"Wrexham have been linked with a 19 million transfer for a new centre-forward, with the club reported to have launched a bid for Angers striker Sidiki Cherif. A few years ago that might have raised our eyebrows, but now it feels a bit more likewell, yeah. Of course they have. The fact that Wrexham are now a very wealthy club is not particularly news at this point. Their presentation as a fairytale story is true for them and their fans."
"The cuddly veneer put on the club by the Disney+ cameras and their charismatic owners does not disguise the fact that Wrexham have spent their way into this position. We're not saying that to be cynical or to have a moan about modern football. It's over 30 years since Blackburn Rovers enjoyed a similar rise under Jack Walker, who took over a second-tier club in 1991 and delivered the Premier League trophy just four years later"
Wrexham have been linked with a £19 million bid for Angers striker Sidiki Cherif, indicating readiness to invest heavily in a new centre-forward. The club has become very wealthy and projects a fairytale image amplified by Disney+ coverage and high-profile owners. Significant spending has driven Wrexham's rapid rise, drawing parallels with Blackburn Rovers under Jack Walker, when heavy investment led from lower divisions to a Premier League title. The Wrexham case demonstrates how new media can expand a club's marketing footprint and underscores that many lower-league clubs have substantial financial resources within regulatory constraints, which are less onerous below the Championship.
