Wrexham aiming to 'get right to the very top' of English football under Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney as Phil Parkinson offers insight into 'building' process

League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

<p>Wrexham have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/wrexham-value-increased-300-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-takeover-league-two-club/blt311de54c883247f4" target="_blank">making waves ever since McElhenney and Reynolds</a> took ownership of the Welsh club in 2021. The club have risen from the National League all the way into League One and are currently sitting second in the table and eyeing another promotion to the Championship. Wrexham director Shaun Harvey&nbsp;has previously admitted the club's ambition <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ambition-premier-league-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-aim-stars-wrexham-not-easy-warning-sounded/bltd69801c78ec00a5e" target="_blank">"must be to get to the Premier League,"</a> and Parkinson has now acknowledged he is aiming for the "very top".</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Wrexham boss told <a href="https://sports.williamhill.com/betting/en-gb" target="_blank">William Hill</a> at the Football Writers’ Association Northern Managers Awards: “I think you’ve always got to dream. You’ve got to want to get right to the very top and be ambitious; that’s what it’s all about. That’s not us getting carried away by any stretch of the imagination. We know we’ve got a huge challenge ahead of us this season. I’m putting structures in place, in terms of the squad, for years to come, and the owners are building the club behind the scenes to make us a strong, sustainable club for years to come. Of course we want to keep progressing, but so do a lot of other teams! We’re doing everything we can to continue taking the club forward.”</p>

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

<p>Wrexham have enjoyed a strong start to the new season but have been hit with some injuries to key players that will test the depth of their squad. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/another-wrexham-transfer-question-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-phil-parkinson-injured-jack-marriott-broken-leg/blt69e56021c64f765f" target="_blank">Jack Marriott has been ruled out with a broken leg,</a> while fellow attacker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/phil-parkinson-surprise-wrexham-transfer-admission-confirms-steven-fletcher-blow-toothless-performance-huddersfield/blt65c6a4bfa92e3409#csde56b390a0fecf0b" target="_blank">Steven Fletcher has also been sidelined</a> in what Parkinson has described as a "real blow" for his side. Wrexham may now be tempted to dip into the transfer window in January in a bid to boost their attack and keep their promotion ambitions on track.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Wrexham are back in League One action on Saturday at Charlton before their focus switches to an FA Cup first-round clash with Harrogate Town.</p>
