‘Welcome to Wrexham’ returns for a ‘nail
Four years after purchasing Wales’ Wrexham A.F.C., Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney seem to have no regrets about their investment — despite the high costs of ownership.
The Wrexham Red Dragons recently clinched a promotion and is now two-tiers away from the top level, known as the Premier League.
The last few years have been a crash course for Reynolds and McElhenney in both the game of English soccer and the economics behind it.
The experience has been captured in the FX docuseries “Welcome to Wrexham, debuting its third season May 2. The actors spoke with The Associated Press about separating their inner-fan with public-facing jobs as chairmen and how the new episodes will be released closer to real-time.

AP: Has learning the business of sports changed you as a spectator?
McELHENNEY: No. I have to separate myself. I think what’s important about that is it allows me to give space to the supporters of Wrexham, because they deserve the right to complain and get upset when things aren’t going well because that’s their right as supporters.
