Wrexham A.F.C. Mae'n wastad heulog yn Gogledd Cymru

Mansfield blows it open in stoppage time 4-1

 

I mean yeah they money whipped league two and always were. The team they have won’t get top half in league one

 

They won’t be able to sell any of their players because they’re all overpaid.

 

Would love to see the bonuses they paid for promotion. Probably like 2m+

 

So they toil for a couple years in league 1 while they get their finances back in order and finally finish the Kopp addition before making the push to the championship with a roster more in line with what is needed.

 

I’ll be interested to see how they operate when they get to the championship. Seems like rob & ryan each put in $1m and that’s been the extent of their investment

almost every champ team that is successful operates at pretty substantial loss

maybe they’ll be able to get enough ad revenue from US companies to make up for that

 

the team is definitely operates at a loss. Pretty sure something came out recerntly that the club owes both of them a few million dollars each.

 

Pretty sure it was in the 10-15 million range

 

At least now they get access to that sweet, sweet pot of League One TV money.

 

Pretty fucking cool story

Hope the fans don't turn into cunts if they take a while to get promoted again

 

Sounds like a bunch of their defenders are free agents.

Josh Knight, plays for the posh, is a free agent after the season and has been one of the better defenders in league one. A move to QPR collapsed at the deadline for him. Wrexham should offer him £10k/week.

 

Cross posting from the SA/Mex thread:

 

They’re in for a rude awakening next season

 

Can’t be any worse than their first year in National League. They’ll be mid table which is fine. The jump from National to League 2 and League 2 to League 1 is much less arduous than League 1 to Championship. Them staying there for multiple seasons isn’t indicative of failure for the club.

 

I’m bummed we only got 2 fixtures against Tranmere but at least in moving to League 1 the rivalry with Shrewsbury Town renews.

 

Excited for the return of the documentary tomorrow.

 

Disappointed they took out the opening theme song

 

Any of those guys worth a cr*d?

 

Lainton, Hayden, Tozer, and Tunnicliffe I believe have been around since S1 or before

 

Lainton was the goalie from season 1 who kept getting hurt.

Tozer was the Center back and former captain who was known for the insane throw in's into the box.

 

Wasn't Davies the local lad? The one who lost his child with his girlfriend?

 

Will be interesting to see how they handle players who are making a bunch of money who aren’t good enough for league one. I guess loan deals where they pay a big portion of the salary

Their shitty defenders bring out of contract is clutch for them

 

That's Jordan Davies. Dan Davies was an academy kid I think?

 

Almost like it was planned

 

Hulu is telling me I didn’t watch the final episode of season 2, guess I missed that one. Looks like it’s about balloon Notts County so did I really miss it though? Ha, we love to crack wise around here.

 

How much can they keep overpaying vs their competition till financial fair play comes into the picture?

 

it's based on revenue so prob a lot

derby was capped at paying players 10k/week and a bunch of their players were on that and they were second relatively comfortably.

 

So when Deadpool and Wolverine makes 2 billion they’ll be able to field a Prem side. Sweet.
