League One & Two - 2024/25 season

[Leicesterpool]

I won't be at all surprised next season if both Birmingham and Wrexham will be both be in the top six next season in the championship, both got the squads and finances to put together another promotion push.

That could certainly happen. Birmingham walked League One and they’re a fairly big club.

 

As for Wrexham, people dismissing them as Hollywood tycoons buying promotions are selling them way short. Sure they spend more than they did before R&R came in, when they were basically on the brink of insolvency every year. But there are still spending caps at every level, and those guys - while rich - aren’t, like, Musk rich. More than the money it’s the allure of being part of a great story and being a TV star that draws players to drop down and join them. Foster did it to publicize his social media empire, though his personal history made it an even better story.

 

So no, Rob and Ryan are not going to be able to buy their way into the Prem next season. And I think there are just too many huge clubs in the way for them to seriously push for promotion immediately. But they will spend enough, and their football people are smart enough, that I don’t think they’ll be fighting relegation either. I think they’ll be mid-table.
