Wrexham sent major 'not big hitters in the Championship' warning with Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney needing to 'buy a lot of players' to reach Premier League

<p>Since the Hollywood stars assumed control of Wrexham in 2021, the club’s trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. The North Wales side has stunned the footballing world by clinching three promotions in succession, a feat never before achieved in the history of English football. From battling in the National League just a few years ago, the Red Dragons now find themselves in Championship football, with eyes set on an even greater target —<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/300m-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-valuation-update-bid-reach-premier-league/blt66082c0886b3db7a#csb5de2a613e0b5285" target="_blank"> the Premier League. </a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Wrexham’s story has captured hearts globally, former England international Chris Waddle has sounded a note of caution. He believes the Championship will present a vastly different challenge compared to what the club has previously faced, one that demands <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-told-how-many-signings-wrexham-need-championship-promotion-push-button-transfer-records-broken/blt4822b399207e0fca" target="_blank">significant squad restructuring </a>and financial commitment. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://yaysweepstakes.com/" target="_blank"><em>yaysweepstakes.com</em></a>, Waddle said: "Wrexham coming to the Championship, they'll not be big hitters in the Championship. They'll not be because you're talking wages that will be completely different from what they're on now.</p><p>"We'll see how they fare - they might need to buy a lot of players. Every league is harder and Wrexham's an aging team. Will they invest in buying players like they have done so far, signing players in their 30s? Their dream is to get in the Premier League, but if you want to go to the Premier, you're talking a lot of money to get out of that Championship." </p>

WHAT WADDLE SAID

<p>For now, Wrexham’s players are set to enjoy the spoils of their historic success. Reynolds and McElhenney are once again funding <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bellagio-liquid-lunch-wrexham-living-dream-las-vegas-james-mcclean-steven-fletcher-sun-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/bltc2c9d6378540a722" target="_blank">a celebratory trip to Las Vegas</a>, a gesture that’s become something of a tradition under their ownership. After the confetti settles, Wrexham must turn its focus to recruitment, planning, and preparation. The leap to the Championship represents the most formidable challenge yet in their fairy-tale ascent.  </p>
