Just another reminder that Wrexham AFC are a League One club 😎
😆
Just need to release some fringe players and get some reinforcements, i.e. qualty centre half to partner EOC, 2 x midfielders 1 attacking 1 enforcer. Smzodics as Mullins understudy 😂.
🎉
8th through 13th would be a fine season for Wrexham. I'm sure Wrexham fans are watching EFL Championship relegation battle with interest right now.
Can you review free agent player that Wrexham suitable to sign this summer and help in league 1
Liam, you are such a great representative of a Wrexham fan - always level headed and well grounded. As much as we wish Rob and Ryan were oil sheiks, they're not and honestly I love that they're using all their creative energy and power to boost this club's potential within their financial means. I'm curious how they will navigate the rising player wages next season.
Many of the players were already on Championship wages this season.
@@carolewynn9407 did you watch the video?
I love the fact that they're using the documentary series + their star power to raise Wrexham's profile to a worldwide audience, and in turn boost the team so that they don't have to keep pouring cash in out of their own pockets. That's how you know they're here for the long haul.
@@carolewynn9407can you provide some evidence and data to support that please?
@@carolewynn9407 Championship wages are around 12-14K a week. I believe the top 10 players at Wrexham make between 6- 10K a week. so I think Rob and Ryan will have to up the wage bill for new transfers for them to even consider Wrexham.
When league one starts, more than half the current squad will be over 30 years old. I feel that next season will be a rebuild season and it will take a couple of seasons to get into the promotion race. Need to get some young players for the future
100%
While I agree, you don't want to do a wholesale rebuild to only find yourself relegated. But with a realistic goal of taking a few years then slowly bring younger players in, keeping your quality older players until the young players will come up to speed.
@@scottsmith8381 Yeah. That was what I meant. A few of the older players will go but they need to build a side that is Championship worthy and they don't have that yet.
This is the biggest challenge they have. The squad had played as a team for two/three years but new and younger guys will need to be added without disrupting the team dynamic.
Every season requires some degree of rebuilding. Also, 30 is just a number. Some 30 year olds haven’t even achieved their peak fitness, while others are past their peak. Must be individualized to each player
Liam, I'm in the US and I really appreciate your take on all things Wrexham. You seem to have a broad knowledge of football in general, and I really like your commentary and predictions on the future of the club. Even at your young age, you are up there with the professional sports commentators. Keep up the good work! ⚽🏴🇺🇸
Liam, you're a fantastic presenter at such a young age! This really is the best Wrexham AFC channel. Up the town!
Seriously, this kid needs to make a career off of this.
Cardiff fan here, i.e., one who remembers some of the great matches we had against Wrexham. Indeed, my first ever Welsh derby was watching Cardiff beat Wrexham 3-2 in the FA Cup at Ninian Park in the 1970s with a last minute winner. Also, some great matches when Wrexham had Gary Bennett as striker. Personally, I think Wrexham's location and your owners' appeal means the club is well-placed for season-long loans from the likes of Liverpool, Everton, Man City, and United. Momentum is everything. Just look at Ipswich. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Wrexham overtook Cardiff and Swansea in the next couple of seasons. Good luck. Enjoy the ride! 👍
Thanks for sharing your story! I agree with your points, and i think that the publicity boost to a young player is also something that will be attractive to clubs. If your 19 year old player goes on loan to Wrexham, not only does he get the experience that you get from any good loaning, but you're also massively increasing how known that player is, if he does well. Known players sell shirts, which will mean the players worth goes up if the parent club ever needs to sell him.
@@TzunSu Spot on! 👍
@@TranscendentalDentist Thanks for being such a good sport! Lots of angry and jealous people out there, glad to see you're not one of them :) Looking forward to meeting you lot in a year or two!
If I remember correctly Billy Ashcroft equalised at 2-2 then you scored a late winner, we were gutted, faggots and chips on the way home to Mold lifted the spirits 😂😂
I’m not a Wrexham fan but it’s great to see someone so excited about their club.
One of the other considerations will be how much can be done in the loan market. Wrexham is not too far away from Liverpool/Manchester, which makes it ideal for sending their rising academy talents. We've seen with Ipswich this season where they got Hutchingson from Chelsea and he's one of the key players for them getting promotion this season.
I just hope Okonkwo gets signed. That would be great.
Congrats to you as well. What a time for you and your fans.
Wrexham FC have really captured the imagination of many football fans. I'm a Liverpool supporter born just down the road from Tranmere now living in Australia. The feel good factor thats running through the hearts of the Wrexham supporters has been nothing but a joy to me. I hope one day hopefully very soon watching Wrexham Fc walking onto the grass of Anfield in the prem. In a game that seems to be about money, Wrexham has been a breath fresh air. Roy Of The Rovers stuff for us older guys and may success carry on onto League One for Wrexham.
I just randomly came across your channel and I can hear the excitement in your voice. I’m so happy for Wrexham and for you. Looking forward to what they do next season! Congrats! Excited to see more videos! A game day vlog maybe?
Wrexham is going to need that new Kop Stand, and fast.
What's the status of it?
The ground will still be too small. Wrexham need a 20k stadium …. Now!
@@jrhartley4819 your right especially moving up the leagues need a stadium 20k+
Building a new stadium! We may need to wait until Deadpool 3 comes out! 😉💰 When the men have a new stadium, the women can take over the Stok Racecourse grounds! 🏟😊
Temporary Kop permit has been extended until end of next season, so work on permanent Kop probably won't start until after then.
Thx for the update Liam! UP THE CHANNEL!! UP THE TOWN!!!
over 5k likes, you smashed that 900 request. and already almost 2k more subs. you're killin it mate, up the channel!
Well said about the promotion bonus. New sponsors signed on will overlook the bonus
Greetings from California! Congratulations to all the fans in Wrexham and beyond. What an amazing accomplishment (I hope that Kop stand is going up soon; you are going to need it)!
I’m a Californian as well! Just found this channel. I don’t have people to talk to about Wrexham FC. If you don’t either let me know. In either case, Up The Town!
@@MuggleN0More CA here too! I have NO one in my town to talk about Wrexham with haha. Although I had a barista compliment my Wrexham hat last week, but thats the first time. And I've had the hat for almost two years
@@history_hunter831 How funny! I don’t have any gear yet. I’ve been looking though!
Angeleno here. Been a fan of the TV show for a couple of years, embarrassed to admit I just started following the club. Can't get tickets, merch that fits, and can't figure out a decent travel plan to get to Wrexham. I guess I have to see them in Santa Clara this summer.
@@nicklim6527 I’m walking the same road as you when it comes to following. I was hoping to watch yesterday’s game but it wasn’t televised. Been looking at Merch but haven’t pulled the trigger.
Hi Liam, you’re a great presenter and love seeing your updates on Wrexham. Many congratulations 🥳 on achieving back-to-back promotions, the club and town has thoroughly deserved this success. Onwards and upwards for 2024/25 😁
Liam, another great video and commentary!
New to the channel, excellent video and very well presented and put together 👍
Great perspective Liam Potential future 2nd commentator on wrexham tv!
Excellent and well informed, well done Liam 👏
Great video Liam! Please keep up the good work of providing the info we need about going up to League 1!!
Great stuff lad. Well done.
Excellent presentation young man, it really is a pleasant experience to hear English being spoken accurately and articulately. Well done.
Hello from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦!!! Great channel !! Love Wrexham !!
I’m from across the pond here in the states. Thank you for breaking it all down, and explaining it so well!
Liam this is the first time I have watched your channel l was very impressed with your presentation Good luck Wrexham you will have a lot to talk about next season
I heard Liam on the latest Wrexham video with his signature "Yea....Come On"
Good video! What about a keeper in case Arthur departs? Who’s on the radar? He didn’t look overly excited like most of them did on Saturday which makes me wonder if he’s going to stick around. Hope he does, fingers crossed
First visit to your channel Liam, great content, keep it up
How about a video on the history of Wrexham . Like great games in the past, old and new rivals. I am from Canada and dont know the history of old rivals etc.
I second this. Maybe a summer project?
This is a nice 90 minute Wrexham history kzhead.info/sun/hppxkraLrmSlrJE/bejne.htmlsi=0QLMYSYvRpZoX_VD
You can find some our old fa cup games on KZhead vs current premium leugue teams
Great to the point content. I’m a super casual as a football fan (Southampton). Good stuff. I think you can afford to put in more of your off script thoughts, it’s engaging and genuine.
So grateful for your channel Liam! Congrats on all your success! From Pennsylvania
Leyton Orient fan here, interesting video, Id say from our experience this season, after being promoted from League 2 last season, you'll be in the playoffs with your current squad. You have a few players who are championship level already and most of the rest of your squad is league 1 level. It was no surprise to anyone that you got promoted this year again looking at that squad. You've done a great job in the Non-league building a squad thats capable to taking you up into league 1. Id be suprised if you didnt finish in the top 6.
Great video mate!
Great to see the enthusiasm and excitement. It will be an interesting season!
Well done Wrexham… I’m happy for the loyal fans who get to see their club back in the football league
I’m not a Wrexham fan, but their journey has been really helpful for a American like me to understand regulation and promotion.
I’m still watching the video, but I have a question about facility requirements. Ben Tozer mentioned a training facility.. but what about capacity requirements of the Racecourse?
Excellent as always Liam 👏🏻👍
think we need 2 years at least in L1. Arthur Okonkwo is only 22, young for a GK. Finish the new stand and the training ground! Early days but a "top 12 finish" would be lovely!
Definitely, take it steady for a few seasons & don't get over ambitious with promotion,if we finish in the top 12 teams, then we had a good season,league 1 is a whole different ball game... But, we will need a bigger stadium, 16,600 ain't going to be enough
Need to set your sights on the playoffs , defensive signings needed .
I'd say give it another year there, and don't be disappointed if it takes more. Build slow and stable, so you keep what you get.
Cracking video mate
10:30 I am really surprised you didn't talk about all of the sponsorship money that the club brings in. Ryan & Rob splash huge on sponsorship deals if I recall correctly.
What a well researched and passionate video. I'm enjoying following Wrexham's rise and this kind of video makes it easier. Thanks for sharing Liam!
Great analysis Liam! Like your deep insight to the inner workings of promotion for teams and the breakdown of the impact such a rise carries with it. From Soccer City, USA (Portland, OR), consider my wife and me subscribers to your channel. Excited to see what comes next for Wrexham A.F.C. Love that your name is also the same as our former CB and now defense coach Liam Ridgewell. That name is legendary in our city! #RCTID #WrexhamAFC
it's kinda cool that wrexham is having this kind of results it's like rob and ryan are playing some gm mode on fc 24.
I would like to see them play Burton Albion, Charlton Athletic and most of all Bristol Rovers. I am willing to wait if Bolton Wanderers go up to the Championship
Hello - Liam - all the way from South Chicago, Illinois.....AWESOME CONGRATULATIONS....You always do a GREAT JOB!!!
incredible analysis, very thorough
Looking forward to Liam’s League 1 content
Earning promotion is wonderful, but I am dreading letting some of the players go (which is needed to improve the roster) because I feel like I have gotten to know them thanks to the documentary. One probable replacement is going to be particularly painful. Not everyone is going to get to make the journey to League One with Wrexham but this group will always be special because of what they achieved. Great content as always, Liam!
Enjoy the ride pal, I remember loving watching Hull City climbing the leagues 👍
Nice vid and I think you met your 900 like goal 😂😂😂
They've really come a long way since their £300K signing of Ollie Palmer was a club record
Liam any ideas who you’d love to see sign for Wrexham - raggett Cb at Portsmouth , definitely would be an upgrade . Mal Benning at shrews would be worth the money and they are struggling financially . Dan kemp ready made for league one decent striker , could work well with mullin .
Liam, I’d love to see you talk football in general with the Man U girl fan that only talks about Tottenham on her KZhead channel.. what a great conversation that would be 🙏
Congrats on the promotion, I'm a Spurs Supporter but I love seeing Welsh Clubs in the English Pyramid do well, I think you guys will finish mid table in League 1 next season and be in League 1 for a while.
great video Liam
Wrexhm: Add three or more junior players on loan from Premier League Clubs..
From a young fella to get to 8 minutes 29 seconds without a single "You know" is a sign he;ll go far. So, I've subscribed.
Nice videos these past few days! You said the transfer stuff will sustain the channel during the summer, but I'd ask you not to totally neglect those grab-bag news updates every now and then! I love those
League one you have to realistically stabilise and keep consistent for this division bring in players over a couple of seasons. People thinking Wrexham will have a chance of winning league 1 are going to be disappointed. Playoffs maybe, but it’s going to be a hard start. Mid table is going to be exciting in this new division.
I'm looking forward to Reading away...hospitality suite with the legend that is Glen Little 🏴⚽️❤ Keep up the great work Liam 👏
the best thing they can do is bring premier league players on loan that need minutes that they wouldn't otherwise get in their current squads. i did this in my wrexham playthrough in Football Manager 23 and it worked out just fine
Transfermarkt isn’t their wage bills. It’s a sum valuation of their player’s transfer value which is based on numerous factors including what league they’re in. You can find estimations of teams’ wage billls on a few different sights. From those estimates that I’ve found, Wrexham this season, would be in the upper tier of L1 wages. I could be wrong about that, but I don’t think so. It’s not unlikely, they’ll be top 3 for wages next year if they sign okonkwo and replace the likes of Hayden, Tunni, Young, Dalby, etc with L1/ch quality players.
We need a training grounds. We won’t go up again without one.
We need to purchase gresford colliery back from wales
I'm a leeds utd fan and massively impressed with how Wrexham have done well done and hope you guys have a gud season in league 1 will be watching
I've been saying that we should sign watt since national league days in 2022, so I can agree with this strongly! Would also get Josh Coburn on loan from Middlesbrough, class 6ft 5" striker 🤩 looking forward to sheffield Wednesday away aswell...
Love the story behind Wrexham and wish the team and owners much success you guys disserve it. But do you think the owners can keep up the funding as like said in this video higher you go the higher the cost and if we talk about prem cost its out of this damn world, or do you think they will need to bring in new investors or look to sell the club to someone else? I hope they can do it as I can see Wrexham being the next rags to riches story.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Okonkwo, I hope he signs for Wrexham but there is a lot of interest from European clubs and Championship sides. Arsenal will want to get as much as possible for him and that may just prove him out of the market for Wrexham. I think if we finish mid table next season that would be an amazing result. As much as I would love to see them reach the Championship you have to be realistic. Remembering that the higher you go the more chance you have of coming back down. I think we will lose Ollie Palmer, the distance from home to Wrexham as well as his age, I think could see him leave for Wimbledon, what we do in the summer will make or break us, losing some players that have been excellent for us, but just aren’t League 1 players will be hard but to stay on the trajectory they want to go then they are going to have to spend wisely. Keep up the great content Liam🇬🇧👍
Dude, you're really good. I'm just me but I'm impressed
Just discovered your channel, Liam - well done! I'm subscribing! My goals for the near future for the club are (in no particular order except for No. 1): 1. Sign Okonkwo 2. Shore up the defense and midfield 3. Sign another quality striker to help Mullin 4. We need a new training ground 5. Get the women in the English system if possible so we can grow that side to its best possible potential. 6. Keep promoting this club internationally as much as possible. This has truly become a global club, and that's no small feat for a lower-tier football club. Keep up the great work! Go Wrexham from South Dakota!
Besides those mentioned signings, McReynolds should target young Premier League guns in the form of LOAN DEALS. For example, I can see Gabriele Biancheri (17 y/o welsh kid from Manchester United reserves), as an excellent option to offer 1st team football for at least one season. He could become easily, if not a starter, an amazing extra lung for the attacking options. Has an amazing fang for goal.
So if all games are going to be on Sky and no more ifollow, if we can't afford the subscription to sky and we're unable to attend games then we've no chance of seeing Wrexham play next season 😒
First thing would be not being relegated again. A top 10 finish will be fenomenal. Promotion a fairy tale story. Just make sure to temper the expectations amongst the fans. Mainting in league one and steadily build from there is key in long term succes and promotions.
Respect your respect for Sammie. He needs to be a prem player next season! Not a Wrexham fan but best of luck my friend!
Do you think the local lad Davies will still be around next year? I hope so but I did not see every match this year
With what I saw in the second season of Welcome to Wrexham, where the real profit is in The Championship, league 1 and 2 there is not as much income compared to the second division, but nothing compares to being in the 5th division. Next season I hope Wrexham gets promoted, it would be crazy.
Look I do not support Wrexham but you present this very well . i live in New Zealand I went to Wales once .. Is it still raining i?
Be interesting to see how wrexham gear up for this league. Your club is an anomaly in that it has higher attraction for sponsorship and players looking for visibility platform. Hoping you get straight up to championship to play Swansea and Cardiff.
Looking forward to Reading - just because it’s easy to travel to!
Such good video, m8
ManU fan here. Would love to see Wrexham win League One in future! They are doing well 😎
Liam, Would greatly appreciate you doing an article on the girl’s team. If I am not mistaken, they were promoted also?
A season or 2 in league 1 will actually do them good. They need to build a bunch of stuff to compete at premiership level, slowing down the promotion advance will help that. They need an academy system, training grounds, and talent scouting. If they go to fast they are going to stall and go backwards.
Congratulations to Wrexham AFC from Kansas!
Wrexham might be interested in taking on some more loans from our (Arsenal) academy outside of Okonkwo for example. Sagoe Jr. maybe? It may be a drop compared to Swansea, but you could potentially promise more playing time for him. Perhaps Khayon Edwards too (who is already on loan with a League One club, so it could simply be a continuation). Have them on loan, perhaps sign them permanently in the future?
Well done young sir
I think a mid-table to top-half finish should be the goal. Wrexham having back to back promotions is fantastic and incredible, but they need to "train" their players in League one to build it up enough to take on the promotion race and the wealth of the other teams. Aiming any higher already is asking for trouble with a squad that is inexperienced with these tiers. Totally agree though, the current squad is brilliant and can go far!
I'm so excited!! WFC to the moon!!❤❤
It' going to be a tough league. All three coming down from the Championship are well funded. Don't ignore Rotherham as they finished the season strongly
How does management keep up with a club growing this fast? We're watching sports history here. What Wrexhams doing just doesnt happen. Its fun but theyre getting up to some serious talent now. Nothing surprises me anymore though. Hoping for a top half finish is a realistic goal i think. I could see a bumpy start turn to a respectible finish.
Congrats! I get the feeling that Ryan Reynolds will not be sending a team out there next season to place in the top 12.
Torcedor do Wrexham aqui do Brasil...❤
Its going to be difficult to win, moving forward. yes, they can stay in league 1 with this squad, but promotion is at least 2-3 years away. this is where is gets really difficult to find talent that can play at this level. the higher you get, the rarer it is you find men with the ability to perform.
Im a wrexham fan now let’s go 🔥🔥
Thanks
It’s interesting the value of Championship teams that might be going down. Those supporters of those teams might have a different perspective on value. 😂
Great job, Liam
