After Wrexham beat Charlton 3-0 and achieved three consecutive promotions to the Championship, the club's co-owner Rob McElhenney praised the unsung heroes who worked silently behind the scenes, stressing that the credit should not be attributed only to himself and Ryan Reynolds.
McElhenney told Sky Sports: "There are so many people at the club who don't get the recognition they deserve - the people who work hard every day, whether it's security, fans, media teams, coaching staff, or turf maintenance staff. They may not be widely reported or praised, but it is they who support the daily operation of the club. We have a lot of love for them. In fact, Ryan and I have the easiest job in the world. Just turn up on the scene, watch this incredible team play, and enjoy every moment."
Since taking over the club, McElhenney and Reynolds have seen Wrexham achieve a miracle of promotion from the fifth tier of English football to the Championship, becoming the first team in history to be promoted to the top two tiers for three consecutive seasons. Under the leadership of head coach Phil Parkinson, the Red Dragons have accomplished this almost impossible feat step by step. Although the two owners have repeatedly attributed the credit to others, it is generally believed that it is their investment and vision that have made Wrexham what it is today.
With promotion to the Championship next season, McElhenney and Reynolds will have a busy summer to further strengthen the squad. Although the outside world is cautious about whether Wrexham can be promoted for four consecutive years and finally reach the Premier League, under the leadership of this boss, everything seems possible. Before that, Wrexham will end their brilliant season in League One with a away game against Lincoln City.
