NeutralSports
- Wrexham AFC has received £18 million in nonrepayable grants from the Welsh government, despite being owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, according to UK government state aid disclosures. This funding significantly exceeds the direct aid provided to any other football club in Britain.
