I'm a fan of Ryan and Rob, and have enjoyed Welcome to Wrexham up until now, especially the mix of football clips and real life interaction with fans and players behind the scenes. But the show doesn't really need contrived gags to try to make it more lively.
As for Shaun Harvey, my one wish would have been for Ryan and Rob to talk to some longstanding Leeds United supporters when they were vetting Harvey, so they would have been aware of how he was regarded during his tenure at Leeds. Obviously, it is crucial for foreign owners to have local expertise when buying and running a sports enterprise, but certainly Harvey isn't the only football exec in England that would have fit the bill. The love-in with him is cringeworthy. This is an episode that many (if not most) Leeds United fans will likely skip.
