You’re so much more optimistic about a few people than I am!!

Can't see an issue with it. They want to buy the club and use it to benefit the club and wider community.
Wins all round i should think.
If, in 5 years, Wrexham is fantastic but the club is still in the conference i can see there being some unrest!

"Rob has a friend in marketing and he texted Ryan to ask him if one of his companies would be interested in becoming front-of-shirt sponsor for this club I am looking to buy. And Ryan came back and said 'well, yes, but also no as I'd rather be co-owner'.

"Rob had told him the degree to which this was not just an ordinary sport team purchase this was about more than the traditional, beefing one up and selling it for more money. It is more about using a football club as a kind of philanthropic engine. I think that struck a chord with Ryan. He texted back straight away saying 'I want in'.

Ryan and Blake are well known for their philanthropy. They have given millions of dollars to help others.
