TOM COLLOMOSSE: Wrexham will soon be crossing swords with some of Europe's most famous names if football bosses approve a radical plan later this year. The League One club have become a global sensation thanks to the investment from Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and Welsh FA chiefs have developed a proposal that would see Wrexham, Swansea, Cardiff and Newport competing in the Welsh League Cup - giving them a far easier route to European competition.  Key FAW (Welsh FA) figures also believe the move would drive investment across Welsh football.

Wrexham has been named Britain's busiest buy-to-let hotspot for the second year in a row - with the huge demand attributed to Government legislation rather than Ryan Reynolds (left). The Hollywood star bought the Welsh City's football club with fellow actor Rob McElhenney (pictured with Reynolds) in November 2020 and the purchase has been seen as the cause for the area's hot rental market.According to research by Rightmove, letting agents in Wrexham received an average of 54 enquiries for every new rental property advertised this year. But estate agents in the area said increased demand was due to new regulations which were driving landlords out of the rental market, citing legislation in 2022 which 'favours tenants over landlords'. And property experts fear the trend will only continue as many landlords say they will stop renting amid fears of Keir Starmer 's rumoured rise in capital gains tax.
