Wrexham recently returned to the Second Division after finishing their season in the National League in record-breaking fashion. Since then they have not failed to amaze the audience with their performances. However, they have had their fair share of struggles in the football league. From Paul Mullin’s absence in the initial matches to multiple player injuries throughout, Wrexham’s comeback has not been an easy one.

The Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-led side has been through a rollercoaster journey so far in the Second Division. And a while ago, manager Phil Parkinson revealed how the owners backed him up during Wrexham’s toughest phase.

Reynolds and McElhenney’s Wrexham have been putting up a show for the fans in the Football League. The club currently stands at the third position as they eye back-to-back promotions this year. However, despite an incredible streak of wins, Wrexham suffered a handful of humiliating losses. The Red Dragons conceded 5 goals against Stockport. While the defeat almost derailed Wrexham off its track, Parkinson revealed how McElhenney was the first person to text him after the match back in September.

During his previous award acceptance speech, the Wrexham boss spoke, “the first text I got was Rob McElhenney [saying] ‘Phil, we’re right behind you, we’re right with you.” He continued how the support extended even to the team’s financial requirements. Despite losing a ton of money at Wrexham, the Hollywood duo has continued to spend big for the club’s development.

Elsewhere, Parkinson revealed that Reynolds and McElhenney have been extremely supportive, especially during bad games. The adorable revelation from Parkinson about the duo spoke volumes of how incredible they are as owners.
