Wrexham AFC are in strong contention to achieve back-to-back promotions as they head into the final stage of their League Two campaign.
Phil Parkinson’s side are currently third in the table and, if they manage to hold their nerve, reaching League One would represent a good return on the large investment made by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Despite their success, some pundits have cast doubts on whether the Red Dragons will be able to challenge again if they get to the third tier.
However, one person who believes they can reach the Championship is Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony, and he’s also made a bold prediction on just how fast they can get there.
MacAnthony says Wrexham could reach second tier very soon
Speaking to talkSPORT, Posh owner MacAnthony said: “I said to my wife three years ago, when this whole thing started, they will be in the Championship in four years’ time.
“She was like: ‘It’s never going to happen’. And I’m like: ‘Trust me, they will be in the Championship, and we’ll probably be in League One’.
“They’ll be in the Championship because they can pay seven, eight or nine grand a week on players and we can’t. That’s the dynamic of the game.”
Discussing his thoughts on the club’s owners, he said: “I have respect for anyone who comes in and spends very little of their own money, then turns a project into being worth a lot more money.
