The end for Paul Mullin? Wrexham tipped to ditch club legend as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney told that only FOUR players are good enough for the Championship

<p>Former Wrexham midfielder Waynne Phillips believes the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-promoted-championship-ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-rob-mcelhenney-lead-celebrations-ollie-rathbone-sam-smith-stunners-secure-victory-charlton/blt824a05e52c11819c" target="_blank">newly-promoted League One side</a> need to make big transfer moves this summer and that only four of the current squad are good enough for the Championship - namely defenders Max Cleworth, Dan Scarr, Lewis Brunt, and goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo. He added that it is likely to be the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-teams-move-on-transfer-advice-110-goal-striker-pecking-order-wrexham/blt028e9de11cb41723" target="_blank">end of the road for Mullin</a> and fellow striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ollie-palmer-father-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-2m-double-winter-transfer-phil-parkinson-swallow-pride-bolton-draw/blta4d5a82308800ba4" target="_blank">Ollie Palmer</a> at the Red Dragons, and also wasn't sure if veterans James McClean, Steven Fletcher, and Jay Rodriguez would be good enough in the English second tier.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>"The team that played on Saturday (against Charlton Athletic), only three of them were in the Wrexham team at the end of last season," Phillips told this week's <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0l73822" target="_blank">Coridor Ansicrwydd podcast</a>. "They've strengthened every summer, and that's what I see them doing again. If you stand still you won't go anywhere. There's a good nucleus there, but they need another six to nine new players. And that's what I expect to happen."
</p><p>He added: "It will cost them to get rid of a few. I can't see Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer at the club next season. James McClean, Steven Fletcher, Jay Rodriguez and Matty James - can they do it in the Championship again? And will they offer enough to make Wrexham competitive? I've said for a long time that Max Cleworth is good enough for the Championship, so are Dan Scarr, Lewis Brunt and Arthur Okonkwo."</p>

WHAT PHILLIPS SAID

<p>Wrexham secured an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-red-dragons-league-one-promotion-hollywood-owners-one-step-premier-league/blt9ad5a36a4ee7a9ef" target="_blank">historic third-straight promotion</a> in as many years from the National League to the Championship this weekend, and while many have helped them get to where they are, most notably Mullin and Palmer, football is a cut-throat sport, and there is no room for sentimentality. They are a long way down the pecking order and that is only likely to get worse <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wrexham-eyes-kevin-de-bruyne-jamie-vardy-phil-parkinson-addresses-links-man-city-leicester-stars-secure-promotion-championship/blt869e29d920009571" target="_blank">when more signings are announced</a> ahead of next season. But their contributions for this club will not be forgotten.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Before the matter of transfer signings and exits comes to pass, Wrexham round off their season away to Lincoln City on Saturday.</p>
