BBC Sport Wales explains how one of the world's oldest football clubs ended up being owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Wrexham, who were founded in 1864, have been fan-owned since 2011 when the Wrexham Supporters Trust (WST) took control. When Harris and the rest of the Wrexham board found out that the interested parties were Deadpool and Detective Pikachu star Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and star Rob McElhenney, they quickly realised the size of the opportunity on the table. "This deal, we had to get it and land it while it was in the offing and I am delighted we've managed to do that," Harris told BBC Sport Wales. - Rob McElhenneySo while the how is easy to explain, the why may seem more difficult with McElhenney and Reynolds admitting they are far from football experts.
