Wrexham are set to compete in the Championship for the first time since it was rebranded, and one club chief has been discussing the upcoming season.
The Red Dragons won their third successive promotion on April 26, beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 to secure their place in the 2025/26 Championship.
Wrexham face Southampton in their opening match of the forthcoming campaign, which is now under three weeks away.
The second tier of English football will be the club’s biggest test yet, and there have already been suggestions Phil Parkinson isn’t good enough for the Championship.
However, one Wrexham chief has high hopes for 2025/26, with the rest of the league put on notice.

Why Championship rivals should be worried about Wrexham
Ben Foster and Ben Tozer have shared their predictions for Wrexham vs Southampton.
It will be a tough match against a team that spent last year in the Premier League and have parachute payments to fund their summer transfer business.
Now, Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson has been discussing the forthcoming Championship campaign and has explained why ‘people should be worried’ and backed Wrexham to make a ‘run’ in the play-offs.
He told journalist Ben Stang: “The expectation is, and Rob McElhenney will say that he doesn’t know what this word is, but obviously we need to consolidate our position in the Championship,” Williamson told AFP.
“If we are able to find ourselves halfway through the season, in December, in that 3-4-5-6-7 position, people should be worried about us.
“Because I believe if we make the playoffs with the type of mentality that we have, anything can happen in 90 minutes.
“I really would give ourselves a strong shot of giving it a run.”
Wrexham Championship prediction by supercomputer
A lot can happen between now and May 2026, with the summer transfer window still in full swing and potential for more recruitment in January.
Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds went big in the last winter window when promotion looked to be on the cards, and that could well happen again next term.
Wrexham’s 2025/26 Championship season had already been predicted by a supercomputer and lines up with Williamson’s ambitions.
It said the Red Dragons would achieve a sixth-place finish, which would put them into the play-off places.
