Wrexham owner Rob McElhenney reveals admiration for Liverpool but admits desire to 'mash their dreams into oblivion'

The Hollywood actor reflected on yet another successful season at SToK Cae Ras as Wrexham secured their third consecutive promotion and reached the Championship, a division the club last played in 43 years. McElhenney spoke about the bond in the club while revealing his admiration for Liverpool's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

Speaking on the Men In Blazers podcast, the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star said: "It's the relationship and the love that you have for each other and your community is forged in pain, which I think says something beautiful about humanity. When we are at our most vulnerable and beaten down, we have each other to hold on to and to help lift each other up. I think sport is just a great metaphor for that. Hopefully one day we'll be competing with Liverpool, but their song, You'll Never Walk Alone, is just so unbelievably beautiful for a football team and for a community."

He added: "One day I hope to mash their dreams into oblivion, but for now I celebrate along with Humphrey [Ker, Wrexham board member] because he loves Liverpool. Interestingly, it's also [striker] Paul Mullin's team, and so I've followed Liverpool and I'm so happy for them and their supporters. But really that song exemplifies what we're trying to do as well."

McElhenney and co-owner Ryan Reynolds have changed the Welsh club's fortunes immensely since their 2021 takeover. The actors now continue to dream of reaching the Premier League.
