Reports from Daily Mail suggest the owners of the Welsh side Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will share an astonishing £200,000 if they win promotion from the fifth tier of English football to which the players seem confident. However, at the beginning of the season, it was decided that they would only get victory bonuses if they finished in the top three all season long in exchange for receiving a larger payout if they attained their ultimate goal. Later the owners added a few extra zeroes to the agreed-upon sum as a perk during the discussions, which club captain Ben Tozer reportedly spearheaded.
The average weekly salary at the club, according to the article, is roughly £1,000. As a result, every man would appreciate the potential bonus of £20,000 per man.
If Phil Parkinson’s side does achieve their target, it will be the first time the team will be in the English Fourth Tier since 2008.
The Wrexham stars are now on the cusp of making the enormous figure, provided they don’t stumble at the last hurdle, with promotion only around the corner. Wrexham only needs three more points from their final two games to guarantee their return to the football league. If second-placed Notts County wins every game left on the schedule, that is.
The remarkable season doesn’t end here as a brand-new 5,500-seat stand is to be installed at Wrexham’s home stadium, The Racecourse. It will cost a stunning £25 million, thanks to the city council’s generous donation. As a result, the club’s home stadium would have 15,000 seats.
While the team will also receive a bonus of roughly £1 million from the EFL as compensation for their success.
Since the entrance of the Hollywood duo years ago, the club has undergone a dramatic transformation. The duo has revitalised Wrexham and the surrounding neighbourhood by creating a documentary for Disney+ that highlights their efforts at the club.
