The acquisition of Wrexham by the HOLLYWOOD couple Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been approved by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The movie stars were exposed as mysterious business people who wanted to invest £ 2 million in the National League Club in September 2020.

Backer confidence voted overwhelmingly in favor of the deal in November, and the takeover was approved on Friday.
In a statement, the Trust said: “Both parties will now work to officially complete the sale of shares in Wrexham AFC next week.
“We would like to thank the supporters for their patience in this process and assure you that the Wrexham Supporters Trust will make a full statement once this is complete.”
Contracts were swapped in January, but McElhenney and Reynolds are already donating money to bolster Wrexham’s roster.
Update: The takeover of @Wrexham_AFC is still not 100% official and unfortunately the handover does not appear to be complete before the transfer window closes. So Ryan and I made a donation to the club so they (we? 🙏) can take some steps. Up in town! #WrexhamIsTheName

That was before the transfer date and while we were waiting for the takeover to be approved by the FCA.
Former Liverpool manager Peter Moore has taken on an informal role advising the actors and declaring that they are “long-term” with it.
McElhenney is best known for playing Ronald ‘Mac’ McDonald in the acclaimed American comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which he co-created with co-stars Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day.
Meanwhile, Reynolds is known for a number of film roles, including Deadpool and The Proposal.
Wrexham currently sits eight in the fifth division of English football.

The Trust first issued a takeover statement in November that reads: “Subject to final agreement, league and FA confirmation, RR McReynolds Company, LLC will take 100 percent control of Wrexham Football Club Limited from WST.
“Both parties will now proceed to finalize the details of the acquisition and update Wrexham supporters as soon as possible.
“As Wrexham supporters, we wish you the best of luck with our football club and look forward to the future.”
