turned EFL pundit Joe Jacobson has told Football League World: "Wrexham’s a little bit different. Yes, they have the money, but it feels like they have a lot of players, and their squad at the moment is geared towards just getting out of that division.

"They did it in the Conference, they did it in League Two, and now they’re doing it in League One, just getting the best players for that division there and then. It’s not like they’re signing players for a five-year plan and for the future - it’s instant success."

Jacobson added: "Is the stadium, is the club, big enough to go up again? Potentially, if you look at the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford, who’ve done it on similar stadium capacities. But I think Birmingham have a better chance of getting up there, with the bigger infrastructure behind them.

"Just the murmurings of the guys at Wrexham - I feel like at some point they’d sell sooner rather than later, whereas the Birmingham one seems like they’ve got a really long-term plan now."

Wrexham are looking to join runaway League One leaders Birmingham in the Championship next season. They have six games left to take in this term, while sitting second in the table, and have already held talks regarding what would be required in order to compete in the second tier. Stadium expansion plans for the Red Dragons remain a work in progress.
