Wrexham AFC has taken the soccer world by storm. The Welsh club has endured massive success, thanks to the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Hollywood duo arrived at the club with one ambition: to take the club to the Premier League. Although they did complete the first stage of the process, the road to the Premier League is still very long.

The story may differ; however, their big dream of making it to the big leagues isn’t new. Over the years, other soccer clubs have given their hearts and souls to reach England’s top division. Among those teams has been the Championship side Coventry City, who are very close to the Premier League. In fact, recently, Wrexham captain Ben Tozer was full of praise for the team’s journey.

Ben Tozer hails Coventry City’s promotional journey

Coventry City is close to achieving Ryan Reynolds’ biggest dream for Wrexham. The Championship side is very close to getting promoted to the Premier League. The Singers were in League Two in the 2017-18 season. However, now, in 2023, they are just one win away from clinching major success.

Their journey caught the eye of Wrexham captain Ben Tozer, who was full of praise for the Championship side. The defender went to Twitter and wrote, “What an advert for the EFL… League 2 to the Prem within 10 years.” It seems Tozer was proud to see their journey, something which he wishes for his own side. In fact, it must be something that the Red Dragons aim to imitate.

Either team that wins the final will join the already-promoted Burnley and Sheffield United. Indeed, Tozer will be wishing with his guts that it had been Wrexham. Either way, he’ll be hoping to emulate their journey, as he facsimiled Reynolds’ 10-year promise to make it into $9 billion worth Premier League.

Ryan Reynolds’ 10-year plan for Wrexham

Indeed, it’s good to hear about Coventry City’s successful journey. This must be the exact thing that Reynolds’ side is craving. He even expressed his goal of leading the club to the highest division within a decade. “In 10 years’ time, the plan has and always will be the Premier League,” he said. “If it’s theoretically possible to go from the fifth tier to the Premier League, why wouldn’t we try?”

The team responded positively to the disappointment of the previous season as they clinched the title to secure promotion. However, the road to the Premier League isn’t an easy one. They will need to reinforce their squad, which can compete at the top level. Fortunately, with Hollywood owners leading the way, acquiring skilled players should not pose a significant challenge.
