Is The Wrexham Gamble Paying Off?
Wrexham is a story that I have been following closely since Rob and Ryan took over. It’s been three years. They’ve secured two promotions and multiple Emmy awards! Time to dive into their business performance so far.

    One key thing is that not only would Wrexham be worth hundreds of millions if they were to make it to the Premier League ... they were bought for a 2 million investment and would TODAY be worth 10 million or more if sold, so the capital gains of the club are keeping pace with the amount "owed" to the co-owners. While they are going to make a push for the playoff spots at the very least, so spending on players will rise again, I expect the 5 million pound loss is going to go down -- not just from the growth in sponsorship income, but also from a move of their kit to a first tier sports merchandiser. For the last two seasons, Wrexham shirts were constantly sold out.

      I recorded this before the announcement of the investment in Homage. Another shrewd move which will allow them as you say, to benefit even more from their massive retail presence. Theyve also announced another US Pre-season tour where they'll face Chelsea again and likely Necaxa too. The kit manufacturer deal is a sound one.

    from my perspective, it is also to do with increasing competitions and expansion of the internet. when I was a kid in the 90s, Nike and Adidas were the big names for cool kids to wear. Puma was around but it was rare. back then it was a time when kids only knew fashion from TV athletes and peers. but now a days, people can learn about other brands through internet, youtube...etc, and wearing a Michael Jordan "air" does not have the same impact as it did in the 90s and early 2000s.

    Jordan could be one of the most overrated athlete ever. Not because he was bad.. But for everything after. He is marketed, thats why hes so big to this day. Nobody denies his ability to play ball, but he wasnt that great to be absorbing that kinds of money to this day. Again, marketing and exposure.

    Why are you not mention Nike's acquisition like Ja Morant and Wembanyama? Also, Neymar didn't leave Nike because he wanted, Nike was the one who broke the contract after his scandal with an employee of the brand, just like Kyrie Irving contract was cancelled by Nike because of his antissemitic and conspiracy theories statements. You are not adressing anything realistic here, it looks just click baiting.

    Major problem, TNT is too expensive for the offering. This is not football what I get with Sky sports is more variety of sports for less cost. This TV deal is going to potentially sit the game behind a paywall along with probably the six nations which means it will be like cricket built on the national not league teams. The opposite of the massively successful football model

    Rugby Union continues to try and battle against football for eyes and tickets during the spring/winter/autumn months, however if it moved everything from May to September it's would do more in a shorter space of time and protect player welfare. (Rugby League in the UK does it and it captures fans leaving places like Leeds and Manchester United)

      I guess the idea is that the bigger the sport gets the more each club receives. It may go some way to helping those clubs in a bad way. Not perfect but I see the logic. (It is worth noting that some of those clubs were partially to blame themselves too. That shouldn’t be ignored)
