‘All because of this man’ – Rob McElhenney reacts to incredible Wrexham stat that justifies investment he & Ryan Reynolds have made in chasing the dream

League One

Wrexham

Exeter

<p>The Red Dragons have enjoyed a meteoric rise since a ball was first kicked in anger at the start of that season. They were a National League side back then, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/outrageous-wrexham-goalkeeper-partying-best-mates-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt074f95fc0332af04" target="_blank">rewrote the history books when savouring title glory with 111 points</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/welcome-to-wrexham-shut-down-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-cameras-disappear-documentary-distraction-paul-mullin/bltc23f50702bf8b1df" target="_blank">bounced straight through League Two</a> – finishing as runners-up in that division – and now <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/another-las-vegas-party-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-arthur-okonkwo-bold-wrexham-promotion-claim-league-one/blt37daecccf5dc6d0a" target="_blank">sit at the top of the third tier table</a> after picking up four wins and a draw from their opening five games in 2024-25. Nobody can claim to have been as successful as the Welsh outfit over the last two-and-a-bit seasons.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>McElhenney is delighted to see that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/plastic-nipples-why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-different-other-owners-wrexham-director-explains-hollywood-superstars-broke-mould/blt3153f5855a6bb1aa " target="_blank">investment of faith and funds from himself and fellow co-owner Ryan Reynolds</a> is being rewarded, and credits Phil Parkinson with making all of that possible. He has posted on social media, alongside a remarkable statistic that features an image of Wrexham’s manager: “And it’s all because of this man. In Phil we trust.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">And it’s all because of this man. <br><br>In Phil we trust. <a href="https://t.co/01KSo2h7cZ">https://t.co/01KSo2h7cZ</a></p>— Rob McElhenney (@RMcElhenney) <a href="https://twitter.com/RMcElhenney/status/1832502628682756319?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 7, 2024</a></blockquote>
