They have been shown up for having a total lack of respect for League 2. Playing Hollywood friendlies instead of getting a proper preseason test ready for the league. They haven't even signed many players yet, just assumed the team that won the conference would also walk League 2. I don't think they have taken things seriously enough to get promoted this year.They are caught up in their own Hollywood fantasy story. A lot more teams are going to beat them this year. Will be interesting to see at what point they start becoming trigger happy with their managers

Wrexham have arranged a friendly with Vancouver Whitecaps here in June.
Ticket prices (set by Wrexham, bizarrely - and not available directly from the Whitecaps) are 3x the amount it would cost you to see a proper MLS game (not including the Inter Miami game this season, obviously, where the prices are obscene).
Cheapest tickets (corner seats, worst view) £60 equivalent, plus booking fee.
First off, it's entirely arrogant to expect thousands of Canadians to flock to see his sh*tty little Welsh club.
Secondly, how f*cking greedy do you want to be?
Ryan f*cking Disney Reynolds can kiss my rosey red arse, I hope there's less than 2,000 in the ground. Should make Wrexham feel right at home.

I wonder how long they will continue. A journalist asked Reynolds how much he had put in, he said its an eye watering amount. The accounts show, the owners combined have put in 10m. For perspective I would guess AJs total contribution to CU over all the years would not be far off that.
A guy I worked with bought Bristol c, Stevie spent 25m getting them into the championship. I wonder how deep the pockets of the Americans are. In the long run the old guy who ran preston for years put in over 100m. Truly eye watering

Truly eye watering Still not convinced that Reynolds has put any of his own money into Wrexham. More likely he’s the frontman for Disney who will have orchestrated the whole saga. FYI the “ old guy “ was Trevor Hemmings who’s family still own the club !!

The finance guy from preston has a very similar name to so we sit together at dinners ie it's alphabetical. Good stories

FYI the “ old guy “ was Trevor Hemmings whose family still own the club !! The Isle of Man Trevor Hemmings race horse owner Trevor Hemmings had a vast array of companies all of which were profitable he had more money coming in than he knew what do with if he hadnt spend it on Knob end and the horses hed have only paid it in tax. He bought companies on the cheap and always sold them for a bloody good profit. And shouldnt be forgotten that he almost single handedly financed the re build of 3 sides of Deepdale British football needs more owners like him. Worked indirectly for him 3 times and other than PNE being his team i wouldnt say a bad word about him although he had a very short temper and didnt entertain fools gladly. An ex boss of mine Steve Skupski is now the CEO of whats left of Hemmings pub company. [ yes he is the dad of the tennis player ] and is always good for the latest crack from inside deepdale.

They'll be screwed if they finally come up this year, won't they? After the disclosure of the wages they're paying it seems clear they will not be allowed to continue with this policy when they're forced to comply with FFP rules and wages are linked to turnover. I wonder how many of their squad will be forced to take paycuts or will be sold to bring them under the 60% or whatever it is? The whole point of FFP is to ensure clubs are managed sustainably, I don't think anyone could argue Wrexham have been doing this. It's funny how here you moan about the likes of Wrexham throwing money around on players/big wages and not running their club in a sustainable way, yet since the Piataks took over our club all you have done is slag them off for wanting to run our club in a sustainable way and build infrastructure etc. You also criticised Simpson for not splashing the cash last summer, cash we didn't have and would have put us in trouble. Complete hypocrite you are.

When the Wrexham bubble bursts, and it will, it`s going to be fun to watch.
To set another teams tickets prices, for the honour of watching you, is a strange one.
disney have been cooking their books for years, and they`ve probably orchestrated this, and will scoop up all the tickets via one of their shell companies, and give most of them away, to make sure there is a good crowd.

Someday soon the NL will need to make a decision on whether to charge them for what went on last season.
Its a bit strange really coz its pretty certain if theY did Wrexham would settle out of court but they really need to set a precedent in case another club was to try it in future.
But it does make you wonder if the NL have already had the cash via the negotiations that took place re streaming games in the NL.

Complete hypocrite you are. Their problem for them isnt this year when the formula for calculating players currently under contract is pretty lax but will come next season when they have to comply fully in the same way the rest of the clubs do [ its said this derogation is the reason a high percentage of clubs who are promoted into the league go on to be promoted straight into league one. ] but getting promoted means they will have more leeway than if they were bound by the league two limits next season.

If you put the money in as equity, shares, it gets round the rules. You just can't get it back.
If Wrexham want a bunch of 6 foot plus players they can use the 7 dwarves. Never heard anything so bloody stupid.

Complete hypocrite you are. I haven't ever "slagged the Piataks" for wanting to run our club in a sustainable way. Precisely the opposite in fact. Neglecting what's happening on the football field is just about the least sustainable way you can run a football club. The first thing you do is fix the football team, peripherals and infrastructure come second. Also, Mary Poppins failing to spend the available transfer budget both last summer and in January was purely a reflection of his prowess in the transfer market. We "had the cash", he could and would have "splashed it" if he was able. Lastly, typical of the hive mind to try and swing the subject of this thread round to how marvelous the Piataks are and what a horrible person I am for daring to express an opinion not approved by the Piatak cult. Let's keep this thread on topic.

I read not too long back that the Wrexham owners have simply loaned the football club the money to build the club back up and are wanting the money back. When that's called in they'll be back to where they were if there's a club left at all.
