People were making out that Robins only appeared good because of their coaching? Not really sure what I'm missing.

Plenty of opinions on here when he got sacked was that he was nothing without them.

It’s all I interpreted from their argument. But he’ll do well with decent coaches behind him. As he did here. And tbh he was on record many times crediting Viveash and Lawrence, which I don’t think was out of modesty.

I’ve been saying similar to my Wrexham supporting mate.
I’ve also been wondering about their scouting/coaching infrastructure. Their transfer policy seems a bit crazy.

Next up for them West Brom then Birmingham, so I think we'll see a bit of a shake out one way or the other.

When will they run out of cash? Are they within the FFP rules?

They won't run out any time soon, their revenues are expected to hit £50m this season.

Think thats nearly double ours

I'd love it if Stoke could come up with us. I still have a lot of affection for MR after what he did for us.

Still very fond of MR, but despise Stoke. Filed in the same category as Birmingham and Wrexham for me.

To date the commercial acumen of DK has been sound where errors have been corrected . This is the point at which business knowledge in terms of raising revenue should pay dividends

The troubles will smash them in the face in 2/3 years when they have bang average over the hill championship players on huge wages and no resale value.

Shame Leeds already signed Longstaff or Wrexham could have gone for the dream big man little man partnership of Smallbone and Longstaff in the middle

“Why the fuck would he want to leave them to come here”
“They’ve gone past us as a club”

It's wonderful turmoil on there. Arguments re the merits of Wilder from opposing viewpoints and dissension regrading the board.

I dunno. I reckon their troubles will only hit home if people stop watching their show and they haven’t got to the prem.

But if they get to the prem they’ll have to up their transfer policy game.

Again, doesn’t matter if Wrexham’s revenue is £1bn, if they spend £1.039bn they are going to get a deductions.

It’s all about profit and losses for PSR calculations and they have only made losses in L1 and 2 despite that revenue.

The money they are spending is going to take them close to the limit.

Gone are the days of a football manager running the club. Now you're only as good as the team behind you. Robins wasn't suddenly crap and Lampard wasn't so brilliant all by himself. He brought in a very good coaching crew with him.
