    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Wrexham are the first side to take three successive steps up the EFL ladder, with plans for life in the Championship now being drawn up.

    WHAT KASEY KELLER SAID

    Keller has told ESPN FC: “I’ve covered Wrexham a couple of summers in a row now, with their pre-season stuff for ESPN. I’ve spoken to McElhenney twice, and I said: ‘What’s Plan B because we haven’t had to see it yet?'

    “The next summer, we laughed because I had to ask him exactly the same question because Plan A keeps working! And if I do talk to him again this next summer, I have to ask him the exact same question: ‘What’s Plan B?’ – because Plan A has just continued to work and three consecutive promotions is tremendous.”

  • WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?

    Wrexham will need several plans when joining the second tier of English football, as that division is notoriously competitive. They have, however, already shown - through the club’s documentary series - that anything is possible when you dare to dream big.
