00:00What began as a Hollywood story is rapidly becoming a serious footballing project.
00:07Wrexham's first summer back in the Championship has been nothing short of explosive.
00:12Bold transfer moves, record-breaking signings and ambitions that no longer feel out of place at this level.
00:18They're not here to survive, they're here to climb.
00:21Since returning from their pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand,
00:25Wrexham have wasted no time reshaping Phil Parkinson's squad.
00:30In just over a week, they've shattered their transfer record twice.
00:34First for Empires, Liberato, Casseis and then Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest.
00:39Between them, George Thomason for a seven-figure fee and Josh Windass,
00:44who chose Wrexham over multiple Championship suitors.
00:48And in Ryan Hardy from Plymouth and Danny Ward, the Wales international keeper,
00:53released by Leicester and you have six statement signings.
00:57Remarkably, just 18 months ago, Wrexham hadn't broken their transfer record since 1978.
01:05A statistic that shows you just how far the club have come in this modern era.
01:10They've even shown ambition beyond reason with an approach made for Christian Eriksen
01:14and talks reportedly held over Kiefer Moore.
01:17Moore Sheffield United striker have dodged questions over the future of him,
01:23but Wrexham are clearly circling.
01:25Still, the squad is bloated and Paul Mullen and others.
01:29Wrexham have 30 senior players, five over the Championship limit.
01:33With eight strikers and a logjam in midfield, a significant clear-out is inevitable.
01:38Whether Parkinson sticks with the trusted formation he used last season
01:43or moves to one tested down under, the balance is crucial.
01:47It feels like a repeat of the club's 2021 overhaul under their new owners.
01:53That rebuild took them to the EFL.
01:55This one could push them higher.
01:57For now, bridging the gap between League One and the Championship is the mission.
02:02But with this level of intent, talent and organisation,
02:06Wrexham's Premier League dream no longer looks far-fetched.
02:10It looks like a plan that's coming together.
