I think what people are forgetting is Wrexham is also fantastic PR for the owners themselves.Football is already dead, if the involvement of detached millionaires and billionaires is the standard by which we judge death. Oxford United is no different to this - hardly a community club run by fans or locals.
The good thing about Wrexham is their owners actually seem to care. They show up and do their bit. They support local causes, terminally ill children and provide services for people.
When you compare it to the sportswashing disgrace that is the Saudi Arabian Premier League, it speaks for itself.
Most football club owners are big business owners or leaders of international conglomerates - without them being club owners we probably wouldn't even know who they are (not that we know who most are anyway)!
Point being, their money isn't in fame or popularity. They're rich and will continue to be regardless of whether people know them or like them - this isn't the case for the Wrexham owners.
In acting, your fame and popularity is directly linked to how much money you can make. Most of an actors life is spent promoting themselves, making themselves seem likeable etc.
What I'm saying is, don't let them showing up to a few games, shedding a tear, and making emotional instagram videos lead you to believe they really and truly deeply care for the club. After all, they make their money by well... pretending!
