"Rob and Ryan didn't really know what they were doing when they took over a football club. They invested money, but they also invested their own energy. They put their personal interest and energy into it in a way you rarely see. I genuinely think if you asked them what they're most proud of, Wrexham would be right up there with anything they've done in acting or business."
"With Salford City, you've got footballers running the show who've done it all before. They know how football clubs run, and sometimes that brings a mindset of what won't work. Birmingham have got very wealthy owners, but Wrexham is different."
"To take something you didn't fully understand and build it into what it is today, you have to take huge pride in that. It's amazing."
Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds completed a shock takeover of Wrexham on Feb. 9, 2021 and have regularly visited SToK Cae Ras during five years in charge. The pair invested money and personal energy, helping Wrexham earn three promotions and reach the Championship after ending a 15-year exile from the EFL in 2023. The Welcome to Wrexham docuseries amplified global interest, attracting celebrity visitors and international supporters who frequent the Turf pub. Former goalkeeper Ben Foster credited the owners' personal commitment for the club's rise and contrasted their unfamiliarity with football operations to traditional wealthy or footballing owners.
