A Football Manager 24 simulation run by OLBG has given an intriguing glimpse into one vision of the Welsh club’s much-anticipated future. The forecast sees Wrexham reach the Championship but not quite the dream land of the Premier League. The heartbreak of facing relegation back to the third tier in 2031 will be enough for Reynolds to call it quits as co-chairman. Entrusted with winning them promotion will be ex-Chelsea and Everton boss Lampard, who is in charge by 2035.
Wrexham fans will be happy to know that Paul Mullin is predicted to play for the club for another 200 games, although the player himself will be puzzled to see his goal return dry up dramatically with just another 30 goals coming between now and the Liverpudlian hanging his boots up
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Football fans from all over the world are divided on how the Wrexham story will unfold and whether or not they will advance to the Premier League. One method to bring a fresh perspective to the discussion is to determine what the future might hold by using the venerable Football Manager game.
DID YOU KNOW?
Football Manager is the new name for the iconic football management game that debuted in 1992 as Championship Manager. The game has become incredibly lifelike over time, and Reims manager Will Still has even said that the game helped launch his managerial career.
WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?
As diverting as a computer-based simulation of the club’s future may be, their progression will ultimately be decided by events on the pitch, continuing in the wind and rain of Gloucestershire on Saturday when the Red Dragons visit struggling Forest Green Rovers.
