Or Reading and Wigan. Bournemouth and Brentford still have wealthy owners, the premiership money and assets for now.
Blackburn have the history, the trophies and were one of the founder members whereas Reading, Wigan, Bournemouth, Brentford are fairly recent.
Yeah, I wouldn’t include Blackburn because, as ridiculous as their story was, they weren’t typically a third tier club like Wrexham, Brentford or Bournemouth…..or even Watford & Oxford, who were doing the hobby club thing in the 80s. Brentford & Bournemouth only about a decade into their little jaunts, so plenty of time for them to come back the other way.
Just the 8 strikers on their books now Paul Mullin Elliot Lee Mo Faal Steven Fletcher Ollie Palmer Jack Marriott Sam Smith Jay Rodriguez
https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/2025/january/31/signed---jay-rodriguez-signs-for-wrexham/ 35 now. Seems only yesterday he was a kid on loan for us. Time flies.
2 goals in 25 this season aged 35 more injuries behind him than I care to remember and just the small matter of 40k a week at Burnley, ffs, seriously be lucky to finish season.
All this stuff about Wrexham sounds like jealousy to me. By the way I admit to being foooking jealous, must be great being a Wrexham fan these last few seasons. Let’s not get above ourselves here, people would say same about us if it happened to be our turn to have Hollywood owners !......wish one of them film stars would turn up at our club and spend their brass ffs.
Doesn’t look like Faal has done much for them. Was one on our radar in the Summer if I recall correctly.
