    This…..and their fans suddenly giving it large and getting a sense of entitlement.

    I don't get the dislike to Wrexham one bit, a relatively small club who've had a couple of rich guys come in and pump money into them, using a model with the documentary that other clubs have copied.
    They've gained huge fame and generated big money in the U.S , think their last accounts showed a 27m turnover, they haven't been pumped with Saudi oil money.
    Having suffered some pretty hard times where their existence has been in doubt they are now enjoying a glittering chapter in their long history, but it seems people begrudge them that and they've shouldn't be allowed to spend money to gain success, there is a notion that you can only rise through the leagues spending 10p to be be classed as doing it correctly, which is absolute nonsense in this day and age.

    Comes to bitterness and jealousy if you ask me, they've rattled a few clubs who've had their noses pushed out and fans don't like it, but will glady watch some greedy PL team being pumped with dirty Saudi oil money.

    Good luck to them I say, some clubs would like to be in their position and they'd be lying if they said otherwise.

    2 things there.

    1.You might feel jealous, but you’re not speaking for all fans.

    2. The majority of clubs that have had big investment, were already big, well supported top flight clubs. If Money wasn’t a thing, they would still be the best clubs, for the most part.

    Why would I be jealous and say I don't get the dislike towards them and argue their cause wishing them well?
    Secondly are we only allowed to have big clubs that have success by spending money? So if we were taken over by by owners who wanted to spend money and we got to the PL would it not count the same as a big club?
    Money is everything now within the game like it or not.
    Like I said they've rattled clubs and people think they aren't deserving of their success because it's a small club outspending some of the so called big boys, how dare they threaten the heiracy.

    I think it’s been brilliant for Wrexham fans who virtually define the word long suffering. I think a seasoning consolidation ahead and nothing wrong with that.

    I think you’re envious of them, and that explains why you think others might be, but it’s not the case. I loved BFC getting to the Prem, and our other achievements, and that our gates are ok without celebrity owners.

    I don’t think they’re threatening anything, let alone a ‘heiracy’. They’re just coming in, buying support and popularity which the club could never have done off its own back. Actually I’ll take that back. If Wrexham, Reading, Brentford & Wigan fans had turned out in the same numbers prior to the money, they probably wouldn’t have needed a sugar daddy to save them in the first place.

    I know there are people on here who would gladly see us go the same way, but im not one of them. I’m not jealous of anything that’s manufactured.

    I’ve got a nice prestige car. It’s 10 yrs old but it’s paid for. If my neighbour had a brand new one on the tick, I wouldn’t be envious. That’s how I see life and football as well.
