THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A serious freshening up of the ranks may be required, while<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/best-team-world-rob-mcelhenney-dreams-big-premier-league-title-champions-league-ambition-wrexham/blt916464002681607d" target="_blank"> chasing the Premier League dream</a>, with the Championship a notoriously difficult division that<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-ryan-reynolds-plan-b-usmnt-legend-familiar-question-record-breaking-wrexham-hollywood-superstars-remarkable-rise/bltb7a3013c055730de" target="_blank"> even the most ambitious of outfits have struggled to conquer</a> down the years.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Former EFL star turned pundit Don Goodman has told <a href="https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/massive-overhaul-exclusive-don-goodman-sends-wrexham-afc-warning-ahead-of-championship/ " target="_blank"><em>Football League World</em></a>: "The first thing to do is to pay homage to Phil Parkinson and Wrexham. Because, honestly, hand on heart, I didn't think they'd be able to bridge the gap between League Two and be automatically promoted.</p><p>"I honestly thought a top-half finish would have been a roaring success. For them to finish second behind a very impressive Birmingham is an unbelievable achievement. However, I don't think it's going to be as straightforward [in the Championship]. I think that squad will need a massive overhaul if Wrexham are going to compete.</p><p>"Ipswich are the outlier, obviously, back-to-back promotions. But, when you look at the three teams who've come up from last season - Portsmouth, Oxford and Derby County - they've all had relegation issues and, of course, Derby still do.</p><p>"The season before, Plymouth, who have now gone and Sheffield Wednesday, who came up along with Ipswich, had a real relegation scrap. I do think it's a big gap, and it won't be easy to bridge. The question is, can he [Parkinson] make the step-up into the Championship with ease? I would say, it won't be easy."</p>

WHAT EFL PUNDIT SAID

<p>Reynolds and McElhenney have high hopes, as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/welcome-to-wrexham-season-4-release-date-revealed-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-documentary-league-one-promotion/bltd1b5ef66b387e0b0" target="_blank">deliver more drama for the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series</a>, and it promises to be an intriguing summer at SToK Racecourse as the Red Dragons ready themselves for another new challenge.</p>
