I don't get the dislike for Wrexham, proper club, that has had real hard times
in a town that has had the same.
As opposed to those years of hardship UTD fans have had being a constant in the Prem, or Newcastle had not winning a major trophy etc etc.
Of course they've spent money, largely impossible not to these days, and we are happy to spend our owners cash, so what does that matter?
Yes there is a lot of coverage which gets annoying, but the show itself is on a paid streaming service so no need to go anywhere near it.
That said, I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons.
Watching Ryan Reynolds go from being someone along for the ride, to someone who won't let people move from their spot in case they jinx the result was great.
Both those guys have properly fallen in love with the town and the team, it absolutely matters to them, a lot more than many many other owners.
Which applies to the town as well, its not just a phrase or PR stunt 'community program' to white wash an image, they genuinely want to improve lives.
Football would be a lot better for having more owners like those two, rather than investment funds for human rights violators.
