Wrexham's remarkable rise: From near oblivion to the cusp of the Premier League

The story of Wrexham and their celebrity-backed rise through the English soccer pyramid continues to amaze, as the club now thrives in League One. But they'd still need a lot if they're to reach the Premier League.

Wrexham, a football club with a rich history, has been on an incredible journey since 2021. The club, which was on the brink of oblivion, has been taken over by a group of celebrities and is now thriving in League One. But the question on everyone's mind is: can they really reach the Premier League?

The club's rise has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2021, Wrexham was taken over by a group of celebrities, including Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds. Since then, the club has been on a steady rise through the English soccer pyramid. In 2022-23, the club was promoted to League Two, and last season, they were promoted again to League One.

The club's success is due in large part to the celebrity owners. McElhenney and Reynolds have brought a lot of attention to the club, and their investment has allowed the club to sign some quality players. The club's manager, Phil Parkinson, has also been a key part of the club's success. Parkinson has been able to bring together a group of players who are hungry for success and has created a team that is difficult to beat.

But the club's success has also brought with it some challenges. The club's wage budget is relatively small compared to other clubs in League One, and they will need to be creative in the transfer market if they are to continue their rise. The club also needs to improve its infrastructure, including its training ground and academy. And of course, the club will need to continue to perform well on the pitch if they are to have any chance of reaching the Premier League.

The future is looking bright for Wrexham. The club is currently top of League One, and they have a realistic chance of promotion to the Championship. If they can achieve that, they will be just one step away from the Premier League. But the journey is far from over, and the club will need to continue to work hard if they are to achieve their ultimate goal.
