Live broadcast on 30/0 Football finance expert Kieran Maguire was a guest on talkSPORT radio a few days ago, and he said that if Wrexham successfully rushed to the Championship this year, then their financial strength will not be lost to the old fritters who have been in the Championship for many years.
好萊塢影星里安-雷諾茲和羅布-麥克亨尼在2021年花費250萬美元收購了世界上第二古老的足球俱樂部雷克斯漢姆,當時這支威爾士球隊還在英格蘭第五級別聯賽征戰,第二個賽季,球隊倒在了升級附加賽,第三個賽季,他們拿到國家聯賽冠軍,時隔15年重回英乙,第四個賽季,雷克斯漢姆拿到英乙第二直升英甲,本賽季,球隊在英甲39輪后拿到77分,多賽一輪排第二,領先韋康比流浪者3分,有望實現三連跳衝上英冠。
After acquiring the club, Reynolds and McHenney used their Hollywood experience, connections and influence to launch a series of Wrexham documentaries, which brought the low-level league team that had little attention in the UK into the United States and became a veritable internet celebrity club. Wrexham's documentary series received rave reviews, slashed Emmys and other blockbuster film and television awards, and opened up a new market for the club, adding many fans and supporters, making them a rare example of "flowers within the walls". Coupled with the star owner's ability to "brush his face", the club has received sponsorships that many teams in the same class and even higher than them dare not imagine, and now, Wrexham's market value has reached $49000 million, up 0% from when Reynolds and McHenney bought it.
Kieran Maguire said: "Wrexham earned three times as much as other clubs in League Two, they also earned the most of any club in League One, and they earned even more in the Championship. ”
"As such, they are not inferior to the old fritters in the Championship such as Stoke City and Norwich. It's an incredible achievement when it comes to making money. ”
"Their ability to become an international brand is also a real driving force, and the only football jersey I saw was from Wrexham when I was teaching in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA last year, and that's an amazing achievement, and that's what their documentary brings."
Wrexham's long-term vision is to reach the Premier League and while the club could face their biggest challenge yet in the Championship, Kieran Maguire believes they have the ability to invest further in the team.
這位專家說道:“如果他們今年升上英冠,電視轉播收入將再增加800萬英鎊。這樣一來,除了那些在英冠聯賽中領取降落傘補償金的俱樂部之外,雷克斯漢姆與其他俱樂部的差距就相當接近了。”
“我認為,從PSR(利潤與可持續性規則)的角度來看,他們處於非常有利的位置。去年他們虧損了250萬英鎊,進入英冠聯賽后,他們三年內的可虧損額度將提高到3900萬英鎊。”
'Once promoted to the Championship, they can invest in the players, they can invest in improving the infrastructure, and I think they're going to be an exciting one to watch because all eyes will be on them.
'They're going to meet some really big teams in the Championship who have just been relegated from the Premier League, while Wrexham were playing in the Nations League two years ago.
"They have the aura of Hollywood stardom, which allows them to sign amazing sponsorship deals with some of the biggest names internationally and globally that would not have been possible a decade ago. Everyone has heard of Wrexham, and that's a credit to the documentary, and Reynolds and McHenney have also benefited greatly from it. ”
"They're smart, they're very good-looking, and they've made the club a globally known club with their brand on their back."
