Last September brought word that Ryan Reynolds, ever the intrepid businessman with companies like Mint Mobile and Aviation American Gin among his owned properties, was eager to buy a football club and was engaged in talks to invest in the Welsh football club Wrexham AFC with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and star Rob McElhenney. The deal was made official in November and as of today has been finalized, with “RR McReynolds Company LLC” taking over 100% control of Wrexham AFC Limited from the Wrexham Supporters Trust and each of the new owners contributing a £2 million equity investment into the club. The pair celebrated online with new gear.
The @Wrexham_AFC handover is complete! We’re toasting with a limited-edition bottle of @AviationGin and I am rebranding as Wrob. Both of which I am apparently legally obligated to do as I’ve been informed Ryan now owns my life rights. My lawyer is currently looking into it. pic.twitter.com/f4fdpJtlIq
