Reynolds was appearing on a fan podcast, alongside his partner Rob McElhenney.

That exchange prompted Reynolds to suggest the Red Dragons will continue to spend "as aggressively as they possibly can", while also being mindful of the club's financial sustainability. The Deadpool star then mentioned the ongoing revamp of the Racecourse Ground as an ongoing expense.
WHAT RYAN REYNOLDS SAID
When asked if the club would continue to sign, "Lots of expensive cheques" or if they would "consolidate" McElhenney said: "What have you seen so far to suggest [we won't].
"I don't understand what that word [consolidation] means."
Reynolds said: "We're coming to win. I can't give you a dollar figure, but we're going to be as aggressive as we can possibly be, while being mindful of sustainability. We have a stadium to revamp, but maintain it's character and culture.
"We're swimming with the big fishes now. It's a tall order to compete on that level."
