Dangerous tactic from the point of view of the management.
Players past their best possibly keeping the new generation out of the team. Much more of it and I think they will get found out by the speed, thud and blunder at which League Two is played.

There was an article I saw this week claiming Mullin is on £4.5k a week there at the moment.

He only went there to be closer to home though according to the Wrexham documentary.....

Elliott Lee is on a figure that'd make your eyes water from what I've heard.

I can't see them going for it, but if they did then you've got a hero of 2016, who's only 33 and was playing prem in 2021, playing for them in league footy and donating his salary to charity, which is even more good publicity and feelings etc for the club and player.
HRK is a bright lad, and almost certainly knows he can't dine out on that Belgium goal forever for a career in punditry, so getting a bit more football under him at the most famous lower-league club in the world(tm) will be great for him.
On the Wrexham money side of things etc - they genuinely have a big enough catchment area 700k in North Wales) to be a championship club if they have the right investment etc (sound like anyone we know?), and Wrexham and north wales are the traditional heartland of Welsh football, the south always being rugby.
Would love to know how much they're getting from Disney for the doc and whether that's getting funnelled in to the club.

They are but it’s massively dependent on the local council putting money in, also some of the cash put in by the Hollywood stars is in form of loans with a 7% interest rate. Should ring alarm bells if you ask me.

I think they have very similar potentials, but also very similar problems to us. Big catchment area, loyal local support, but also not too far from big cities (in their case Liverpool and to a lesser extent Manchester for our London). I am aware that North Wales has always had a lot of commuters to Liverpool and Everton on Saturdays, just like Medway/Kent has to London. I also believe that, like us, they've spent just a handful of seasons in the second tier.
Well, next season (presuming they get the points they need which they should), they'll have rich American owners, like us, with money to spend by an experienced management team, like us, and should have a good backing home and away, which I am sure we will, if the positivity off of the field continues, the matchday experience improves and we do as well as we hope and expect on the pitch.
Bring it on!

The latest offering from Gillingham Legends is the legendary Alan Wilks. Thought it’d be right up your street G58

Next season Sir Tom Jones will lead pre match community singing, Hugh Edwards will be stadium announcer, at half time Rob Brydon will do ten minutes of stand up and post match Aled Jones will sing Nessum Dorma.

Loans don’t count towards the turnover calculation.
