If it was that easy, Chelsea would be good.

Rob McElhenney doesnt have a lot of money and Reynolds is rich but not sports team owner wealthy. Theyve built a good business and club and taken calculated risks. Promotion to the premier league will be substantially more difficult though.

They outspent their rivals for sure, especially in the lower leagues. But where they really seem to have hit a home run is their front office. They went out and got the right manager for the job. I had never heard of Phil Parkinson before but it really is a coaching job for the ages. And it's bittersweet how some of the guys that got them promoted originally, aren't good enough to play on a twice now thrice-promoted side.

That’s pretty much how you do it. Investors come in and pump money into the program. Are they supposed to use pixie dust?

How Wrexham paid their way to promotion, and why the Premier League requires more than that
Wrexham's promotion might look miraculous, but it's actually a combination of factors that other Premier League hopefuls shouldn't try to replicate.
