Wrexham FC’s Huge Wage Bill: Outspending Most League One Teams, Led by Ryan Reynolds – Daily Star

Wrexham recently achieved a significant victory over Forest Green Rovers, securing a remarkable 6-0 win. This triumph led to the club earning a promotion to the third tier of English football, a result that delighted co-chairman Ryan Reynolds. In a tweet, Reynolds expressed his joy, mentioning his disbelief at experiencing such emotional reactions to a football match in North Wales. He also extended congratulations to Wrexham and his fellow co-chairman.

Notably, Wrexham’s spending has been on the rise as they move up the leagues. Their wage bill saw a significant increase of over 70% this season, reaching £7 million, with midfielder George Evans becoming one of the highest earners in the division. Despite this, their spending remains below that of several teams. As they progress to League One and potentially the Championship, they will face even greater financial challenges.

The Championship is renowned as one of the most competitive leagues, with top clubs spending over £1 million per week — almost 10 times Wrexham’s current expenditure.
