According to Welcome To Wrexham Season 2E01, Rob stated, “And if our goal from the very beginning was to–not just to win. Not just to help bring some hope and optimism to the town but to build a sustainable business. Something that we can continue long after we’re gone. For us to put them in a position where, if they don’t get promoted this year, that they are no longer sustainable in any real way is uh–is counter to what our original promises were.”

The merchandising sales, matchday income, and other commercial exchanges all amount to a high percentage of the club’s revenue. Thus, Ker described the issues they faced at the start of the season and explained, “The potential pitfalls, though, are huge. You know, our wage bill is gonna be the largest in the division. The money we’ve spent on transfers will be more than anyone else in the division. Um, and we need to get that promotion in order to, you know, offset that cost-effectively. So you know, the challenge here is, if it doesn’t go all to plan, we’re left holding a very expensive baby.”
