Wrexham are determined that their story does not end with their latest promotion.
Rob McElhenney believes Wrexham’s rise will continue and alongside Ryan Reynolds, they are determined to attain the ultimate goal of Premier League football.
Ryan Longman has highlighted a key attribute that Wrexham possess in showing ‘grit’ during games and this will be hugely beneficial in the step up to the second tier.
Phil Parkinson will already be formulating plans for next season, Wrexham have interest in Ryan Hardie. After the Wrexham owners recent comments, the fans will have belief in more ambition being shown.
Ryan Reynolds agrees with Rob McElhenney on Wrexham ‘consolidation’ stance
McElhenney dismissed Wrexham ‘consolidation’ claims amid promotion from League One and speaking on the latest ‘Fearless in Devotion’ podcast, Reynolds has backed his co-owner.
Reynolds stated: “Consolidation, yeah that’s just generally kind of a horrible word right? I mean consolidation is like a disease.
“So no, consolidation is a big no thank you but listen Rob is welcome to choose whatever word he wants to make an enemy of but I don’t want to do that too much.”
Wrexham’s £40m Championship boost should ensure that the club are able to compete in the summer transfer window and gather a squad that is ready to once again aim for lofty heights.
Positions that Wrexham need to strengthen
Wrexham’s squad will need to be trimmed with EFL rules stating Championship sides can only name 25 players, including goalkeepers.
Parkinson has admitted departures will happen this summer with the likes of Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer among the high-profile names expected to leave the Racecourse Ground.
However, the Red Dragons will feel there are a number of areas that will need improving amid the challenge of the Championship.
Central midfield will need one or two more options and Wrexham fans have been crying out for a number ten in the last couple of seasons – a player who can create chances from deep.
Jay Rodriguez’s difficult start to life in North Wales means another striker is a real possibility, whilst one or two more defensive options would also be handy for the manager to have at his disposal.
