SINGER: I know you been playing me
Playing me
Baby, baby

CHAL: Mm.
CHAL: [laughs]
PERSON: Oh. [laughter]
[soft music]
NIK: Doing your name. WAYNE: Next to my mum.
NIK: Next to your mum's, yeah. WAYNE: Brilliant.
NIK: Uh, we've got about 150 so far.
I've got about another 30 to do now.
WAYNE: Wow.
BUDDY HOLLY [singing]: Every day
It's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Every day, it's a-getting faster
Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Love like yours will surely come my way
PERSON: Did you make the game last night, Ryan?
RYAN: It was so exciting.
PERSON: [speaking indistinctly]
ROB: Whoa! RYAN: There it is.
Come on, now. SHAUN: [laughs]
RYAN: Now, that's a stadium. Wow.
SHAUN: Is that better? RYAN: Wow.
We just don't have anything like this.
Wow.
I'm actually really moved.
[cell phone ringing]
My wife. ROB: Yeah.
[FaceTime chimes]
BLAKE: Wow.
Look, look, look, look.
RYAN: It's so amazing.
Seeing this place is literally emotional.
Like, 'cause I've watched it so much on the video feed,
and to be here... - Yeah.
And standing on the turf is just--oh, my God.
Hello. Hey, Kerry.
KERRY: Hi. Welcome to Wales.
Nice to finally meet you in person.
RYAN: Yeah. - Yeah, very much so.
ROB: Yes. RYAN: How you doing, Kerry?
You good? - Yeah. Finally.
RYAN: Yeah.
Ground looks amazing. How do you feel about it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Beautiful, right? - Yeah. Yeah.
ROB: It's gor--I mean, the last one looked good too,
but apparently it wasn't. [laughs]
RYAN: Yeah.
Wow. Yeah, this is great.
Nice colors.
It does have sort of a prison vibe.
You wanna have a quick shower?
Sure, man. I wanna take a bath, actually.
RYAN: Is that weird?
We're gonna have a quick shower.
Vizio.
Is that the gym?
RYAN: Boy. PERSON: Yes, we--we--
plans are afoot to-- - Does it ever. Wow.
And the pub would go out? SHAUN: Sorry?
It's a pub? SHAUN: No, it'll stay here.
Oh.
- But it is a pub. - Yeah. You're drinking--
RYAN: So they would be drinking in here.
Absolutely.
And how does Wayne Jones feel about that? Like--
RYAN: Yeah.
RYAN: Yes.
RYAN: Yeah.
RYAN: Great.
[laughter]
ROB: Good job, guys. - That was amazing.
[crowd cheering]
PERSON: So this is the shop.
The girls. RYAN: Hi. How are you?
ROB: Hi. How are you?
RYAN: Hey, guys. How you doing?
PERSON: Hi.
RYAN: Don't mind us. We're just--
What, did you have this replicated just based on--
Hmm.
PERSON: Yes.
I thought this was one of a kind.
I guess not. We sell them now.
Interesting.
ROB: As far as these three go, I like the middle one.
RYAN: I do too. ROB: Yeah.
You wanna model it?
I don't even have to take it off.
RYAN: Whoa, it's like at Knott's Berry Farm.
PERSON: Cool.
Hmm? What do you think? Yeah?
RYAN: Like a professional footballer.
Love it. ROB: Okay.
PERSON: It's nice. - Right?
I like this one. ROB: That's my favorite too.
Really? I like it 'cause it's just solid.
Simple and solid. Yeah.
SHAUN: So whatever the club is in the National League
is the time it's gonna cost you the most money.
Yeah. SHAUN: You are paying players
money equivalent to that that they would be earning
in League Two if they were promoted to League One.
1.1?
If we don't get promoted this year,
we're going to lose a million dollars next year as well.
A million pounds.
[bell dinging]
Yeah.
And then if we don't get promoted the year after that,
we will lose a million pounds.
And the year after that, we'll lose--
RYAN: We'll lose our lives if we don't get--
PERSON: Yeah. - Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, that's, um, scary as fuck.
All right. - That's very scary.
Um... what now?
[Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation"]
[indistinct chatter]
[crowd cheering]
RYAN: How you guys doing? ROB: Hi.
ALL: Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham!
How are you, Kyle?
[indistinct chatter]
RYAN: There you go. ROB: How are you?
Thank you. Are you going to the game?
Whoo. All right.
RYAN: All right.
Smile.
Say "cheese."
[indistinct chatter]
RYAN: How are you, Nate?
You good? ROB: Sorry.
- Really? - Yeah.
[laughter] RYAN: Right.
What is the DVD in here that you've never rented?
Eh... RYAN: Like, what's the movie--
RYAN: No, it could be Green Lantern?
Even I--even the person who edited it never saw the movie.
PERSON: Hi, Ryan.
ANNETTE: It was never cool to be a Wrexham fan.
But this year, it's actually cool to be a Wrexham fan,
Which is, you know-- is just since takeover.
It's definitely now that you're not embarrassed
to admit that you're a Wrexham fan.
I never was, but they've only recently made it known.
RYAN: I'd love to. PERSON: [laughs]
It's been a dream to sign this dog.
I've had my eye on it all day. Thank you.
ROB: Hi.
ANNETTE: The hype is massive.
In all fairness,
it's benefitted a lot of businesses,
and that can only be a good thing for the town,
um, 'cause the town desperately needs it.
[laughter]
ELVIS [singing]: A little less conversation
PERSON: Ryan! Ryan!
RYAN: Whoo-hoo.
ELVIS [singing]: All this aggravation
Ain't satisfactionin' me
Oh, my God, it is.
[laughter]
Spencer.
SPENCER: Mr. McElhenney, Rob.
How you doing? SPENCER: Nice to see you.
Good to see you. SPENCER: You okay?
- Yeah, how are you? - Spence.
SPENCER: Ryan. - My friend.
SPENCER: Nice to see you. You okay?
Very nice to see you in person.
In the flesh. SPENCER: Yes. Yes.
Finally. SPENCER: Yeah.
Welcome to Wrexham. - Thank you.
SPENCER: Do you want to see Wrexham?
RYAN: Yeah.
SPENCER: So I don't think we're gonna go into the church,
but if you just come to the door and have a look through...
RYAN: Sure. SPENCER: There's actually--
if you look down,
there's a festival of angels at the moment.
RYAN: Spencer Harris is one of the first people
we met in the process
of taking over the duties of the club.
SPENCER: When it was built, it'd been completely white,
so you could see it from the mountains.
- Yeah. - A bit like a GPS.
So in the days when there's no GPS...
I have to-- I have to get a photo.
[soft music]
JASON: Hi. How are you? RYAN: Pleasure.
SPENCER: This is his church. ROB: How are you?
Rob McElhenney. - Hi. Really good to see you.
RYAN: What a beautiful place to come each day, though.
JASON: It is, yeah.
I sort of walk here and I think,
"Wow, this is my office." ROB: Yes. Yeah.
Uh, and, you know, I have to sort of pinch myself
because it is absolutely wonderful.
SPENCER: Jason has got a really interesting history.
Do you wanna tell the guys-- - Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, my sideline is that, um, I'm a ghostbuster.
I'm an exorcist.
[eerie music]
- Wow. Wow. - So--so--
RYAN: Headline, buried. ROB: Wow.
When was the last time you exorcised a demon, sir?
Um, I--well, yeah--
um, I exorcised a house about two days ago.
RYAN: Wow. - But yeah--yeah, somebody...
There you go.
JASON: Got sort of all sorts of stuff,
ghosts and poltergeists and all sorts of stuff going on.
If I could introduce you to my daughter--
[laughter]
ELVIS [singing]: Satisfy me SINGERS: Satisfy me
ELVIS [singing]: Satisfy me
SINGERS: Satisfy me
[laughter]
Yes, nice to meet you too.
SPENCER: And then...
ROB: Megan. MEGAN: Yeah.
ROB: Tom. [urine trickling]
ROB: All right.
None of you guys live at home?
You--do you--
ROB: Oh, Liverpool. Great. - Yeah.
RYAN: I just find it so odd peeing with a microphone on.
The sound guy's outside going, like,
"Yeah, it's a healthy stream. It's good. It's good."
SPENCER: So welcome. RYAN: Thank you
for having us in your home. SPENCER: Yeah, no,
it's great to see-- it's great to you.
How does it feel-- how does it feel having--
having one job now?
I really enjoy my job.
I work for a great company in Kellogg's.
[phone ringing] Um, so I'm, you know,
in the middle of loads of stuff all the time.
PERSON: Whose is that? PERSON: Is it over there?
PERSON: I don't know. It's probably yours.
ROB: Let's answer it.
PERSON: Ryan, who is it? PERSON: Who is it?
Hey, Josh. What do you need?
[laughter] PERSON: Oh, I knew it was Josh.
RYAN: Josh, why are you calling
in the middle of our fucking interview?
[laughter]
I think he's gonna cry. PERSON: Hi, Josh.
Hi, Josh. PERSON: Hello, pal.
PERSON: Look at his face.
RYAN: Listen, Josh, what do you want?
ROB: Yeah, what are you calling for, Josh?
EMYR: What's the phone call, mate?
ROB: We're busy. [laughter]
We'll call you back.
Dude, I reckon I might have to call you back.
[laughter]
RYAN: Wow. This is great. ROB: Yeah, it's awesome.
RYAN: You got almost a full pitch here.
SPENCER: Yeah, so...
RYAN: Look at those fields, man.
I mean, that is... BOTH: Yeah.
RYAN: Is this the greenhouse? Your tomatoes?
You finally got to grow your tomatoes?
ROB: Oh, you got your tomatoes.
SPENCER: They won't be ready till December, so...
I buried my dad in one of these.
- [laughs] - This is excellent.
How do feel now that you're unburdened
by the rigors of the daily Wrexham life?
SPENCER: It was the absolute privilege of my life
running the football club, so, you know,
I miss working with the people day-to-day.
Yeah, but, you know, certainly what we're finding
is, like, you know, everybody's got an opinion
of how they would run things.
SPENCER: Yep. - Right?
And you had to deal with that for quite a long time.
And you took quite a bit of abuse, right?
Or an actor.
Here's what I can tell you what we're finding.
Sometimes people are very happy to tell us the things
we're doing right, but we haven't had quite yet,
uh, a lot of people telling us the things that they--
from their perspective that we--that we're doing wrong.
One of the most important things that, you know--
that you and your leadership team can do,
and you've been doing it, you know, for the last few days
by presenting yourself and being really public...
But if you can and as far as you can,
try and keep the personal touch...
Yeah.
SPENCER: That goes with the growth.
Easy to say, difficult to do.
[indistinct chatter]
KERRY: This is my husband.
I was so passionate.
I mean, for 12 months,
I've been researching powerchair football.
I found out everything I could about it
to be able to go to the club to then sell it to the club
to say, "I'd love to start this up."
We can actually get as good with this
that we can enter leagues, Euros...
ROB: Wow. KERRY: Every--there's--
We're the first team in Wales.
- This is the first-- - Oh, wow.
KERRY: We're the very first setup in Wales.
Oh, yeah. No pressure, by the way.
Jesus. [laughter]
I want Kerry to run my entire company.
She's, like, killing it out here.
I feel very privileged to have the role that I've got
because I'm not getting knocked
'cause we don't win on a Saturday.
Yeah, yeah.
KERRY: 'Cause I'm still doing good things, so--
- Yeah, exactly. - So I love it.
[upbeat music]
[Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation"]
PERSON: Yeah.
[no audible dialogue]
Well, it's become a routine with me and my sons.
We get up at 6:00 a.m. on Saturdays and...
Last week, I had to do double duty where my daughter
was playing sports Saturday morning in New York,
and I was that dad staring at his phone
on the sidelines, watching. [laughter]
ROB: Yeah. RYAN: Yeah.
ELVIS [singing]: A little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart
I've volunteered at the club
for the last probably six years.
ROB: Uh-huh.
ANNETTE: I don't want you to take this the wrong way,
but I'm a little bit disappointed
with how it's gone so far.
The people that you've chosen as CEO and Shaun Harvey
are not the right people for the club.
RYAN: You--you feel they're not the right people for the club.
ANNETTE: They're not community-minded.
I don't think that they've treated the staff,
the current staff, with any respect whatsoever.
If we're gonna run the club exactly the way
that you would like to see it run,
what would you-- what would you do?
I think you need to take the fans with you
and not just--don't get this the wrong way--
the hype.
Your heart's in the right place, and that's what--
Again, let's not rush to judgment
before all the facts are in. - [speaking indistinctly]
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
PERSON: Hello, guys.
ROB: How's it going? Yeah.
RYAN: Yeah. PERSON: Ryan, can you sign...
ROB: Oh, what a beautiful name.
Can I sign right here? - Yes.
[indistinct chatter]
CROWD: Let's go, Wrexham!
[laughter]
Come on! - I feel like I know you guys.
SHAUN: Let's get them in. How are you, mate?
Good to meet you.
Rob, how are you? ROB: How you doing?
Nice to meet you.
Cheers. SHAUN: All the best.
All the best, lads. Cheers. PERSON: Cheers.
PERSON: Good luck, Shirley. SHIRLEY: Oh, best luck.
Nice, right?
Yeah, that is.
That helped us, uh, do what we're doing here.
We're doing shots, and--
and they just come across as real nice blokes.
[regal classical music]
This is an actual mug, all right?
We've got, like, a man's shot.
This is a swimming pool with one more fucking--
SHAUN: I've got a feeling this is gonna go downhill--
He might be bigger than me,
but I can drink him under the fucking table.
SHAUN: To Wrexham, eh? Wrexham.
- Wrexham. - And thank you again.
[applause]
Yeah, so we've, uh--
ROB: Hell yeah. RYAN: Jesus.
WAYNE: Yeah. ROB: Awesome.
Of course. Oh, my God, yes, of course.
RYAN: It's amazing how, like,
interconnected the club is with the community, though.
Like, that's-- that's the thing
that we kind of keyed into early on,
which is why we're like,
"We cannot do anything to fuck this up."
WAYNE: Yeah. - Because it's--it's these--
these two things are inextricably linked.
Not a burden, just a responsibility.
WAYNE: Yeah, yeah.
ROB: Where--where are we right now?
How do you feel like-- like the club is right now?
Myself? ROB: And what can we do...
No.
Beginning, he said, "Give us time to gel."
Now, to gel, you gradually get better.
They haven't. ROB: Mm-hmm.
I'm still optimistic, and I'm still--
RYAN: I'm optimistic about Phil, big-time.
ROB: And you guys are not optimistic about Phil.
JONNY: No, listen. JAMES: Yes.
He's a--he's a-- he's a big-name manager
for this league. ROB: Yeah.
Is he doing everything right?
I don't think he is.
Like you said, we're 11 games in.
He's got to have a chance. ROB: Yeah.
RYAN: If my career is judged by 11 movies,
I'd be fucked. [laughter]
ROB: Well, I would love to hear
your guys' opinion of the trust,
because I can tell you--
ROB: Yeah, I would love to.
But in my mind, it extremely lacked ambition.
I can tell you that
they saved this club from insolvency.
SHAUN: We--we know-- we already know that.
JONNY: We're grateful. - Fair.
We're grateful for that.
Fair, and I think you're admitting that.
JONNY: We're grateful for that, 100%.
RYAN: There would be no club.
SHAUN: They were a necessity. We needed them.
[speaking indistinctly]
JAMES: No, yeah, we get that. No, I--
Definitely. 100%.
When we entered the picture, they were incredibly welcoming.
Like, they weren't like, "No, we got this."
They were like, "Great.
Let's go. Let's see what we can do."
Did you find Spencer is a little bit of a weasel?
- I did not. - No.
RYAN: I found him to be really--a lot of integrity.
Shaun, I have a question.
When you wake up, are you in a full sprint?
Or are you still lying in bed? [laughter]
To Wrexham. JONNY: [speaking Welsh]
Yo. JONNY: [speaking Welsh]
SHAUN: So obviously, January's coming up,
and what we really need to do is sort of plot our way through
what we want to do with the January transfer window.
[soft music]
We have a period of 31 days to make changes to the squad.
Is there any of the players at this moment on our squad
who you're recommendation would be, we should sign
to an extended contract as quickly as we can?
Well, you know, Jordan Davies is the--
is the key one who fits that bill.
We have been so excited to talk about transfer window
just because we wanna know sort of
how much do we wanna put our finger on the scale here?
- Yeah. - How much do we wanna
make sure that we're sustainable at the same time?
PHIL: Yeah. Always start at the top
of the pitch because that's what wins games of football.
Mullin is an exceptional player.
He's probably better than we thought he was
in terms of his speed. RYAN: Yeah.
PHIL: He doesn't look quick, but he's quick.
To get to where we wanna be, it's all about facilitating him
to get chances 'cause he'll take them.
Ideally, we'd want a big physical presence who can run,
head it, do all the donkeywork
for Mullin to be in and around the box
and put the ball in the back of the net.
And a wide player who we believe when we go
out on the pitch is gonna be like a Jordan Davies...
RYAN: Yeah.
You know, if you suddenly had a better striker
and a wide player who's gonna get goals,
that's the difference between the playoff team
and a--and a top team, you know?
SHAUN: They players that you're looking at bringing in,
what's the sort of estimated, uh, annual cost?
Because that's where the real big--
RYAN: Camera's off. - That's the question.
[laughter]
Conscious decision-making,
that's the thing that I--that I advocate
and why I start at, "How much is it going to be?"
Everybody knows, we all decide we're doing it,
and make it happen.
But ultimately, we'll defer to you.
- Always, yep. - And so when it comes time
and you identify the players you want,
we will go after them.
And then Shaun will have to make the deal,
and that'll be his problem. [laughs]
Yeah.
[laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
- [sighs] - [laughs]
I used--I thought I was Canadian.
I don't know what happened. - [laughs]
[camera shutter clicking]
SHAUN: Obviously, thank you, everybody, for attending.
And, uh, what we have been able to do
is to deliver the two stars of the show.
Who would like to go first? Collin.
ROB: Wow. Intense.
I mean, really, really-- that was the first time we'd--
we'd actually seen them play live.
Unfortunately, the outcome didn't turn out
the way that we were-- we were hoping,
but just to see the club fight back like that
was just really inspiring.
RYAN: Oh, boy, I mean, you know,
we'd be lying if it wasn't Premier League
or something like that, but it's a--
this is a long road, you know?
You realize you started by saying,
"We're gonna take Wrexham to the Premier League,"
and they all recorded it. - Yeah.
[classical music]
ROB: Okay, so that's what they're gonna leave with.
That is the goal, isn't it? ROB: Yeah.
Eventually. ROB: I love it, yes.
I'm not saying it's this year.
Why not dream big?
Change is inevitable, right?
So we have been in this league for the last 13 years,
and so obviously, some things are going to have to change.
But what is really important to us is to make sure
that we continue to hold sacred
the foundation of what this club is and means.
And that--and that is at--at the heart of--of the community
and--and it's to make sure that--that this continues to be
the beating heart of this town.
[camera shutters clicking]
RYAN: Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.
Thank you all.
[Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation"]
RYAN: How are you, Lord Mayor? Pleasure.
Pleasure to meet you. - Hi, Rob.
ROB: Hi. How are you?
Magnificent, H. Well done.
I think everybody was looking forward
to--to meeting them, and--and I think
it did everybody a lot of good, actually.
You got family here as well?
Yeah.
PHIL: I think them being there just made everyone feel
it was real because it has been a surreal
feeling for everybody at the club.
And it just brought everything into reality, really.
RYAN: Yeah. [laughter]
PHIL: Had a laugh with the lads
and spoke to them individually.
And, um, you know, the lads just realized
they're just normal guys, you know?
And they're--they're right behind us as well.
I think that was--that was key.
[laughter] - How are you anyway? You okay?
RYAN: I'm pretty good. How are you doing?
Yeah, good. RYAN: Now, are you injured too?
RYAN: Yeah.
- [laughs] - This is a--
Happy seventh birthday to Noelle.
This is a birthday. Okay. Happy birthday, Noelle.
Uh, okay, we're gonna sing you "Happy Birthday" right now
at the top of our lungs.
Right here. Ready? Three, two, one.
[singing] Happy [laughs]
Playing dress-up.
PHIL: Yeah. PERSON: Here we go.
Oh, my God.
I have never been more embarrassed in my life.
Yeah, stretch out, geezer.
ROB: These are Mullin's shoes.
RYAN: I know. They're not gonna help you.
ROB: They got goals in them.
AARON: Rob and Ryan come to our first training session,
so it's the first time I met, um,
Ryan Reynolds up close and personal.
You don't know until you actually meet the person
whether they is genuine, and then I was like,
"I actually wanna start to do really well for these guys
'cause they're actually, like, good people as well."
RYAN: Mm-hmm. - That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, and you got to know
that you can't please everybody all the time, so...
Exactly, at the same time.
PERSON: Yes.
I think I-- I think I was flying
through the air as I threw it.
PHIL: I didn't--I didn't see you.
Well, the chairman gets to have some leeway.
PHIL: [whistles]
You lost your chance. Let's go.
- It's a big honor. - How you doing?
All right. [laughter]
All right. Now, listen...
I'm gonna kick it right there.
RYAN: Rob. - Okay.
One sec. Okay.
Come on, Rob.
ALL: Oh!
[applause]
PERSON: Fuck yeah. [laughs]
RYAN: Do you realize what you've done?
You would've definitely saved it.
Thank you for giving me that.
Oh, you're gonna dine on that for the rest of your life.
ROB: I'm never gonna forget that.
I should get changed. [laughs]
Yeah. No, I wanna get changed.
I made enough of an ass out of myself for the day.
Thank you, guys.
[laughter] PERSON: [speaking Welsh]
Behind me.
[tense music]
SHAUN: So I have some rather bad news about Paul Mullin.
ANNOUNCER: And Maidenhead bound for a throw
to Wrexham by Tozer.
Oh, Maidenhead player's absolutely flat out.
[whistle blows]
I'm facing there, and then I hear...
[mimics commotion] I see the guy on the floor.
[whistle blows] PHIL: Hey, hey.
PERSON: What do you mean--
PHIL: Hey, there's nothing in it.
Fuck off.
There's nothing in it.
The ref pulls me over, and then I'm like,
"Why do you wanna speak to me?"
And then he says to me,
"When you jump, do you jump with your elbows?"
And I'm like, "What? What are you talking about?"
PHIL: You got the wrong-- Ref, you didn't even see it.
Ref, how can you send him off?
PHIL: The fourth official is two yards away,
and he hasn't said a word.
Right. You're lying. You're lying.
BRYCE: Frenchie throws it, I flick it,
and then-- - [speaking indistinctly]
Would--could-- could they do that?
SHAUN: Yeah.
What a strange sport.
ROB: No. What? Who?
SHAUN: It is likely that Paul will be missing
and potentially for another two games.
[laughs]
Just gets better. Okay.
SHAUN: That's football.
The best player in three leagues is not going to play
at the first game that we see down at the Racecourse.
SHAUN: Yeah.
We'll it's been a pleasure, Shaun.
Thank you for starting the day.
I-- RYAN: Mm-hmm.
I tried to come up with some good news, but, uh--
You know what? I'm gonna skip today
and I'm just gonna stay in the hotel
and punch myself in the penis. [laughter]
If that's okay.
SHAUN: Well, that's football.
[announcer speaking indistinctly]
SAM: This is, um, Ryan Reynolds--
well, Deadpool in this.
You can't beat Deadpool, can you?
Put me on TV.
HUMPHREY: Yes, thank you all so much for coming.
We're so thrilled you've all made it out here tonight.
Um, it's an opportunity for everyone
to ask questions of the guys.
Um, I think we'll be passing microphones around, uh,
the--uh, the stands for you guys to ask questions
and things like that.
You know, if you got a question, stick your hand up,
and a microphone will find its way to you.
First man I saw. Right here.
[applause]
What was the connection between
you and Wrexham Football Club?
We had no direct connection.
It was just a--a--a feeling.
RYAN: Look, sports is storytelling.
You know, and there's so-- there is just an inexhaustible
wellspring of storytelling with this--this club.
I mean, its past, the fact that this stadium is
one of the oldest or the oldest international stadium on Earth.
I mean, there's just-- it doesn't stop,
and there's a real opportunity to grow.
And that's all you ever really want, you know?
What me and my dad thought was because
Wrexham's red and Deadpool's red.
There was a bit of a connection there.
That's the real reason. Sorry.
All that other cra--stuff
was just crap that I was talking about.
ROB: You are quite a detective.
RYAN: I know. [laughter]
Those--those highs and lows are so intense.
It's just like nothing else.
You sort of hate it,
but you--you--you wouldn't trade it for the world.
So I--I feel like I've-- I'm hooked up
to whatever IV you guys are on
now a little bit, and I'm scared.
[laughter] - It can be horrible,
but it's--it's worth it.
Yeah.
[applause] PERSON: Thank you.
[classical music]
HUMPHREY: Rob and Ryan's mentality
is like the fans are our bosses.
The--the boardroom and things are not really.
It's, "We do all this for them,"
because what they're interested in is much more
the community and--and how a football club
affects the community.
And Rob and Ryan want feedback from the fans
because that's how you-- you build
a successful football club.
Hi. [indistinct chatter]
Ryan, Ryan, then Rob.
Ah. PERSON: No, no, don't be daft.
Deadpool, Deadpool, and Rob.
Signed them. - How was it?
Look.
PERSON: He's lucky. - Pardon?
Good. Happy that he bought our club.
Out of all the clubs, ours.
- How was it? - I didn't ask him.
What did he say about, um, what's happening to the stand?
[somber music]
ROB: I can't believe this is my life,
but also, like, this is exactly my life,
so I'm just like, "This is what it is."
RYAN: Yeah, I get it.
ROB: Let's just be right in the middle of it.
RYAN: What a weird world we live in.
ROB: McElhenney and Reynolds go to Europe to see team.
Team loses. RYAN: Team loses.
ROB: [laughs]
RYAN: Perfect headline.
ROB: It's pretty great.
RYAN: We are 11 matches into the season,
we have the highest payroll in the league,
we have a championship-caliber manager,
and yet we are losing to sides like Maidenhead.
We can't seem to beat any of the sides
at the top of the table.
We are stuck in the mud.
This is a must-win game.
It's important for this area
and the--the people of Wrexham.
In terms of a distraction,
I think we just got to rein that in.
ROB: I just wanna go to a game at the Racecourse.
I wanna drink Wrexham lager.
I wanna watch the Reds
with 10,000 Welsh people.
PERSON: Right there, you guys.
BOTH [singing]: A-le, a-le, a-le, oh
ANNOUNCER: It's a huge game for Wrexham tonight.
We're still 11th in the table
and will have to face Torquay United
without our star striker.
SHAUN: Ready? RYAN: Yeah.
SHAUN: Let's do it.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
RYAN: Wow. Crazy, right?
Crazy! I mean, it's...
CROWD: Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
RYAN: Bonkers. ROB: It's amazing.
RYAN: It's crazy.
Well, hello there, Wrexham.
We just wanted to say thank you so much to this community
for opening up your arms to us this last few days.
It means the absolute world to us.
We're so grateful, so thank you.
Let's have a great match.
[speaking Welsh]
[cheers and applause]
Come on, you Reds! CROWD: Wrexham!
Wow. It's crazy, right? Crazy. I mean, it's--
CROWD: Let's go, Wrexham!
PERSON: Hey, meet young son.
RYAN: That was crazy. ROB: Exciting.
I absolutely cannot-- for someone in my profession,
it's weird to say I cannot stand public speaking.
I hate it.
PERSON: Hi, guys. - What's up, man?
But it was--I'm glad that we got to do that.
It was a--that was a privilege.
That was also just amazing to feel that noise.
PHIL: Come on. Let's get ready.
ANNOUNCER: Wrexham have reshuffled the pack.
Of course, we've had to
because of Paul Mullin's suspensions.
HUMPHREY: Mulls...
HUMPHREY: Yeah.
SINGER: I just go there and get it
[whistle blows]
Not everybody built the way I'm built
Just trying to show you there's a way if there's a will
This for the will
In the end, but they all wild
PHIL: Our ball!
SINGER: Not everybody built the way I'm built
Just trying to show you there's a way if there's a will
Come on!
SINGER: [indistinct]
Till I can't breathe
I'ma get that, get that
I ain't going till I'm old and around, like, 100
Throwing them around like 100
Put the pain down, but a coffin, a box
Can't hold me in the ground
I'ma walk like a zombie and show up in your town
[indistinct]
[cheers and applause]
ANNOUNCER: Tremendous finish by Harry Lennon.
Well, what a finish. It was a great throw.
It was touch goal.
CROWD: [singing indistinctly]
ANNOUNCER: Tremendous finish, that, wasn't it?
1-nil. Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
[phone ringing]
RYAN: Yes, sweet girl.
RYAN: We're doing okay. We're up 1-nothing.
We're winning right now.
This is Paul. - Hello.
Paul Mullin. He plays on our team,
and he scores tons of goals.
CROWD [singing]: We've got Mullin
Super Paul Mullin ROB: Stand up.
ALL [singing]: I just don't think you understand
He plays in red and white
He's fucking dynamite
We've got super Paul Mullin
RYAN: That's amazing. Come on.
[laughter]
ROB: Sure.
Yeah.
ANNOUNCER: I hope the occasion of, you know, Rob and Ryan
being here today doesn't shadow what's going on
on the pitch today, which, you know,
is a big pressure on those lads on the pitch today
with Rob and Ryan here as well.
And, again, a big crowd.
Come on, you Reds.
[whistle blows]
[upbeat music]
SINGER: I got the juice, you got moves
We gotta choose, nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, hey, hey, hey
ROB: Oh--oh, Jordan.
RYAN: Come on, boy. Come on.
ROB: Okay. I like that he took a shot.
[Decora's "I Got the Juice"]
DECORA [signing]: They gonna try to hold me back
Yeah, they'll end up on their back, whoa
I got one direction on selection
And trust me, I ain't gonna look back
Follow me back, not
I ain't here to kick rocks
I am a boulder birthed from a mountain
Looking out, and the view is
ROB: Too much time. We gotta score again.
ROB: I'd feel a lot better about that if it was 2-nil.
Jordie, come on.
Use your jumps. Come on, son.
ANNOUNCER: Hosannah's look--flat on his face.
Apparently will get a yellow.
PHIL: That's a fucking joke!
ANNOUNCER: Right off his feet, so that--
that should've been a red card, in my eyes. I'm sorry.
ROB: I feel like we're not getting any calls.
[crowd booing]
PHIL: Hey!
[crowd booing]
ANNOUNCER: Time's running out for Torquay.
All Wrexham have to do is hold out defensively
for a few more precious minutes.
PHIL: [yelling indistinctly]
ANNOUNCER: Lapslie out wide, speeds for a cross here.
[dramatic music]
As it's swung in right for the--
great ball in, and it's 1 all.
Oh, my God.
[no audible dialogue]
PHIL: We were so pumped up to win,
we wanted to make it a special day for the owners,
but really frustrating to concede that goal,
which, um, you know, ruined a, you know,
potentially great day.
- Cheers, mate. - Good job on the pitch.
- Thanks. Cheers. - Good luck cleaning it up, man.
The way this place has welcomed us
has--has really been unlike
anything I've ever experienced.
And I mean, I'm hopeful for the team we have on the pitch.
Did we wanna see the team win while we were here?
Yes, absolutely, but that's the sport.
There's still a lot of season left,
and I have no doubt that we can turn it around.
PERSON: No, no.
RYAN: This week in Wrexham has truly been special.
To experience firsthand this community,
it reinforces our reasons for wanting to buy the club.
If we can get the club moving in the right direction,
I'm excited for the future of this club.
I'm excited for the future of this town.
[soft music]
PERSON: Yeah, we'll find out in the next--
I think we'll find out in the next couple of days.
ANNETTE: To be honest, if the football doesn't improve,
all the money that's been invested, everybody's--
we'll be the laughingstock
if we don't get up into the league.
There's an awful lot of fans who are not happy
with what's happening at the moment.
ANNETTE: If those new owners decide to walk away...
[cheers and applause] PERSON: Can we get a selfie?
We haven't got anything to fall back on.
That's what I'm afraid of.
[dramatic music]
TOMMY STRANGE [singing]: Won't you break
My heart
One more time
Won't you kiss
My lips
One more time
I'll be there
Break my heart
One more time
[child giggles, seagull cries]
