Wrexham is set to play their first Championship match in over 40 years against Southampton. The club, purchased by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2020, has achieved an unprecedented rise through three consecutive promotions. Former player David Prutton commented on Wrexham's ambitions, acknowledging the challenge they face against teams also vying for Premier League promotion. Coach Phil Parkinson's strategy is to solidify the team's defense while aiming for future success, despite the tough competition this season.
Wrexham play their first match in the second tier for more than 40 years on Saturday, when they visit freshly relegated Southampton in a lunchtime Championship clash.
The Hollywood-backed Red Dragons were relegated from the old Division Two in 1982 and would go on to spend 15 seasons in non-league before the arrival of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Wrexham's ambition is admirable - it has been inspiring because of what they have achieved and what they still think they're capable of achieving.
Phil Parkinson knows the Championship, he will be pragmatic and he'll make them defensively solid.
