Ryan Reynolds: Wrexham co-owner jokes about selling his children to fund club
Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds joked about selling one of his children when he learned about missing out on UK Government funding.
The club applied for a £20 million grant to help redevelop the Kop stand at the Caes Racecourse.
The cameras of the hit TV show 'Welcome to Wrexham' captured the moment the clubs co-owners were told they won't be getting the funding.
Shaun Harvey, Wrexham AFC board's advisor told the co-owners: “We’ll find a solution because we are going to need to think outside the box and do things differently.”
To which Reynolds replied: “I’ll sell one of my children, I have four. I don’t even know their names.”
Reynolds' fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney said: “I don’t have £20 million lying around. I don’t know if Ryan does, but I don’t think so.
"He might say he does, but I would talk to Blake [Lively] because I bet you he doesn’t.”
This season the series follows Wrexham's promotion winning campaign when they topped the National League and made a return to the EFL.
