Wrexham: Could Hollywood owned club really reach the Premier League?

0
For those wondering what next for Wrexham, the message from one half of the Hollywood ownership is unequivocal.

"Not. Done. Yet."

Rob McElhenney had been asked to sum up events at the Stok Cae Ras on Saturday as the north Wales club celebrated reaching the second-tier of English football for only the second time in its history.

It is quite the statement, given the rapid rise under McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds has already seen Wrexham go from the lower end of the non-league fifth tier to one step away from the Premier League.

But the story appears far from over given the plans for the next steps, some taking place within hours of Phil Parkinson's side sealing an unprecedented third successive promotion.

"Four years ago, this man [McElhenney] said our goal is to make it to the Premier League," Reynolds told Sky Sports after the win over Charlton Athletic.

"And there was understandably a lot of titters, laughter and giggles - but it's starting to feel like a tangible thing that could actually come to fruition."

The success so far has long shown the A-list backed ambition is no joke.

But as they prepare to head to the Championship, do Wrexham have what it takes to compete with new rivals such as Leicester City, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion?

And can Wrexham really go up another level and make it to the Premier League?
