Star pair Ryan and Rob spent £2 million buying Wrexham FC, following a successful vote by the Supporters Trust, in November 2020, but have since splashed much more than that on rebuilding the club. They signed star players including Ben Foster, Elliot Lee and Paul Mullin, who all commanded higher wages.
And, of course, winning the National League title and earning promotion back to the English Football League will have also worked wonders financially for the club. All that means that Wrexham could now be worth £8million, according to Saxo Bank - a 300 per cent increase in just three years.
