Wrexham’s £33 million summer shopping spree, backed by Hollywood icons, might be headline-worthy, but former Premier League star Aaron Cresswell believes it won’t guarantee an easy ride to Championship glory. After 11 years at West Ham, Cresswell chose Stoke City over a summer Wrexham move, and he’s cautioning that the Championship isn’t just about big spending.
Cresswell, now with Stoke, who currently sit 5th in the league, commented on Wrexham’s investment, “It’s a tough league. Money doesn’t automatically buy wins.” While Stoke anticipates their largest home turnout, Wrexham, sitting 18th, hope to continue their improved form on Saturday.
Despite a rocky season start, Wrexham remains unbeaten in five games leading up to this weekend’s face-off. Manager Phil Parkinson is optimistic, “Our performances are getting more consistent. We’ve been working hard, and it’s paying off. Each game we create opportunities, and our defence is finding its structure.”
As anticipation builds for the first clash between these two teams in a decade, all eyes will be on how these contrasting approaches play out on the field. With fans eagerly watching, Wrexham aims to prove that their investments, not just in players but their game, can make all the difference.
