Reynolds, McElhenney and Co have, however, been urged to stay in their lane. Marc Lloyd Williams – the Cymru Premier's all-time record goalscorer – has told BBC Radio Wales: "I am not sure what the [Cymru Premier] clubs think about it. For me, the four clubs made the decision to play in England, so stay in England. Don’t try and take those European spots off the Cymru Premier teams. It is their bread and butter, week in, week out."
"Swansea, Cardiff, Wrexham and Newport are in the Football League and the FA Cup and EFL Cup. They have got a chance to play Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal with a home tie and get big crowds in. Just because TNS have qualified for Europe, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Cardiff or Swansea or Wrexham or Newport would. For me, you can’t be having your cake and eating it. They have made their decision and I would be against them coming in."
