    I don’t know all the detail, but from an outsider it looks like they’ve just pumped money into the club similar to your Chelsea’s and Man City’s but at a lower level (more like Salford). 

    it’ll be great for the area and the community,  but Im not sure it’s something I can get behind. Especially the people jumping behind them now because there’s a series and it’s fashionable.

    Shame Notts County couldn’t put that penalty away to keep the title race alive - all but gone now you feel.

    It’s probably how Salford should have done it! Although as someone said they do seem to care a lot more. Salford got the bbc doc out of it, but TikTok sponsorship alone for Wrexham is several million - 2 Year deal with a promotion bonus. Disney+ episodes making £500k per episode for Disney so that’ll renew. The Hollywood aspect to it makes it truly a global ‘brand’ that’ll only grow as they work their way up, it goes against football purists but it’s always been a business for the big boys too. Even getting Ben Foster on board was good for both parties / Ben’s ‘brand’ before a ball was kicked. It’s not quite what I used to try and do on championship manager (that’s more the Newcastle approach!) but it’ll be an interesting watch to see who, how (they may need investment) & what they add staff & player wise.

    Ha!   I think Ryan and his mate, as u call them....have a bit more talent and accomplishments........than sad old "burn out" Clarkson........IMO

    Talking about the theory / concept & what sort of money is floating about, not the specific talent, Clarkson is just an example of the model

    Really enjoyed that game. 
    Has the Netflix series paid for what Ryan Reynolds and his mate put into the club? 

    I think Disney paid them a decent wedge in the couple of millions & there’ll likely be more series with more $’s as they attempt to go through the leagues. They know what they are doing on that side & are a huge draw with Reynolds in particular. 
    It’s a bit like Clarkson’s farm which is heavily scripted but Clarkson got a wedge for making both series, and at the same time creates a tourist spot which self promotes itself, except you can’t script football results & hopefully League 2 will prove tougher, but it’s certainly going to be an interesting watch from afar.

  4. Newcastle prob one of a few teams you’d think a loan back would be possible. Would be an incredible deal if so -  use the Scott funds to acquire strong players yet still have him for another season?! No brainer but feels unlikely scenario.
