PERSON: Champions!

NARRATOR: While the spotlight may well be firmly on Wrexham,

bringing all eyes with it,

the former bustling mining town

is finding many areas are still suffering,

something our plucky cochairmen plan to rectify

with some very practical business decisions.

Nowhere is their instinct to waste time and money

more perfectly illustrated than in the birthday wars.

Battle one commenced

with Ryan dedicating a urinal in Rob's honor

before Rob returned fire with his big red balloon.

♪ ♪

Last year, Ryan conjured up

some Hollywood magic by mobilizing a musical army.

- It's called It's McElhenney. - It's McElhenney.

And hopefully, that's how you actually pronounce it.

[laughs] We wrote the whole song.

[bell rings]

narrator: Yep, that's Oscar winners Pasek and Paul,

the same Pasek and Paul responsible for the music

in Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land,

The Greatest Showman,

and one Emmy away from an EGOT,

who wrote a little birthday song for Rob's birthday.

[jaunty upbeat music]

Is Rob good enough for this?

[laughter]

NARRATOR: But this year, in a classy counterattack,

Rob is taking all that exposure

and focusing it firmly on the heart of the town

to make more of an impact than a silly stunt

involving a big-time celebrity.

[Chris clears throat]

[pen clicks]

What am I doing here?

Um, you know how Ryan and I are always

doing these elaborate things for each other's birthdays?

Yes. ROB: Yes.

OK, so this year-

I don't. I don't know, but I'm excited.

Oh. CHRIS: Tell me.

Um, this year, um, my idea involves a park.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, and 'cause I was on P-

[light energetic music]

♪ ♪

NARRATOR: OK, so maybe one big celebrity megastar.

Chris helped reveal that Rob

is building a park in Ryan's honor in Wrexham

so they can have movies, pop-up restaurants,

and community events that will hopefully

drive a ton of foot traffic and revitalize business

in the area of the town where it's needed.

But the big question is,

if you build it, will they come?

Come on. Let's have a kick.

Come on. PERSON: Go on.

ANDY: It's a Wrexham ball as well.

Again.

Oh, poor. PERSON: Oh, very good.

[person chuckles]

- Take care. - Welcome to Wrexham.

ANDY: [chuckling] And you too.

[person chuckles]

ANDY: I'm Andy Williams.

I'm the mayor of the city of Wrexham

and the county borough.

I used to hear people saying,

if you ask them where they came from, they would say,

"Oh, we live just outside Chester."

But now, you've got people that live just outside Chester

saying that they live just outside Wrexham.

I think the easiest way of describing the link

is, the club is the community

and the community is the club.

So this is the site of Rob and Ryan's new park.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a far cry from where it was.

It was a derelict and dilapidated area.

HUMPHREY: There's an area in the center of Wrexham

that was once, for 33 years, an important public hall

until, in 1906, it tragically burnt down.

It then served the community

as the Wrexham Hippodrome Theatre and film venue

for 100 years all the way until 2008,

when it also tragically burnt down.

The site has largely remained closed to the public

since that time.

ANDY: I'm really, really looking forward

to seeing this progress into Rob and Ryan's vision,

really, for the community.

I like it already.

So I think it's pride, pride of belonging,

pride of being part of what

the city of Wrexham is becoming.

Football is a massive part of it now.

It is.

[laughs] You never know. You never know.

It might come, it might come.

Can't be only 15.

That's, uh-if we keep on getting promoted,

bring more people in.

Yeah, well, I hope so,

because I got bets on them qualifying.

I've had it on since they were-

before they got promoted last time.

Oh, I can't say.

HUMPHREY: I think one of the risks that we run at Wrexham

is the danger of the popularity of the documentary

and the growth of interest in Wrexham

from around the world prices out local people,

fans, people that have been part of the club

for much longer than we have.

And we have to be on our guard at all times,

as I say, to center local opinion,

local, uh, thinking,

and ensure that, you know, the tail doesn't wag the dog.

[soft upbeat music]

♪ ♪

SHAUN: The first aspiration when we started

was to get into the EFL.

And it's only when we got into the EFL

that our horizons have broadened.

If we'd have turned around and said,

"We want to make as much progress through the EFL

as quickly as possible,"

then we've always got a position to defend.

But no, that was never going to be Rob and Ryan's style.

You know, and Rob's in particular.

We want to get to the Premier League,

and we want to get there as quickly as possible.

You know, you set yourself a target of that nature,

you're putting a metric down for people

to measure you against,

and how long are people prepared to wait until

it's a case of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds

fail in their objective

of getting Wrexham to the Premier League?

JON: Wrexham have just been promoted

into the football leagues,

and there's one question on everyone's lips,

and that is, when can we expect them

in the Premier League?

And how much will it cost for Wrexham to make it

from the fourth tier up into the Premier League?

Well, we handed this problem to TIFO's financial expert,

Abhishek Raj.

He crunched the numbers,

and he came back to us with a few estimations.

So he estimates for Wrexham to get from League Two

to League One, it's going to cost around $10 million.

The same again from League One to the Championship,

but once you get to the Championship,

those costs rocket right up.

So he reckons that once you get to the Championship,

the cost of getting into the Premier League

is then going to be around $150 million to $200 million.

Now, I've included these figures in dollars

because the owners of Wrexham are American.

Now, those owners are in fact

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney,

who are very famous actors in the United States,

I'm told, which is good news

when you're in the National League

because they have a lot of money,

but relatively to the Championship,

they do not have a huge amount of money.

SHAUN: Getting stuck in the Championship,

from a footballing perspective,

a lot of fans would accept.

You know, playing Championship football week in, week out

was a distant pipe dream for Wrexham fans

before Rob and Ryan came along.

PHIL: Shaun. SHAUN: Hey, Phil.

The challenge of getting stuck in the Championship

is the financial cost.

Even now, there's already investment in the ground

and the staff and bringing in high-caliber players

like Boyle and Evans,

also bringing in players with Premier League experience,

like James McLean, Fletcher, and Arthur Okonkwo.

Rob and Ryan had put over ££8 million

into Wrexham Football club to get us into League Two.

And although Rob and Ryan seem to have a lot of money,

the net worth of Premier League clubs

is exponentially higher.

Most Premier League clubs have owners

with billions of dollars.

That's billion with a B, not million.

That's a lot.

That dwarfs Rob and Ryan's pocketbooks.

Rob and Ryan are going to be taking bigger and bigger risks

the higher they go up in the leagues

because there is a vast difference

between Hollywood actor money and, say, oil money.

From a financial point of view,

it seems clear that Wrexham are well set up

to fly through the divisions

and get through to the Premier League.

They may even do it in record timing.

We're looking at a best estimate

of between seven and ten seasons

before we see Wrexham in the Premier League

playing sustainable Premier League football.

[static buzzes]

SHAUN: You know, we're putting it all in

to try and be successful.

You know, at some stage,

if they aren't successful in doing that,

people may just turn on them.

It's difficult to see that at this moment in time,

but that's the reality.

Football clubs fall out with their owners

on a regular basis.

And there's no reason that

Wrexham won't go down that same route

unless we get everything right.

both in the short term and in the long term.

I've had champions that don't even fucking pay us.

You know, what a fucking bloke.

Great bloke.

All right. All right, then.

I've got to go. I've got to shoot this advert.

PERSON: OK. - All right. Bye.

[soft upbeat music]

We're not millionaires.

We retire with not much of an education,

35 to 40 years old.

Who fucking drew that? Is that me?

- That's you. - That's fucking horrendous.

Without being in any other industry,

and you've got to restart,

so you have to build something.

So the main body of the film is Humphrey going to be there,

explaining what HP has done for Wrexham

and then what Wrexham are doing for them.

And one of them is,

we've rearranged their staff into a 3-5-2 formation...

- Yeah. [chuckles] - To maximize performance.

DIRECTOR: Cameras are set, and action.

OLLIE: OK, guys, we're going to drop into a 3-5-2.

So can I get three chairs at the back there, please?

Yeah, one more on the right side, yeah.

One into the middle here.

Over this way a little bit.

OK, trust me.

This is going to work.

But we need our desks.

DIRECTOR: That's good. [laughter]

PERSON: You ask, I'll deliver.

Ah!

Here you go. It's yours.

OLLIE: Thank you very much. [person chuckles]

Very kind. Thank you so much.

Monitors.

Those two apparently have got to be returned,

but if you let me know.

Spectre. This is so cool.

I really need this for my business.

PERSON: So if you flip it all the way around,

it does a 360 view, so your screen,

you can bend all the way underneath your keyboard.

What, so, I'm going to bend this?

PERSON: Yeah.

I'm going to bend it all the way?

PERSON: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go on.

And then you can have it in, like, a tablet mode, then,

when it's turned on.

Oh, shit. And I can watch stuff?

PERSON: [laughing] Yeah.

Retirement sort of means,

you know, just sort of reprioritizing your life.

99% of people in this world can't just say,

"I'm going to retire," particularly in this sport.

In football, anything can happen.

OLLIE: A bit wobbly.

So obviously, I'm spending a lot of time up here

and I'm away from my family

and wanted to use my time wisely.

So we come up with an idea to start a clothing brand

related to Wrexham and something to represent

North Wales as a clothing brand.

Can we do the sleeve trick with this one?

I love this oversize.

- But it's massive. - I love it.

- Is it a medium? - I would wear this.

I would wear this. - Like that?

Like this, little messy bun, bit of a gold hoop.

- Yeah, me too. - Gray joggers.

[laughter]

This is going to be fixed a little bit like that.

Caitlin's obviously fantastic.

She does the hair and makeup for the models

her opinions on stuff.

Very lucky to have her.

CAITLIN: The clothing brand is the next part of his life.

Ollie has worked incredibly hard.

He's really stressed all the time,

so it causes, for me, such anxiety

because we've got children

and just thinking what life is going to be like

after football.

OLLIE: Running the business, for me, it's a gamble.

PERSON: Sounds like marching. [laughter]

OLLIE: Worst-case scenario is probably

lose the 40 grand that we've put in.

[chuckles]

You've got to be prepared to take risks.

You've got to be prepared for the fallback

and the criticism that will come with that.

But you don't really get anywhere in life

without taking a few risks.

PERSON 1: We're in the middle

of a blistering streak

despite Parkinson shuffling his lineup

because of injuries to key players.

PERSON 2: Yep, Wrexham crept into second place

in the table, only behind our old sparring partners,

Stockport County.

PERSON 1: If this keeps up, we're in pole position

to secure a very welcome promotion

for the second straight season.

Come on, big win tonight, Wrexham.

[crowd cheering]

ANNOUNCER: The great Martin Woods checks his watch.

And Harrogate will get the game underway.

Kicking from left to right, as you look from the gantry.

And immediately, the ball rolls

back into Arthur Okonkwo's grasp.

CROWD: Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!

ANNOUNCER: There's a bit more distance on it,

but that's easy.

Shaping for an overhead kick. He's been fouled as well.

You've got to make it clear and get your arms up.

You've got to get your arms up.

ANNOUNCER: Heads backwards and Mullin looks to intercept.

So it's going to drop for Ollie Palmer instead.

Poor touch by the Harrogate defender.

McClean makes an overlapping run.

It's come through all this, Andy Cannon, takes his spot,

finds it bottom-right corner and Wrexham leads.

[dramatic music]

[fans chanting]

From that corner, nice little ball through Mendy's legs.

Andy Cannon read it well.

Moving forward, Hayden's the target.

It's gone beyond everybody.

In fact, he's headed it back.

And Elliott leads the man to pounce.

[crowd cheering]

I think it was McClean

that kept it alive at the back post.

[suspenseful music]

Foulds takes the ball back.

Thomson going to cross deep this time.

Okonkwo comes out to meet it.

[person grunting]

He's got a little kick for his troubles.

Good commanding goalkeeping otherwise by Okonkwo.

MARK: Arthur comes for a cross, picks up a low cross.

And as he picks it up, he takes a knee to the face.

You could see in his face that he was in pain.

ROB: It seemed like he went down for a ball

and got grazed across the face,

from our vantage point.

And then it turned out that he was dazed

from getting clocked in the face.

What happened?

PERSON: Bloody injury.

Jonny, can have you, please? Jonny, have you please?

ARTHUR: I was always worried about getting injured

in the sense that as a goalkeeper,

you don't want to let down the manager of the team,

Close your mouth. Open and close it.

Can you move your jaw left to right?

Do you know where you are?

Still, we thought maybe he split his lip or something.

And then it turns out,

The young man broke his jaw, or someone broke it for him.

PERSON: We'll get you see the doc as well.

Careful. Careful.

Gotta start thinking second concussion, yeah.

It's more likely from the impact.

HUMPHREY: When something like this happens,

it really brings home how risky and fragile

this whole endeavor is.

Luckily, we have Mark Howard to step in,

but no matter how much you plan and prepare and invest,

sometimes the fates are against you.

After coming off a broken jaw,

it was the worst-case scenario.

So half time, so yeah, it was just more of a,

right, I've got to turn it on now.

I've got to get warm.

I've got to get ready and make sure that I can do

PERSON: Yeah, teeth might be a little bit loose.

You got a little split in the gum.

You're looking at the jaw. You got an injury there.

WAYNE: This kid was just starting to build up

a really good rapport with Tozer and Hayden

and the other defenders.

You know, we're on a really good run.

We're up to sort of, like, second or third.

We're scoring goals. Mulls is back firing.

So yeah, it's a bit of a kick, that one.

PERSON: Thompson had a chance to whip this free kick in.

[whistle blows]

Everyone on the edge of the box.

Thomson cross the six-yard box, set it in.

It's in. [crowd cheering]

Nothing Mark Howard could do about that one.

Right into the bottom corner.

It's Anthony O'Connor who scored it

and within 90 seconds of the restart.

[light music]

HUMPHREY: Arthur has been a critical part

of the team's great recent form,

including four clean sheets.

Now we've drawn a match

we should have won after he went off.

And that's just one of the many risks you take.

We started off the season with an injury to Paul Mullin,

and we suffered mightily. [whistle blowing]

Hopefully, Arthur's injury tonight

doesn't have the same effect.
