Wrexham’s ambition to rise up the EFL under the well-known Hollywood ownership duo of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been one of the biggest footballing narratives in recent times as they ended their fourteen-year exile from League Two last term.
And upon that return, Phil Parkinson’s side are showing all the hallmarks required to make back-to-back promotions a reality, currently sitting two points behind leaders Stockport County.
Dean Saunders discusses Wrexham’s promotion chances
Dean Saunders, a well-known figure to Red Dragons supporters through his three-year spell as manager at the STōK Cae Ras between 2008 and 2011, has been talking about his former side’s global notoriety through the Disney+ ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary and their upcoming chances of promotion.
Saunders said via Instant Casino: “I’ve heard there’s a big Welcome to Wrexham sign at LAX Airport. Paul Mullin is more famous in America than he is in Wrexham. It’s amazing.
“Wrexham have finally joined the Football League, which was the most important thing. I always thought that the club could go through the leagues and into the Championship – we’ve seen plenty of other teams do it. It looks like Wrexham will, too,” Saunders continued.
“I think Wrexham should take the season in four-game segments, and winning four in a row should be a target the players should aim for. But how they approach it is down to Phil Parkinson, I think he’s doing a great job.”
He added: “Wrexham look as though they’re getting there, and the gap between the top two and the playoff teams will start opening some more if recent results continue. Some of the teams in League Two are not as good as the teams in the National League, and it looks like a bit of a gap is opening up with Stockport, Wrexham, and Mansfield.”
