Amazed that everyone in the local press seem to have missed the fact that ASC, the new investors have as their Chief Strategy Director none other than previous member of the Swans Board, Sam Porter.

Serious money behind the fund. Also interesting to note that the money flows into the club (as did the Allyn money). Unlike certain other recent ‘investments’.

They’ll be big enough at that point for it not to matter.

All this ‘brand’ nonsense. Football is heading the way of the American sporting franchise system. Wrexham will end up playing league games all over the world, and if our hierarchy get their way so will we.
I don’t like it but I don’t blame them, it’s the world we live in, where the ‘brand’ is promoted before heritage.

Wrexham, boiling piss since 2021.

If they continue on this trajectory, they’ll be Premier League soon enough. I’m not old enough to have remembered playing them before this season so I don’t really feel anything towards them, I’m just glad it isn’t Cardiff.

It’ll be interesting to see how far Parkinson can take them, they’ll likely have to make a change at some stage despite the job he’s doing there (albeit with more resources than he’s ever had).

Infrastructure, increased support, no debt. Easy to be huffy and say it's all a 'Disney Bubble', but Reynolds is a shrewd operator and McElhenny is clearly bitten by the bug. It's not so far from where I lived until this time last year and the investment in Wrecsam as an area and the confidence it has brought (it made Swansea look like Vegas) has been significant. Good luck to them, They have invested in community and the club. Most folk from Wrecsam are pretty decent and I don't begrudge them having something positive after looking at their wealthy neighbour across the border for decades.
