    I think that a lot of their plans are tied up with that first kop being built. But because they're running into a lot of red tape. It is stopping them from progressing in their plans for the team. Like I'm sure they were going to add a larger team store within the new Kop stand. Becuase of that, it says to me at least that there plans revolve around that first Kop being up.

    I suppose they could add one there, can't remember what was on the plans now. It is getting redesigned though so who knows? Lots of red tape but also I think our back to back promotions have probably made them realise we need extra capacity on top of the kop too.

    Hard to imagine that Williamson, Reynolds and McElhenney don't have a long range plan already, it would be nice if they shared it with Wrexham fans as soon as possible. One of the strongest things Wrexham FC has going for it is it's local fanbase in the community. As for the issue with the merch, perhaps that is something Williamson will be bringing someone in with him to focus on that.

    Wow, that was a great video, with many questions to be answered. I wish I could say conviction, but because I am so detached from the rest of you who are closer to the team, I can only follow along with what dribbles of information out of the mainstream media that I think is a little more relevant information from you, and others bring up here on YT. I have also pondered some of these questions. Reading what I can about Michael Williamson, I see he has a lot of experience and has done big things like stadium builds. However, he will need to bring in different people at some point. A season of team evaluation will tell him what he needs to change. The last thing the club wants is a Sunderland experience with new management, and I am sure management wants to avoid bludging them to get them to go in a different direction. You are correct; Wrexham will always keep the club going. One thing that I admire about Football in Wales or the UK, in general, is the city/supporter's commitment to the club, whereas in the US if the team stinks or the ownership is horrid, the fans protest and don't come to games. Then that comes with another set of questions, pre-Rob, and Ryan, about the attendance levels compared to now, which was 12 or 13k. Simon Jordon's comments about Wrexham and where it leads to going to the next level, where the financial foundational work is to get there and then maintain it, and as you said, it will take more financial commitment. Then we can say that the increase in attendance is driving the ability to pay contracts to attract new players, but the media deal with the show is like what is allowing Jeremy Clarkson to run his farm in the Cotswolds and lose money if that makes sense. We can see many things in the Premier League and the Championship League. For example, billionaire owners like Todd Boehly, owner of Chelsea, throw money at his team and do nothing. You have a club like Brighton that has played Moneyball and succeeded, whether the end of the season was a bit tough or even the Spurs. As you have said and others, it comes down to the infrastructure on the backside, the Management of a team, and the scouting, which is part of the infrastructure. I do think that at some point, the show is going to come to an end because it is the underdog story if they indeed force their way to the Premier League or Championship level, you have the correct answer; a YT channel can bridge that to the international fans, and indeed the ability to buy a kit in the US because as much as I want to buy one the shipping rates are just staggering. I apologize for the length, of this I am not know for short statements.

  • @WrexhamAFCfanzone
    @WrexhamAFCfanzone21 сағат бұрын

    I agree with all your observations. We need to have a real strong infrastructure in place to even just maintain where we are now. A new training ground will be key for home grown talent and I do think Michael Williamson will bring in people he has worked with before. Agree about Chelsea too, they are lacking something money cannot buy at the moment. Not even just a YT channel, Ryan has maximum effort that could potentially have it's own Wrexham show. I know he started showing Welsh drama's on there a while back. But we do need to sort out the merch in terms of expanding what is available and also making it easier to purchase both here and abroad. The last two seasons we have seen many items out of stock and the scandalous shipping has put a lot of people off buying too. Pre Rob and Ryan attendances were low, also our performances were at times poor. I had a season ticket but didn't really need one, you could just turn up, buy a ticket and sit more or less anywhere.

    @WrexhamAFCfanzone I agree; I think the tricky concern is performance. What happens if they struggle and slip back to League Two? Does the shine come off the chrome at that point, or do they get to the middle of the pack in League One and end up being there longer than they thought? So many variables might happen, and I hope they plan for the worst-case scenario to have a buffer if something happens. If this club makes it to the Championship level, can they do what they have been doing to get the talent without Rob and Ryan needing to sell more significant portions of ownership to compete? I am putting the cart before the horse. We still have to see what they do this season.

Hopefully they’ll increase the capacity soon and everyone can go to all of the games. In the meantime any games I can’t get tickets for I watch on tv.

    I've said this before...reminds me of a cross between an American town and an American city...a patchwork of different vibes, a unique feel to it not quite like most towns/cities I've seen. It feels like an artist would flourish here...not cramped, but not too expansive where it feels a bit long to travel to a place within yet calm and nature is more considered. Sort of like Portland, Oregon, USA. The public spaces have art pieces, painted walkways and wall murals instead of bare expanse of buildings or walls. Tucson, Arizona USA also is like that in many areas. I love those sort of spaces...where modern ease and nature meld.That is my tribe, my safe space. I did go with my High school choir to Montreal/Quebec for 10 days in my Sophomore year, long ago. That was when they had 'Non' and 'Oui' on banners on their balconies and such...I think there was talk of splitting or something...but it was so different than what my home country is like, yet oddly familiar, too. I know...weird. It was a great time, and we sang with some Canadian school choirs in a competition and sort of cultural exchange. It was a blast..and we brought the sun with us, too.

    The higher you go the more money you need to spend on talent. He is not going to be cheap but I think he is a key piece they need to get promoted again. He's a championship-level goalie in my opinion. So having that in League 1 is a huge advantage.

    This is all part of getting promoted; we all know it will take money for players and infrastructure to get to the next promotion and become competitive and stable, not that the club isn't stable now. He's young and had a great season, even with an injury. I like Luke McNicholas and Liam Hall, as we know they have a lot of potential. What can you say about Mark that hasn't already been said? He is a Stallworth, and I think at this stage of his career, he is a coach on the pitch to help these players get better. Could the club do a loan out for 1 or both to a lower club to get them playing time? My only concern is overspending and then having to overspend again for other transfers. I might have missed it, but I have yet to hear of any replacements for those for whom they let the contracts expire. So, does the club take a shot of not signing Arthur and running the course until the next transfer window with Luke or Liam, or going to the bank to keep Arthur and spend on other players, too? At the very least, it would make League One a very competitive season, but I agree he is a heck of a talent to miss out on. I suppose if I was doing it, I would do it; we know the end goal of the club is to be at the top of the League.

    At some point we are going to have to give Luke McNicholas a chance in the first team, otherwise what is the point in keeping him? Overspending is a huge concern but over spending now could mean less spending if we do go up. Arthur could be the difference, more clean sheets, more points.

    If we can not only sign him, but tie him down for a long contract like 3 years or 5, that would be the best thing for Wrexham, cause he's only going to get better, and we would be able to resale him later on. but I still have my doubts if we can even get him to stay if the rumers about his suiters are correct.

    He could do that with a premier league club here but to do that would have to be first team goal keeper. I honestly do think that Wrexham is his best option, at least for a couple of years. He gets to be number 1 goalkeeper, has worldwide exposure on the documentary and it is not impossible that Wrexham gain another promotion either this season or next.

    The Club will receive £1M+ from promotion to League 1 some of which will be used to strengthen the team and personally they should use whatever it takes to secure Arthur. At this time the club/team need stability at the back. Not only has Arthur developed further under Wrexham's excellent goalkeeping coaches as well as Mark Howard's adaption/involvement and changed role but also the team in general are used to his style of play which has been honed to their advantage too. Let's hope the strong bond that developed last season continues.

    He’s known for weeks that he was not being retained so not sure why it needs to take much longer for him to decide if he’s staying. Surely he knows if he wants to stay or not. The longer it goes, the more I think Arthur could be using Wrexham as leverage which is why if I’m Parky, I’d give him a deadline. And I’d make it soon so we can do what needs to be done for the best interests of the team.
