Quoted from Youngy
As mentioned above, I have a lot of time for Wrexham supporters. When we played them in the  Trophy final, our hotel was full of them and they were great fun. Proper supporters who like us, have suffered massively over the years.

What I can't stand is the 'underdog' narrative since Hollywood took over.


100% agree.
In truth I never knew much about the owners until they became involved in Wrexham (I live a sheltered life!) But from what I've seen so far in the documentary they seem like decent blokes.

I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, but how have they signed Billy Waters outside of the transfer window?

Worth bearing in mind that Notts County are hardly operating on a shoestring despite their fans bleating on Twitter. Wrexham are generating loads of additional interest and income and the owners are investing money into infrastructure and the ground. Not sure what there is to begrudge really other than the media going overboard and that's not really their fault.

After many years in the wilderness we have become a football club that has has attracted media attention through our cup run and also through our new owners, ok so the American duo that have taken on the task of restoring Wrexham to the position they were many years ago does rub people up the wrong way but as long as it doesn’t affect GTFC what’s the problem?


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Can't see the problem myself. They are just the latest in a long line of clubs who have tried to buy their way to the top.

They are no different to Bournemouth, who were bankrolled by a Russian billionaire up to the Prem and recently bought out by an American consortium who have a Hollywood A-lister among them.

Then there is Brentford, who did it a bit differently, and of course Brighton, who again were given massive amounts of cash by Tony Bloom, who made his fortune betting on sports events.

There is more and more Qatari and Saudi money coming into the game, so a light hearted Hollywood actor and his mate are down the list of owners to dislike in my book.

Quoted from diehardmariner
In a rare defence of Mullin, a lot of people from Liverpool don't class themselves as English.  Partly stemming back to previous Government treatments of them over various issues including Hillsborough and striking Dockers.  

They're incredibly disassociated with England as as whole, with real resentment towards the Government and the South-East bias. To be honest I can't blame them either.


Also they don't speak English.
