Should We Stop Being Pleased For Wrexham?

Ask Sparkey...but no chance.

 

City are on paper technically just one place above them now

There’s no stopping them.

 

Not even Salford could stop the upstarts tonight in the bizarrely named Bristol Street Motors Cup (formerly the Freight Rover/Autglass/Checkatrade etc…) Cup.

Ex bluebird loanee Conor McAlaney netted but in vain

 

Had to scroll ages back to find this thread.

They are 2 up and on their way to The Championship.

A terrible day gets even worse

 

There is a search facility which would have found it straight away. Just saying

 

Actually I enjoyed scrolling back to see some old threads………

 

I don’t understand how Wrexham has avoided the FFP rules and managed to spend so much money.

 

It'll certainly be interesting to see how their accounts stack up.

Problem is, thanks to the global media coverage, they have managed to bag quite a few big name sponsors that would be completely out of reach of most clubs in the lower divisions and probably even a few of the smaller Prem clubs.

Add to that the revenue from the TV programme (assuming that is being utilised as a commercial revenue stream) and they could well be staying within the guidelines??

 

It would be nice if the championship teams burst their balloon next season but I have a horrible feeling they'll do quite well.

 

I can offer plenty of pins to deflate the smug, gog misfits.

Hard feelings? Moi?

 

Most of their fans have got splinters having spent so long in the woodwork before re-emerging

 

Last time I was there was twenty years ago, Fans United Day, when they played Doncaster. Fans from lots of clubs attended, and from memory the total attendance was just over 6,000. Wrexham till they die, viva reincarnation.

 

Wales online suggests Wrexham are eyeing up Callum Wilson, Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell. Good players but at the wrong end of their careers, and injury prone.

Signing former PL players of a certain age is no guarantee of success. Callum Chambers springs to mind. Robbie Fowler another one.

 

You forgot Lambert although JFH was okay.

And Ramsey.

All lots of money for not much return.
