WHAT EFL PUNDIT SAID
Former EFL star turned pundit Don Goodman has told : “Well, £30m in the Championship is a huge amount of money for a single club to outlay on players.
“But ultimately we’ve seen it before, and it doesn't always work, so it is completely all about getting the right players: the right calibre, with the right mentality, that are there for the right reasons and not just finance, because obviously because the more you pay a player in terms of transfer outlay, the more you’re probably going to have to pay them in terms of remuneration.
“So it’s a balancing act for Wrexham, but certainly spending that much money will obviously – or should obviously – give them a better opportunity to succeed in the Championship.”
