<p>The Red Dragons <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-36m-spending-room-wrexham-transfer-boost-exhilarating-proposition-red-dragons-not-far-behind-championship-big-hitters/blt6ec568c85a59aa98" target="_blank">have shown big ambition in the transfer market,</a> with recruitment records being broken on a regular basis. Star striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenny-wrexham-warned-2m-mistake-hollywood-co-owners-breaking-transfer-record-wrong-striker/blt5371668bd1058183" target="_blank">Sam Smith became their most expensive piece of business in January when joining from Reading for £2 million</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>One-cap England international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/club-deserves-wrexham-desperate-make-history-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-england-international-hollywood-project-north-wales/blt16edb082dfd5f381" target="_blank">Jay Rodriguez is also at SToK Racecourse</a>, while there has been talk of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jamie-vardy-reynolds-mcelhenney-wrexham-leicester-exit-emotional-message/blt696d6f13d35850d7" target="_blank">move being made for Premier League title winner Jamie Vardy</a> following his release by Leicester.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Regardless of what they do and achieve, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-rivals-jealous-red-dragons-green-eyed-monster/blt0747835915f571b5" target="_blank">more will always be demanded of ambitious co-chairmen</a> and those operating behind the scenes. Humphrey Ker found that out the hard way when filling an executive director role in North Wales.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>He has told the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08TAap4lpGc " target="_blank"><em>Men In Blazers</em></a> podcast of why he stepped out of that post and into a community director role: "As the club has grown, I found that my role as a sort of executive figure, and sort of sub-board level, was less and less necessary. Michael Williamson the new CEO and so many new members of staff… we just keep hiring people left right and centre, which is brilliant because we are growing and we desperately needed to do that stuff.</p><p>"But I was getting loads of emails from people being like, ‘Why haven’t you signed Kevin De Bruyne’, [and] ‘Could you play Ross Common in a friendly because I’m going there‘."</p>

WHAT HUMPHREY KER SAID

<p>Ker is now able to focus on matters that he feels more passionate about, as Wrexham continue to grow as a club and brand, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-changed-man-wrexham-away-end-experience-hollywood-co-owner-spiritual-journey-blackpool-promotion/blt9e9bde23426ef417" target="_blank">trips to matches being taken in alongside McElhenney and Reynolds</a> as Phil Parkinson seeks to deliver a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-real-madrid-champions-league-why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-believe-in-miracles-premier-league-promotion-dream/blt40348ee6ec642a07" target="_blank">historic third successive promotion</a>.</p>
