A truly glorious part of the world. Upstate New York, that is. Not Wrexham. Would happily live there. |

Can hear the throbs from Wilson's erection from here Some interesting stats there! Backs up that we should have more points on the board than we do and that we need to be more clinical as we’re clearly creating good chances. Defensively, I was surprised that we seem to be one of the better teams in the division in terms of limiting chances against. Felt to me like we’ve given up a lot more than we have in previous seasons. Also shows that we need to make a massive improvement at defending set pieces. |

Felt to me like we’ve given up a lot more than we have in previous seasons. Also shows that we need to make a massive improvement at defending set pieces. We barely gave up anything in the first 5 or 6 games, which definitely will have helped. I remember Addai had a negative goals prevented stat after the Mansfield game despite having clean sheets before because of how few shots on target we've faced. Last night we only gave up 0.41 xG and 2 shots too. When we get it right (and usually the right back is key to that) we can be very good defensively. When we don't though we give up very soft and high value chances. |

The two celeb (movie stars) have also now got a minor stake in wrexham lager and taken it international It's what they'll need to go to the next level. R&R/Wrexham don't have the funding or infrastructure to the next level in the Championship where £10m+ transfers happen. But they have an exciting project on the up and massive starpower so they are cashing in on that at a time when Americans are very interested in investing in English football. This / this season where our and Wrexham's paths part off the pitch (us going more the Peterborough / Brentford model) and likely on the pitch soon. |

I'll look forward to the day plucky little Stockport County from league 1, knock the billionaire premier league playboys of Wrexham out of the F.A. cup in their 55K seater stadium in front of 10K of the travelling Blue army then  |

He could take Wrexham to the Premier League on his own if he wanted. |

He could take Wrexham to the Premier League on his own if he wanted. Not sure. He's heading there as he's got plenty of other business interests and is such a big name. A quick Google suggests his networth is about £250m. I think you'd have to pump around £100m into Wrexham to give them a chance of the PL, once you add in infrastructure which is well behind established Championship clubs. Just look at what Birmingham are spending to get out of this league then set themselves up for back to back. I don't think he'd be prepared to risk that much on one project assuming that it's even liquid. |

Or would the interest wain with a couple of poor seasons when they are much closer to the top than the bottom and some of their fans stay away because they cannot take that. |

It might slightly, but just the draw of the teams they'd be playing would be enough to keep plenty interested. I think people need to get over the idea that the owners will lose interest or that fan numbers will not continue to grow. Both are clearly in it for the long run. |

Somebody with a better understanding than me will be able to explain it much better, but I read that these very wealthy people can borrow at really low rates sometimes as low as 1%, they live on borrowing while their own money grows at a much higher rate than their borrowing. |

Get them to the champ, weigh in a profit, leave as heroes and let someone else get on with the pain in the back side bit of the proper infrastructure and prem push. From what I've read theyre nowhere near where we are with an academy yet, don't know how they're getting on with the stand building but they were baning heads at one point with that as well |

Any minority investor would want assurances about them saying as they are a huge part of the brand (and therefore value). I don't think they're in it to make a quick buck. They both have plenty. They genuinely enjoy it I think and it's a bonus that the documentary is making money on the side. They've just bought Wrexham Lager too. Even if they did want to take backseat, I'm sure they would just lower stake but keep an interest and ambassadorial roles. They'd keep a lot of the value and good feeling just having their name still involved (like Brady at Birmingham) and turning up every once in a while. |
