Takeover completed back in 2021Enjoyed back-to-back promotionsFamous faces learning on the jobWHAT HAPPENED?
A stunning takeover at SToK Racecourse was completed in February 2021, and quite the journey has been taken in since then. Back-to-back promotions have lifted the Red Dragons out of the National League and into League One – with transfer plans now being drawn up for life back in the third tier.

Reynolds and McElhenney have been regular visitors to North Wales, alongside some famous friends, and have continued to learn on the job. Both openly admit to being soccer novices when they took the reins at Wrexham, but they are now well versed on the intricacies of a different kind of football to the NFL brand that dominates in the United States.
WHAT KER SAID
Quizzed on which of the co-chairmen at Wrexham is the most knowledge, executive director Humphrey Ker has told : “Well, if I have to pick between the two of them I'm going to say Rob and not just because he was my boss before this. Ryan has been so busy this year that he's just not had as much time to dedicate to being at the club to follow what's going on. He follows everything but he's making the most eagerly anticipated movie of the last five years at the moment (Deadpool & Wolverine) and it comes out in a month-and-a half, so he's just absolutely slammed.”

Ker added: “We've been doing this now for three-and-a-half years, four years. And there will still be strange occasions where something happens, where I'm like, I don't know that I've never seen that before. So they're these little things every now and then they're like, ‘Oh, what, what's this?’ And yeah, usually it's my job or Shaun [Harvey’s] job to go, ‘Oh, okay. I've worked out the sequence of events in my head and this is what's going on’. But they're pretty good.”
