Owner Vincent Tan has gone through many managers, and there are deep divisions with the fans. Aaron Ramsey is the latest caretaker manager. Wrexham: Bought by Hollywood stars in 2021, Wrexham has transformed. They won the National League title in 2023 and were promoted from League Two the following season. Now, they have a chance for a third successive promotion.
