The vibe I get from social media is most are loving the 'Wrexham story', and obviously the media are lapping it up, but am I the only one who thinks it epitomises all that's wrong with modern football?
For me, there's nothing incredible and no romance in rich and mega-famous owners coming in, splashing insane amounts of cash on players that wouldn't in a million years have played in that league without astronomical wages & bonuses. There's nothing special or unique about Wrexham - Rob & Ryan could've brought any National League club and done exactly the same.
Wrexham's wage bill last season was rumoured to be upwards of £3.5million, SO much more than other National League clubs - they never stood a chance - of course Wrexham were going to get promoted one way or another.
What's so amazing about it?
