It is a known fact that for fans of soccer, the whole world falls in the 22 cm diameter of the ball. And this world has just seen a miracle right in front of its eyes as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney called it a wrap on their movie sets to set everything in place for Wrexham AFC’s revival. Among the many adjectives used to describe their tenure as the owners, ‘blockbuster’ is the most popular. But the team needs more than just a blockbuster season to ensure that its growth chart does not become stagnant. And famous football manager, Martin O’Neill, thinks they have got it.

If Reynolds and RobMcElhenney are rookies who have hit the ball out of the park in their first attempt, Martin O’Neill is their opposite. He has enjoyed the title of one of the best football managers in the past decades as he drove Leicester City to the League Cup. O’Neill has taken the time from his busy schedule to give Wrexham AFC his nod of approval as it plays in the Football League. But he has a very specific reason behind his prediction of the team’s success.

Why does Martin O’Neill believe Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham FC will get another promotion?

While there is no denying that Wrexham AFC has shown remarkable improvement and stellar talent, it is also true that every small victory of the team enjoys a huge cheer owing to its Hollywood owners. This is why critics who saw the team’s performance in the friendlies began questioning if it would at all be possible for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to add another promotion to Wrexham AFC’s resume. But Martin O’Neill is not one of them. Owing to James McClean’s addition, the Red Dragons have gained the support of the manager of the Republic of Ireland’s national team.

Martin O’Neill told BoyleSports that “James McClean is one of the physically fittest players I’ve ever known“.

The finesse of McClean combined with the brimming enthusiasm of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will do the Welsh club a lot of good. But when will this fit player join the Red Dragons on the field?

When will James McClean join Wrexham AFC on the field?

The monumental purchase of James McClean from the Wigan, although unexpected, was not necessarily a surprise. After all, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have proven numerous times their business chops. It has been only a week since the team confirmed the addition of McClean.

The player was understandably not a part of Wrexham vs MK Dons opener match. But perhaps the ex Wigan player needs the rest and training because it will not be long until he plays against them in the Carabao Cup First Round Tie in what would be the most exciting interval English football has ever seen.

Do you think Wrexham AFC’s chances of winning have increased with James McClean? Let us know in the comments below.
