Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have both spoken about taking Wrexham to the Premier League recently.
Rob McElhenney is backing more Wrexham success following the club winning promotion from League One.
They will now be competing in the second tier of English football next season, doing so for the first time since the 80s.
Despite having never played in the Championship previously, McElhenney dismissed ‘consolidation’ claims in a recent social media message.
Meanwhile, Wrexham will reach the Premier League in the next decade, Ryan Reynolds predicted.
But if they are going to secure a place in the top flight for the first time ever, a lot of change is expected.

Kevin Ratcliffe predicts only ‘fragments’ of Wrexham squad will remain
Wrexham need to increase their wage bill to compete in the second tier and will have to spend even more if they want to win promotion to the Premier League.
No side has ever won three promotions in a row, while only a small number of teams have ever gone straight from League One to the top tier.
Now, BBC Radio Wales Sport pundit Kevin Ratcliffe has been discussing the prospect of reaching the Premier League.
When doing so, he suggested only ‘fragments’ of Phil Parkinson’s current team will still be at the club in two years.
He said: “I think it’s going to take a few seasons. Because you’re going to need a whole new squad maybe in that time.
“I think there’ll be a whole squad difference in the next two years. There will be fragments of this (current) squad playing.”

Wrexham told to sign new striker
The club are already being linked with a number of players going into the summer transfer window.
And Ratcliffe believes Wrexham will need a 20-goal centre-forward to compete in England’s second division.
“If Wrexham want to get into the Premier League, they’ve got to get better players in.
“That’s what they have done every season. Even if they’re like-for-like, they’ve been better players than the ones who’ve been left out.
“It’s hard to think you’re going to get anyone better than Paul Mullin, but then in comes Smith and you see that extra bit of fizz.
“They’re definitely going to have to find a 20-goal-a-year man to play at Championship level. Is Smith that man? I’m not quite sure yet.”
Callum Robinson and Ryan Hardie are linked, but they scored 12 and 10 goals each in the Championship across 2024/25.
