I'm guessing that a lot of EFL owners will be asking questions, and demanding answers

It was last season that league don't have ffp

Promoted again

Good on 'em. Fucking love the story. Was talking about it today. When the owners bought the club it was a fairy tale. Didn't come up first season, everyone still happy and wishing them all the best. Came up second season, they even built a new stand and put money in - great story. Got promoted again......cunts, cheats, moneybags, FFP.

Yep - Brits fucking despise success. Green eyed monsters out in droves.

I hope they come up again.

Don't understand the hate they get. It's a cool story and the owners are very engaged. Wrexham (the club and town) and their fans are the real winners

County win the league and nothing on Sky but Wrexham get the headlines because of the Hollywood owners.

I think the next couple of years will be interesting for them as they progress, I believe they could reach the Championship if they continue their upward trajectory but that's when the shit gets real with money needed.

League 1 will be tough next year due to the teams that will be in it, Wrexham currently sign a lot of established/experienced players from higher leagues but on good money, like Paul Mullin, Steven Fletcher, Jack Marriott, James McClean etc so for that model to continue they'd be bring in Championship players who most likely will be on good money anyway.

My m8 is a Wrexham fan so happy for him, I'm not convinced on Parkinson but we'll see.

A podcast I listened to had an interesting take on them, that all the interest from Tik-Tok, Aviator, Expedia to the TV series is not because of the town, or the club but Reynolds & McElhenney and let's be honest Reynolds.

If they decide to cash in on their investment (for which they are charging 3%) and sell the club to say a Hedge Fund the interest would wain, especially from American viewers.

That being said I expect them to be in the teams in the division who will be top 10.

Slight technical point, Stockport are promoted, they haven’t won the league yet, BUT your point still stands, County ignored for the celebrity club… because… clicks/eyeballs.

Nothing wrong with owners spending their own money as they wish.
