Will Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney spend again in January? Why Wrexham’s Hollywood owners will make transfer funds available if question is asked

The Hollywood co-owners at SToK Racecourse have invested heavily in the Welsh outfit since completing their stunning takeover of the club – on and off the field. Phil Parkinson has pieced together a squad that was good enough to win the National League title last season, and currently has them riding high in the League Two table this term.

Ahead of another opportunity to bolster the ranks in early 2024, former Red Dragons defender Frank Sinclair has told Football League World when asked if Wrexham will splash more cash: “Knowing Phil Parkinson and how he's worked in the past, I don't think he'll just buy players for the sake of buying players. They may well recruit and strengthen in areas that give the squad a little more strength in depth. They're going well already, they've got that habit of winning games that they've taken from the National League into the EFL with them. Every team wants to strengthen and the best time to strengthen is when you're in a place of strength. Certainly, if Phil Parkinson goes to the owners and says: 'We might need this and that just to get us through the season'. I'm sure they'll back him like they have done since they took over.”

Reynolds and McElhenney have made it possible for Wrexham to snap up the likes of Ollie Palmer, Elliot Lee, Jacob Mendy, Steven Fletcher and James McClean, while prolific striker Paul Mullin – who has hit 88 goals for the club through 111 appearances – was among their first pieces of business.

Wrexham are expected to add again in upcoming windows, as they look to move their way through the divisions and ever closer to the Premier League, with Billy Sharp – who ruffled a few feathers in North Wales when facing the Red Dragons with Sheffield United last season – admitting that he may be tempted to add even more firepower to Parkinson’s squad after leaving MLS side the LA Galaxy as a free agent.
