THE BIGGER PICTURE

Darragh MacAnthony – chairman of rivals Peterborough United – has revealed how much Wrexham splashed out, telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKellcXWBlQ&amp;t=824s " target="_blank">talkSPORT</a> of business in the third tier: “Peterborough are the second biggest spenders in League One this summer, I think we spent over £2.1m on transfer fees, and I think obviously Birmingham spent millions more. But after that, I was speaking to the Wrexham CEO [Michael Williamson] on Saturday, I think he said they spent about £1.4m, so I think they are third. But after that we look at the mass majority of deals, it’s free signings, it’s loan deals. Yes, there’s been a bit of business in the Championship, but League One, League Two, there hasn’t been a massive outlay in transfer fees.”

WHAT MACANTHONY SAID

Wrexham appear to have invested wisely once again, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-go-again-january-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-transfer-prediction-red-dragons-tipped-automatic-promotion-league-one/blt069f13261ce545f4" target="_blank">10 points being picked up in their opening four games</a> of the 2024-25 campaign. Only goal difference is keeping them off the top of the table heading into a cross-border derby date with Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.
