"And it's fair to say Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have dug deep over recent months to heavily bolster Phil Parkinson's ranks. A total of 13 players moved to the Stok Cae Ras over the summer for the club's first season in the second tier in 43 years."
"Southampton and Ipswich Town - who were both relegated from the Premier League earlier this year - were the only English Football League (EFL) sides to spend more than Wrexham, although they both recouped those fees and more via sales. Despite being outspent by all 20 Premier League sides this summer, Wrexham's lack of big-money sales ensured they had a higher net spend than Bournemouth (-87m), Brighton & Hove Albion (-64m), Brentford (-49m), Crystal"
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney significantly increased Wrexham's spending after promotion, funding 13 incoming players for the club's first Championship season in 43 years. Only a few departures generated income, with Jack Marriott, Luke Bolton and Luke McNicholas the only sales to bring fees. Approximately £30m was spent on recruitment, with potential add-ons able to raise that total further. Transfermarkt records Wrexham's net spend as the highest among the Championship's 24 clubs. Southampton and Ipswich spent more overall but recouped fees via sales. Limited big-money exits left Wrexham with a notably high net spend.
