What's Happening?
Wrexham co-owner Rob Mac has expressed support for Sheffield Wednesday fans in their efforts to address the club's financial difficulties. Sheffield Wednesday has faced several financial challenges, including EFL-imposed embargoes due to financial breaches, such as failing to pay players and staff on time. In response, fans sought permission to display a banner urging the club's owner, Dejphon Chansiri, to sell the club. Initially denied due to 'political connotations,' Wrexham reversed the decision, allowing the banner at an upcoming game. Mac, formerly known as Rob McElhenney, has also encouraged fans to purchase last season's away kit, with profits going to the Wrexham Supporters Trust, highlighting the club's understanding of the impact of poor ownership.
