Wrexham "gifted" £18m by Welsh taxpayers

Championship: Despite being owned by preposterously wealthy Hollywood movie stars, valued at the thick end of £350m and the subject of a moneyspinning Disney TV documentary, Wrexham have received almost £18m in nonrepayable grants from Welsh taxpayers. Guardian exclusive: Jasper Jolly.

Wrexham owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have benefitted to the tune of £18m from the largesse of the Welsh government, via the local council, according to UK government state aid disclosures.
