Humphrey on Elis James podcast

[SJM]

Lengthy interview- worth a listen

Elis James' Feast of Football

[jarko]

Really enjoyed that very interesting.

[boomer]

Very good indeed.

Great listen. Humphrey is always worth listening to.

Humphrey is so good to listen to - really good to hear the full story on how both R & R became involved.

First 25 mins is the interview part, and then the next 5 is Ellis James et al talking about Wrexham.

Yes generally the same stuff we've heard already (but always great to hear again).

The key snippets for me were that Rob had essentially sold the documentary idea before they had chosen us as the club and that they now see themselves as being custodians for 10-20 years rather than 5-10, influenced by Ryan now getting the bug and being in tears of joy after both the Stockport trophy game he attended and last Sunday's game

Yes, the timeline part was the most interesting recent revelation...and that's a very good thing. I think we've all been surprised by just how much Ryan Reynolds has fallen in love with it all. He's not walking way from this for quite some time yet.

The other bit was about the Premier League ambitions. Humphrey joked that Ryan would use his connections to sweet talk a Silicon Valley billionaire into blowing 500 million. I used to work for a Silicon Valley billionaire and this is exactly the type of slightly crazy thing they like to do just for a bit of fun.

They’ve talked about sustainable growth, but reading between the lines they are more than comfortable in injecting whatever funds are required to get us to the Championship at least, then who knows what. Regardless what happens this month, the summer will be very interesting in terms of player recruitment to keep improving the squad.

That is such an uplifting listen.
