Welcome to Wrexham

Re: Welcome to Wrexham

i would take him over Tan any day. He respects the supporters and the culture surrounding the club

They seem great owners but they have even said themselves they couldn’t cope at championship level financially. Only thing fans accept is results.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham

What, two Hollywood film stars with restricted unknown finances, who until very recently knew absolutely nothing about football in the UK. Isn't that what you have been moaning about here for ages ?

They’ve bought into the culture, they’ve bought in to the history of the club. Miles away from Dictator Tan, I’d swap them tomorrow.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham

The documentary series is clearly integral to why they took the club on.

They have obviously sold the streaming company (I forget which one) the idea of following a club from the bottom to the top.

Probably becoming people's social media sort of team in the process. An advertisement dream.

They probably don't fully appreciate how unpredictable the game can be though, and the higher they rise the less their financial impact will have.

Be interesting to see how it progresses. Without the doc series and the current level of media attention I don't see what's in it for them.

Whilst there though I do get the impression they will do things right and it's a million times better for their fans to have something exciting going on.

Without mentioning the shirt business, what's our 'culture' ?

A lot of future profit from their investment if they get it right.
If they could get Wrexham up the league's, it attracts further investors from elsewhere, that's no doubt the aim.
It's a clever move if they can pull it off.
They now own the club and the ground, it opens up development opportunities and could ultimately go a long way if they can get the additional investment.
What they've spent a few million on, could be worth a hundred million in years to come.

As far a sponsorship is concerned I’m not sure they could go bigger than Tik Tok, Expedia, etc. The value of those sponsorships potentially increases as they go up the leagues though.

I was talking to a lass I know from Pittsburgh in my local last night.
She had no idea about football but she was getting up early this morning to watch the Wrexham game.

How’d they get on?

Just saw they conceded late on in the cup.

Is this on TV over there? I've seen posters at bus stops in NYC and there's an ad on a national TV network. Complete with a bloke with a gog accent

My situation is probably the reverse of most. I'm very familiar with Wrexham but had never heard of these actor guys.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham

Just started watching this, really interesting. Tan needs to watch this and learn some lessons in running a football club.

It was a good watch.
These two American actors clearly had the smarts to appoint football men to run a football club.

Tan had the smarts to appoint two trusted financiers with no clue about football clubs.

The difference is now telling.

I won’t knock the Wrexham owners, in fact I think it’s great and I’m really enjoying watching their journey.

However they have zero promotions and Tan has 2 including some cup finals?

Difference is we were knocking on the door before Tan. Wrexham, in my opinion, will be set up for longer term success and not alienate 50% of the fan base in the process.
