Moore won't be the CEO. He's confirmed that he's advising but isn't working for the club. There will be permanent staff, based locally, employed I have no doubt about that. The difference between these two and Terry Smith is that Terry Smith had no money, and ultimately installed himself as manager. Thats not happening this time. I can see why people are cautious (or jealous), but there is so much false equivalency being thrown around its ludicrous. Spot on.
I'm happy to have him in any capacity at the club.
That includes providing advice and no doubt access to some useful contacts around the game.
Things are looking up for the mighty reds

I thought Stelling confirmed that it was the same group? To answer the question, the Hartlepool due diligence uncovered prior fraud convictions. He did, Stelling replied at one point saying one day I’ll tell all but for now I’m promised to silence. |

Wrexham takeover has been going on behind the scenes since May. Hartlepool was announced as an American consortium in August. We've never called it a consortium or said it's had links to America. "Two well known and famous individuals of high personal worth" or something along those lines. To top it all off was confirmed by WST board at the first SGM that it wasn't the same bid as the Hartlepool one From Deadpool to Hartlepool. It had nice ring to it for the documentary. |

I'm not convinced it wasn't the same bid at Hartlepool, and it was probably part of a branding exercise due to the Pool link. Likewise, they've probably only chosen Wrexham because they have a destructive sounding name (wrecks 'em). If we were called Bloodbath City instead of Chester, it might have been us! |

Terrible article, glad it has nothing to do with the Club. Just some amateur after a few clicks. The local paper died when Dave Powell left. |

Moore gave up his role at LFC to live in America. So Wrexham have now got two owners who’ve never set foot in Wrexham and a CEO who won’t either. Also some “propaganda” pieces on how Wrexham is a struggling town and inferring the club was staring at the abyss before these two “actors” rolled into town. I’m starting to think this could all go a bit Terry Smith. Moore has an affiliation with Wrexham. Spent many years living in and around town as well working as a teacher locally and growing up watching the great sides of the 70s. |

Absolutely no jealousy from me because from Pearson’s interview it is clear what your new owners objective has been all along. A reality series. Make a quick quid out of Netflix and then sell it on. It will need a bit of drama as it’s becoming a regurgitated format. So how about going for the Champions League but via the League of Wales route. Imagine the conflict and drama. Compelling viewing.... |

Sorry if I'm going over old ground here as I haven't followed the whole thing that closely, but has it ever been clearly explained why they chose Wrexham?
The likelihood seems to me that they looked into Hartlepool due to the "pool" link with Deadpool. Once that was a no-go, they trawled through the non-league pyramid looking for clubs with some sort of destructive or morbid name in line with the character, and settled on Wrexham (wrecks 'em). That makes me think if Ebbsfleet United had kept the name Gravesend, it could've been a different story!
I think their fans are kidding themselves if they think it's any more than a marketing/branding exercise for the Hollywood duo. That said, their intentions seem good and I don't doubt they'll go up the leagues.

And I'd guess it'd be for the large catchment area, certainly not for anything in Wrexham. They'll take them up to league one and make some money in a few years when they sell them on when they're bored and the documentary has become stale and been cancelled. RR may be a shocking actor but he is charismatic and very good at marketing, 37million people follow him on instagram him for what is basically just adverts, plugging gin, movies or other ventures. 37 million people go out of their way to be advertised to, I don't get it but he has a lot of pull at the moment and you're spot on about it being a marketing exercise that is what he's best at. |

It been publicised many times why R and R chose Wrexham FC and most of it rings true in my opinion. Anyway does it matter ?
We have a new and professional CEO starting soon with many more back room staff to come. Our club shop is having a refit .Work has started improving the existing facilities with electronic advertising boards being installed. We have professional BT standard match day filming etc
The redevelopment of the Kop will soon commence with propriety work now well underway.The Wrexham gateway project has reliever £25M funding and a new stand will be built as part of the overall scheme.
Front of shirt main sponsorship is on offer for bids over £2,1M with 10 or more international companies interested etc etc
Its all good news at the momment and all looks positive . You lot need to regroup find a big sponsor / owner and get on with it next season.

£2.1million for a division 5 shirt sponsorship?. Who makes this shit up?

£2.1million for a division 5 shirt sponsorship?. Who makes this shit up? Someone on Red Passion is probably the answer. The stuff posted on here about the Gateway development and work on the Kop need to be viewed as speculation at present. True the Welsh Government has pledged 25 million towards the scheme, an attempt to keep two seats in the forthcoming election. The have been very careful not to commit any money to the Kop part of the scheme. More importantly around 60 million more in funding is required and given the current economic climate that could be a very big ask. Wrexham fans getting enthusiastic about buildings being demolished and work being imminent should reflect that the Kings Arms and surrounding buildings were demolished in 2003 and the old Cinema was demolished in 2009. Both sites are still derelict. Wrexham do have new wealthy owners and a new CEO so perhaps they should be happy with that rather than making stuff up or getting over excited about buildings being knocked down. |

This is bordering on ridiculous. Any Kop development is years away. |

Because of the upcoming Welsh elections I don't think anything can be signed off yet, In case there is a change of government.
I might be wrong?

You sound like a WST supporter ? Trying to tie in other areas of Wrexham that have not moved to the development stage is a bit low ! We are all aware that its election time at the Welsh Assembly but there are quite a few organisations involved this time to ensure that this project does start and finish. The stand will be built and hopefully in the next few years . Our new owners have clearly stated that they want the ground to be redeveloped and let's see what happens. Yes the story regarding £2.1m front of sport sponsor is true and our electronic advertising boards are now being installed with another £800000 a season in advertising in the pipeline. |

Something dodgy going on there if it’s genuinely a £2m shirt sponsorship deal for a non-league football club.
Didn’t Hartlepool’s due diligence uncover prior convictions for fraud? 👀👀

If they can get a £2M shirt sponsorship on the back of a Netflix docu-soap and a link with a bloke who's been in Deadpool and another actor who you wouldn't recognise if you passed him in the street then fair play to them.
A good docu-soap needs lots of drama to make it successful. Dean Keates negotiating for a centre half from Woking isn't likely to capture the imagination and I can't see a Hollywood actor spending much time sat in an office at the racecourse arguing about who should be playing up front against Aldershot.
Let's face it they need to create drama, so lets all look forward to the imminent signing up of David Hasselhoff as the new team manager and the team running out to the Baywatch theme tune. Bring it on.

I have to admit a lot of the reason why the Sunderland series was so gripping was schadenfreude. Sometimes it was poignant and you felt sorry for them, other times you felt a lot of their fans were an arrogant and deluded lot and it served them right. |
