Ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Petit is impressed by the work that two ownership novices have overseen, telling Prime Casino of a remarkable sporting story: “I’m a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds as an actor and a person, but also as a club owner now. He has good values alongside Rob McElhenney, and they’ve already had two promotions and are even competing to get into the Championship thanks to them.
“They are doing things properly, step by step; they have the money and the ambition; it’s a dream for their fans, and I’m actually quite jealous! They have done great things already, and the fans just look delighted. Maybe one day they will sell the club if they get to the Premier League, but it’s been a great story so far.”
