"“We are on the precipice of the Premier League. We don't know if it's going to happen this year, but it's very, very close,” Mac told On The Red Carpet. “The playoff match, the one that decides who's going up into the Premier League and who isn't, is considered the most expensive sports match on earth,” added Reynolds."
"“One team reaches the Empyrean heights of success, is immediately granted the TV ad revenue for an entire league, an ungodly amount of money that almost instantly evaporates into infrastructure, players, salaries, wages, everything you would need to be equipped for a Premier League team. And the other club goes back to fighting it out again in that league and hopefully returning next year as a contender.”"
"“You can't write this, you can't plan for this. There's nothing we've done that is like a strategically imperative that got us here except getting the hell out of our own way and their way...the people who know football, not making football decisions, letting those people who are qualified to do so do their job and do it well has been the secret sauce here,” said Reynolds."
Wrexham Red Dragons, purchased in 2021, has progressed from near the bottom of the English Football League to the Championship League through consecutive promotions. Season five centers on the push to reach the Premier League, described as being very close to happening. The playoff match that determines promotion is framed as the most expensive sports match on earth, with major TV ad revenue for the promoted club and a different financial outcome for the club that does not advance. The Championship season begins with significant club changes, including the loss of key players. The approach emphasizes removing obstacles and allowing qualified football professionals to make football decisions.
