News about Rob McElhenney

Wrexham striker Ollie Palmer will feature in the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie alongside the club's co-owner Ryan Reynolds. Hollywood star Reynolds teamed up with fellow actor Rob McElhenney to buy Wrexham in 2021, and the Welsh club will be playing in League One next season after achieving consecutive promotions. Reynolds has formed a strong bond with the club's fans and players during his time at the helm, and has now cast one of their stars in his latest film, Deadpool & Wolverine.

Travis and Jason Kelce have hinted that they could head on a road trip to Wrexham after being offered a tour by the soccer club's co-owner Rob McElhenney.  Jason was left red faced this week after discussing Travis' new teammate Louis Rees-Zammit on their podcast New Heights.  The former rugby star has joined the Chiefs and Jason revealed what a 'stereotypical' Welshman is like in his mind.

Wrexham were denied the League Two title after Stockport County's victory over Notts County on Tuesday night.  The Hollywood-owned Welsh side achieved their promotion to League One on Saturday after their 6-0 demolition of Forest Green Rovers. However, despite marking back-to-back promotions, there was still anticipation amongst the side as they awaited Stockport's result. 

The party for Hollywood-backed Wrexham carried on this weekend as they basked in their promotion to League One, with the squad enjoying a team meal following their stunning feat. Saturday's thumping 6-0 win over Forest Green saw the Welsh outfit ensure promotion to English football's third tier for the first time in 19 years, sparking wild scenes at their he SToK Cae Ras ground. And that jubilance continued 24 hours later as the Hollywood-backed outfit by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney visited a local restaurant to toast their achievement.

Wrexham forward Elliot Lee has made a hilarious request to Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney after his side secured promotion to League One. The Welsh side secured promotion for the second consecutive season after winning the National League last year.

Wrexham have secured promotion to League one after a thumping 6-0 win over Forest Green.  The Red Dragons were transformed following the takeover by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and their success has continued.  Phil Parkinson's men were aware that a win against bottom side Forest Green would ensure a second consecutive promotion.    

Wrexham's Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have basked in their side's promotion to League One.  The Red Dragons secured back-to-back promotions after thrashing League Two strugglers Forest Green 6-0 at the Racecourse Ground.  And McElhenney, who was watching from Los Angeles, could not hold back his excitement as he took to social media. 

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are now within two steps of achieving their Premier League dream after Wrexham sealed back-to-back promotions. The Hollywood pair pitched up at then-non-league Wrexham in 2021 with a bold vision to make the Dragons a 'global force' en route to eventually taking a seat at English football's top table in the Premier League. After a record-setting National League title win a year ago, Phil Parkinson's side have thrived in League Two and have now sealed their promotion to League One at the first time of asking.

Wrexham are potentially just one win away from securing back-to-back promotions for the first time in the club's near 160-year history. The League Two outfit were transformed following the takeover by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and they now find themselves on the cusp of the third-tier of English football. Phil Parkinson's side take on bottom club Forest Rovers at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday afternoon, with Mansfield Town and MK Dons, in third and fourth place, in action against one another.

The Duke of Sussex was seen locking lips with Meghan (inset) as his team took the top prize at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge - with the action captured by a Netflix team run by Miloš Balać, showrunner on Ryan Reynolds sports doc Welcome to Wrexham (featuring Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, right). Balać's programme, exploring the 'aesthetic and social' side of polo, is one of two the Sussexes are making with the streaming giant - with Meghan creating a homelife programme set to tie in with her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard. Echoing the Duke's choice of showrunner, the Duchess' programme is being run by Leah Hariton, who produces Selena Gomez 's cooking show Selena + Chef, which sees the popstar (left) learn how to cook dishes with professional chefs.

Ryan Reynolds might be a huge movie star, but even his busy shooting schedule hasn't stopped him from tuning in to his beloved Wrexham - after finding a unique way of streaming their games on set. The Wrexham owner - star of big budget franchises like Deadpool - often promotes his Welsh club on social media when he can following his takeover with fellow actor Rob McElhenney in 2021 that shocked the world. Reynolds has since overseen an incredible season that saw the club promoted back to the Football League for the first time in 15 years, bringing huge publicity to Wrexham along the way after inviting a handful of big name celebrities to matches.

DAVID COVERDALE: Rob McElhenney, the co-owner of Wrexham, has agreed to produce a documentary about the Enhanced Games, the controversial event that encourages athletes to dope. James Magnussen, Australia's former world champion swimmer, has been the first to sign up for action, claiming he would 'juice to the gills' to try and break the 50 meters freestyle record in exchange for $170,000 (£790,000).

For directing a racial insult directed at Tranmere supporters, a Wrexham fan has been barred from attending football matches for three years. In Wrexham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, Daniel Thomas Monk, 21, admitted to a racially inflamed public order offence. The incident occurred on the day of Wrexham's League Two match against Tranmere on March 16 - a game that had been described as "high risk" by police after 30 hooligans were banned following high-scale chaos at a match between the two clubs in 2003.

IAN HERBERT: Just when there seemed to be no space for anything but noise in football's all-consuming sport, there was no room for anything but chaos - an introduction to Gate 12 at Wrexham's ground, and what lay beyond it - told me otherwise on Friday. It was a deeply moving experience. The gate, as well as the area of seating, is the vision of a woman I first encountered a year or two ago when writing a book about the changes in Wrexham following Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' arrival. I wrote the book Tinseltown, but Kerry Evans' work began long before Hollywood escorted, and fans who were in a wheelchair could not afford to pay her a salary as the club's first disability liaison officer, nor fund away travel for fans who were in a wheelchair. She raised the money herself.

Wrexham's national league employees announced in their latest reports that they earned £6.9 million during their promotional season. After edging Notts County in a head-to-head match for the one automatic spot, the Welsh side was promoted to champions from the National League last season with a record 111 points. Reynolds and McElhenney announced last year that if the team had failed to qualify to League Two, they would have been 'f*****.'

At the time of their promotion to the English Football League, the Welsh team made £5 million (EFL), but turnover has since increased to nearly £10.5 million. In February 2021, Ryan Reynolds (left) and Rob McElhenney (right) purchased the League Two club for £2 million. Wrexham said financial losses since the company's takeover in February 2021 by It's Always Sunny author McElhenney and Deadpool actor Reynolds were not repeated due to the Club's income, which is now earned by the League Two club. A statement from Wrexham said, 'The amount owed to The RR McReynolds Company, LLC (owned by the two actors) at the end of the year was £8.977 million (2022: £3.714 million).'

Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle will descend into darkness for Earth Hour tonight as the Royal Family resumes its public duties amid a string of health issues. In an unprecedented video address shared on the Royal Family's X website, Princess of Wales Princess Margaret of Wales revealed yesterday that she has cancer. However, the official stream of the ministry refocused on the day to day operation of the company today, urging citizens of the public to participate in any non-essential lighting from 8.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. tonight. The initiative is spearheaded by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to warn of taking steps to save the earth. It aims to highlight the impacts that humans are having on the planet by climate change, pollution, plastic, and food production.

Kate Middleton revealed that she was in the 'early stages' of preventative chemotherapy for cancer treatment. The Princess of Wales narrated how the cancerous cells were discovered in a moving video in January when she was undergoing chemotherapy for another illness. She explained that she did not speak out about it earlier because she wanted to 'explain everything' to George, Charlotte, and Louis, assuaging them that "I'm going to be fine." This was also the reason why the William was compelled to cancel a memorial service for his late saviour, King Constantine of Greece, as it was reported that this was the time when the family first learned of Kate's illness. Here's a look at what the palace has told us to date, in the midst of the outpouring of love and support from politicians, actors, and the general public.

Kate, 42, told viewers how she needed to keep her illness private while taking the time to 'explain everything' to George, Charlotte, and Louis and tell them, 'I'm going to be ok.' Prince William has been steadfast in delivering 'comfort and reassurance' to his wife's spouse since her illness, while also proactively addressing his personal pain and masking his personal suffering. During a visit to Sheffield on Tuesday, the heir to the throne was greeted as he ploughed on with the day job. He talked to families who have lived in poverty. William waved and smiled before chatting with well-wishers who were unaware of Catherine's illness at the time. In the previous weeks, he's also been seen visiting a synagogue in London and heading to Wrexham for St David's Day.

The Welsh club's profile has risen sharply since Reynolds and McElhenney's arrival, not least due to the success of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary. During a speech to the SportNXT conference in Australia, director Shaun Harvey, the former EFL chief executive, revealed Wrexham's rapid rise.

Wrexham announced a new partner with an amusing video on social media, and Ryan Reynolds mocked Rob McElhenney's'reckless investment.' The Hollywood A-listers and co-owners of the League Two team posted a video on Facebook to announce the arrival of American bank Ally as a new club partner. However, it was not a traditional news video for the two actors; rather, the two actors were seen in a mock press conference to announce the new contract, in which Reynolds amusingly mocks McElhenney for the amount of money he's spending on the team. Reynolds mockingly accuses Always Sunny in Philadelphia of "reckless investment" and boasts that he's going to Las Vegas, constructing a temporary stand, and even the television show 'Welcome to Wrexham.'

Prince William and Princess Anne (left), along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh (inset) and the Duke of Gloucester have been lined up to perform public performances in the coming days. The Prince of Wales (inset) is expected to be out and about as his wife's wife begins to recover at home after abdominal surgery. Princess Anne is expected to be the busiest royal this week, with 11 engagements in the diary from today to Sunday. The Duke of Edinburgh will perform duties at eight separate engagements, with his wife Sophie joining him at three. This week, the Duke of Gloucester, the King's cousin, has four engagements in the diary.

This is the moment the Prince of Wales was asked 'William, how's Catherine?' During his trip to Wrexham, his wife is still recovering from abdominal surgery. When walking into Wrexham AFC's Racecourse Ground on a trip to celebrate St David's Day last Friday, Prince William did not respond to the question. As he made his way into the stadium, the heir to the throne was asked by another fan 'can I get a selfie please?'- but said: 'Can I say hello to the team? I'll be back.' Kate is off official royal duties until after Easter after major surgery in January, with Kensington Palace confirming last week that she is still 'doing fine'. Since attending church at Sandringham on Christmas Day with William and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis, she hasn't been seen at any royal functions.

With Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney, the Prince of Wales downed a whisky and said, "I like the better stuff." Prince William came to The Turf Pub in Wrexham, the world's oldest pub at a sports stadium that appeared in the Disney+ 'Welcome to Wrexham' series, as part of a visit to celebrate St David's Day. He met with employees, volunteers, and locals to learn about the facility before heading to the Racecouse Ground to hear accounts of the club's progress since McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' takeover in 2021.
