Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s surprise takeover of ailing Welsh soccer club Wrexham F.C. has been approved by its fan ownership group. <\/p>\n

Ryan and the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star first submitted an offer to buy the team from the Wrexham Supporters Trust over the summer, and delivered a virtual presentation of their plans earlier this month. <\/p>\n

On Monday club officials announced that members of the supporters’ group had overwhelmingly voted to approve the Hollywood stars’ takeover. <\/p>\n

A statement on the club’s website reads: “Subject to final agreement, league and FA confirmation – the RR McReynolds Company, LLC will take 100% control of Wrexham Football Club Limited from the WST. <\/p>\n

“Both parties will now proceed with finalizing the details of the takeover, and we will update Wrexham supporters as soon as we can.” <\/p>\n

In a Twitter video shared by the club, the actors also promoted the team’s sponsor Ifor Williams Trailers, and confirmed they are now set to become owners. <\/p>\n

A message from our owners-elect…<\/p>\n

“Why are Rob and I pitching a North Walian trailer manufacturer?” the Deadpool star says in the clip, before Rob adds: “Well, because we just became owners of Wrexham Association Football Club, and they’re our team sponsor.” <\/p>\n

In their presentation to fans, the actors promised to make the club, who currently play in the fifth tier of the English league system, a “global force” while maintaining its traditions and not leaving its Racecourse Ground stadium. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
