For the first time in history, we have seen a triple promotion.
Wrexham are now in the EFL Championship. Their promotion follows a late-season wobble from Wycome Wanderers, including a 0-1 loss to Leyton Orient (hellow Tottenham friends).
Now Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are one stet closer to their dream of taking the Welsh club to the Premier League. Who knows how long that next step will take. There is s huge, huge gap between League One and the Premier League.
For as bad as Leicester have been this season, it’s hard to believe they’d struggle against a Leage One side.
I know it’s easy to hate on Wrexham right now, given the Hollywoodness of their story.
But I’d like to say, for the record, I didn’t like Wrexham first. That’s because of a Football Manager experience I had with them years ago. Long before Rob and Ryan entered the fold, I took Wrexham out of the National League with a poor squad.
I wanted to refresh the squad. I wanted to buy their football ground, to build it and to create a more sustainable football club. But I was rebuffed at every offer. And so, after much complaining, I was sacked.
But I can’t hold that against this current Wrexham. And next season’s Championship is going ot be very interesting, indeed.
