Wrexham's rise is not such a 'miracle' after all, insists Donovan

USA legend Landon Donovan has questioned Wrexham's rise through the English leagues, disputing the "miracle" tag applied to the north Wales club.

After three promotions in a row, the story of the Red Dragons has been spread across the footballing world, however criticism has come their way due to the amount of spending that took place while they were in the lower divisions.

From non-league to the Championship - where they will now battle with Welsh rivals Swansea - in three seasons, Wrexham Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been significantly praised for bringing the north Wales side back from the brink of collapse, taking the club to places not seen by fans for years.

However, Donovan doesn’t seem to agree with Wrexham's story being labelled a Hollywood miracle.

The former LA Galaxy man spoke to ex-Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, where he gave his honest opinion on Wrexham’s journey.

On the ‘Unfiltered Soccer’ podcast he said: "If you watch the show [Welcome to Wrexham], you think it’s some miracle, but it’s not a miracle.

"It's an amazing story, but they have also spent at the top of every one of the leagues they've been in."
