“We look at a lot of different clubs but Wrexham have just spoken to us,” he added.
The club was already perfect, it just needed a bit of awareness. We are not here to make decisions on the field. I see this place as a church. It has a special place in my heart and it is spreading all over the world.
“The plan is to get to the Premier League. If it’s theoretically possible, why not? That’s the goal. Realistically, the fact that we’re in this church, if I were Sheffield United, I’d take this game very seriously. .
Wrexham will play their next game on Saturday when they take on Altrincham, but as Blake’s due date approaches, it is unknown if Ryan will attend.
