In a recent chat with the Sportsman, Thomas had a lot to say about Wrexham’s new and famous leaders. The vintage soccer hero revealed that Reynolds was in touch with him. He said, “He’s checking me a couple of times. He wants to go out with me and have a meal with him. Whether he wants to try and take me back into the game, I’m not so sure. I’m getting on well now as you know”.
Thomas termed Reynolds’ efforts and achievements at the club as ‘quite extraordinary’. He continued, “They’ve got back into the football league. That is amazing but they’re not happy with that. They want to go further. They are looking at the Premier League. I mean, that is probably going to be a way-off situation for them to get in the next few years. But with them two people involved anything is possible”.
