Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have made it known they are ready to sell another stake in Wrexham.
After taking over in 2021, Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have been keen to grow the Wrexham brand on and off the pitch.
Three promotions in a row and the success of Welcome to Wrexham has grown the club’s image a great deal.
As the Dragons continue their rise up the English football pyramid, Rob and Ryan have been keen to welcome outside investment.
The Allyn family joined Wrexham in October 2024, and their North American owners want more investors to come on board moving forward.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac want to sell a Wrexham stake
Wrexham made record profits during their 2023/24 League Two season with a turnover of nearly £27m.
Two years on, another predicted record revenue of £50m is expected in the club’s first Championship season.
However, as Humphrey Ker previously pointed out, Wrexham may need more investment now that they are competing in the second tier.
He said at the time that ‘dozens’ of billionaires have been in contact with Rob and Ryan since their takeover to express an interest in coming on board.
Meanwhile, it was reported over the summer that Reynolds and Mac want to sell a Wrexham stake, with the club given a valuation of £350m.
At the time, the Dragons had just won a third successive promotion, and the mood around the club was high.
How Championship form could impact Wrexham takeover
Since then, the 2025/26 Championship season has kicked off, and it’s not exactly been plain sailing for the Welsh side.
Going into the latest round of fixtures, Wrexham are predicted to be relegated from the second tier.
They have won one in five, and while it’s perhaps too early in the season to be concerned, it’s become clear that a potential fourth promotion in a row is out of the question.
Previously, Wrexham were viewed by many outsiders as an unstoppable force that just kept winning and winning.
But as that no longer looks to be the case now they are in the Championship, we have spoken exclusively to finance expert Adam Williams for his thoughts on how Wrexham’s form could impact potential future investment.
He said: “Wrexham are an unusual case in so many ways.
“Ordinarily, an investor is looking well beyond a club’s recent form. Instead, they’re looking at the size of the fanbase, its commercial income, the strength of the brand, the infrastructure and so on – all things that are much broader than the last few games.
“That will be the case with Wrexham too, but I’d also suggest that the relatively tough start to life in the Championship might have sparked a few doubts about the viability of the project among potential investors.
“So far, since the Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds takeover, their trajectory has been vertical, with back-to-back-to-back promotions. That has fed into the buzz about the club and how they are able to market themselves to sponsors. It’s created a narrative that has made fans in the US and Australia keen to follow the club as a kind of entertainment brand. If they are relegated, how many of those fans are going to remain engaged?
“The bedrock fans are always going to be there, but the international supporters are far more transient. To me, that raises issues about how sustainable they are as an investment prospect.
“But that said, they have the kind of budget and investment, which means they should be more than comfortable in the Championship. Given the resources at their disposal, I think it will be a failure if they don’t make at least the top six before the end of 2026/27.”
