Had a quick look, the rules Leagues One and Two pretty much just cover wages to turnover, doesn't include transfers if you can prove you can meet your commitments.

The Championship apparently has a rule of around £40m over three seasons, but both Wrexham and Birmingham seem to be able to point to the amount of commercial income they have.

Unsustainable unless they stay on an upwards trajectory. If they end up spending season after season stuck in the Championship the interest will wane and they'll be stuck with expensive players on big contracts.

Where's Birmingham commercial income coming from?

So basically Wrexham are putting no thought into this at all and if they do eventually come up will have to do it with the likes of Doyle, Dobson and Moore?

Dobson and Mclean are current first team players.

I don't think they're spending their money particularly wisely.

To think our side that went up last season was between £10-15m and they've already spent more than that just seems ridiculous for a club of their size.

Also why are they on tv all the time all of a sudden? Who's bothered about watching Wrexham, documentary aside.

It's more who they're spending it on. The best part of £20m on Broadhead and Doyle? Dearie, dearie me.

I just can't see many global fans going out of their way to watch Wrexham, regardless of their documentary.

Sports networks favour certain teams for a reason, eyeballs. They'll have metrics for who's gaining the most numbers.

Perhaps, but I still can't believe people are arsed about watching a Wrexham side with Dobson and Mclean in it outside of Wrexham and whoever their opposition is.

He was just a kid when he was here and was mostly OK. More than good enough for the league we were in at that age.

Not defensively, he was bang average at the start at the absolute most. Good on the ball technically, which led to many siggesting he'd have a top career etc. He was always pretty poor and half arsed defensively.

As the season wore on he got progressively worse - thankfully Neil spotted that and as soon as Batth and Wright were fit he was out. Had he not been we'd have never made the play offs.

Flanagan was the better of the two for most of the time they were initially paired together but as you say it always felt like Doyle looking comfortable on the ball seemed to alter people's views. Getting them both out - Doyle particularly - ended up being a big part in us going up.
