October 29, 20213 yr Author Co-chairman Rob McElhenney says Wrexham's "big dream" would be to reach the Premier League. McElhenney and fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds are visiting the Welsh club for the first time since they were confirmed as owners in February 2021. Wrexham have been in English football's fifth tier since relegation from the Football League in 2008 and are currently 11th in the National League after a mixed start to the season. "No one has gone from our league all the way up to the Premier League but some clubs have gone from the National League to the Championship," McElhenney said. "So we're obviously going to try and go above that. "Maybe this is just my own naivety, but what I would say to Humphrey [Ker, club director and comedian] 'if the way that the system works couldn't we theoretically get to the Premier League?' "He sort of laughed and said, 'Well yes, but that would never happen.' And I don't understand why. Okay, good luck with that :unsure:
