Sky is the limit for Wrexham

Wrexham's new-found corporate appeal under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney means the Welsh club are not concerned about spending caps in the English Football League (EFL), according to executive director Humphrey Ker.

After 15 years in the National League, Wrexham were promoted back to the EFL on Saturday thanks to heavy investment from Reynolds and McElhenney since they took control from a supporters' trust in 2021 for an initial £2 million ($2.5 million) investment.

But they have reportedly spent £10 million in total restructuring the club and investing in player transfers and wages.

League Two clubs, where Wrexham will play next season, can spend up to 50 per cent of their turnover on player-related expenditure for players aged 21 and over.

However, the global attention garnered by "Deadpool" star Reynolds and McElhenney, most famous for his role in comedy series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", has seen Wrexham attract major sponsors, social media platform TikTok and travel company Expedia.

"We're not losing too much sleep about that (spending caps). I think we'll fall well within the boundaries of what we are permitted to spend."

"We feel that the sky's the limit for Wrexham," he added. "The interest in this club is astronomical."
