Because the EFL’s profit and sustainability rules are about trying to make sure clubs are not losing unsustainable amounts of money.<\/p>\n
Despite going on a summer spending spree, paying about \u00a330m for players and having one of the highest net spends around, Wrexham are well within the financial parameters because of the commercial revenue already being brought in thanks to deals with giants such as United Airlines and HP.<\/p>\n
In League Two, they were already bringing in more than 20 of the 24 Championship clubs.<\/p>\n
“Under the PSR rules, you’re allowed to lose \u00a339m over three years,” said Maguire. “Looking at their two most recent sets of accounts, Wrexham lost around about \u00a323m – but they’ve had substantial increases in broadcast revenue, from about \u00a31.2m in TV money in League Two to about \u00a312m this season.”<\/p>\n
That is before taking into account a significant jump in sponsorship and commercial income, with chief executive Michael Williamson estimating they are already on a par with some top-flight clubs.<\/p>\n
“We have a global brand, a Premier League brand in the Championship,” Williamson told Ben Foster’s Fozcast podcast in August 2025.<\/p>\n
“What we don’t have is the broadcast revenue of Premier League clubs or the parachute payments.<\/p>\n
“From a commercial standpoint, if you compared us to Championship clubs, I’m sure we’d be among the top and \u2013 on commercial revenues only \u2013 we would probably surpass a handful of Premier League clubs, around four or five I would guess.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
