WHAT HAPPENED?

Football finance expert Dr Rob Wilson has told BonusCodeBets: “Wrexham have a very similar story to Inter Miami. It’s different in terms of league and style of player but the story ostensibly is the same and because they're creating a narrative. At Inter Miami, David Beckham created the narrative as a shareholder and has brought in loads of household names led by Lionel Messi, which started with Gonzalo Higuain. They have gone on to create a narrative that is gonna be really compelling, you would say the same about Wrexham. It's a town on the up as a consequence of the football team, those narratives create interest which creates column inches, which creates finance, which creates sport and performance.”

WHAT THE EXPERT SAID

Having now <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-global-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-generate-celtic-esque-support-eoghan-o-connell-big-as-it-wants/bltbfb52968abce0ed6" target="_blank">reached the third tier of English football</a>, Wrexham are being tipped to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/phil-parkinson-reveals-when-transfer-questions-asked-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-spend-league-one/blt200265462ee0b431" target="_blank">dip back into the transfer market</a> for players with top-flight pedigree. Wilson added heading towards the summer window: “Wrexham could target Premier League players when they’re in League One, especially players that are nearing retirement, but it will come down to Profit and Sustainability Rules. In the same way that Cristiano Ronaldo has moved to Saudi and the Saudi Pro League to try and boost the brand there, top level Championship, lower level Premier League players that are perhaps searching for that last contract that could benefit their profile, like Ben Foster. There's absolutely an opportunity for those sorts of players to go in there whether they can deliver because it's really competitive in those divisions.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham will need to spend <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-already-playing-catch-up-wrexham-promoted-league-one/blt0be26b93c9ef91fa" target="_blank">in order to remain competitive in League One</a>, despite already having the likes of Paul Mullin, Elliot Lee and James McClean on their books. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-say-wrexham-transfers-phil-parkinson-reveals-how-recruitment-works-hollywood-owners/bltff935dd8c9479a1d " target="_blank">Reynolds and McElhenney will do all they can to make the required funds available</a> to manager Phil Parkinson.
