But Reynolds has from selling his gin company to Diaigeo so I doubt that s the limit. It woud be sensible to keep his cards close to his chest. Let's be honest £2m if invested in players is shitloads in this league and below, and in the current financial situation. It's not out of the question if they make a few decent signings in Jan...which I'm sure they will try and do, that they come up and we get relegated!

It's sounds like an opportunity for the two principles to get on TV for a bit. I only hope that giving up supporters trust ownership is worth it, and they rise up the leagues. Wrecsam dwi dymunon dda. I'm really not sure Ryan Reynolds is too concerned about whether or not he gets on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Our position is f**king depressing. Regardless of motives, good luck to Wrexham. They have two charismatic new owners, pumping in cash and opening up the club to greater media interest and future investment potential. Both immediately have tapped into the soul of that club and helped a deserving fan along the way. We, on the other hand, have a delusional contemptuous conman. Contrary to building solid foundations, has invested minimal in the playing side; recruiting inferior players that couldn’t even compete non-league hence why were struggling in the basement league. Five-year plan for Championship but steadily pushed the club in opposite direction. Even the CEO has disappeared off social media as he’s realised the extent of fan feeling against the owner and whilst trying peddle the positives, has likely accepted that there are none.

Aren't they just one division below us and about to embark on an exciting new adventure, drenched in positive media coverage? We have alienated anybody that matters and are borderline complete disarray, we've got better players but we don't even pick them so what's the point? I would be stunned if you could find many Latics fans who wouldn't swap with them. Obviously, they'll exist, bc all types exist in this day and age.

Monty Burns Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I would 100% rather be in their position in a hypothetical manner, if it could be applied to Latics. I would take a one division drop if it meant we could be taken over in exactly the same manner with exactly the same intentions. Just hope we actually get to play them and don't swap divisions with them. They would have a right firm out for us, be an eye opener for some of ours that would.

I've never done The Racecourse but I've watched them play at Macc about 4 seasons ago. They brought a decent number including some Welsh coppers. I didn't see any mither. A pissed up Taff in frontof me in the Co-op near the ground trying to give everyone sweets was as hairy as I saw near the Moss Rose. I've still got a signed programme from when we did them five at BP and Carlo got 4. My eldest's first Latics match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah we turned them over at Wrexham in 1997, then they got revenge in Ancoats in 2002. Allegedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
