Birmingham and Wrexham ready to spend in Push
Sky Sports News Senior Senior Reporter Rob Dorsett:
Birmingham City and Wrexham are expected to flex their financial muscles this summer and are probably among the largest expenses outside the Premier League once the transfer window opens.
Both clubs are prepared to make a push for the upper division and both have a spending power on the other hand with those championship clubs that already benefit from the Parats of the Premier League.

The city of Birmingham sealed his return to the championship after defeating Peterborough United 2-1 in League 1.
Sky Sports News Birmingham and Wrexham have been said to go to players similar to the tastes of Leicester, IPSwich and Southampton – and some of the smallest Premier League clubs this summer.
There are striking similarities between ambitions and strategies in St Andrew’s and the Hypodrome field. Birmingham and Wrexham have rich US owners. Both have a quick commercial basis that has been around for much of the competition they have been found so far.
Both produced great TV documentaries to show their mission and expand their overall appeal. And both have a business strategy, which is specifically planning for life in the Premier League. Sooner than later.
Crucially, because both have been promoted from League 1, where financial game rules are very different from the championship, both have a lot of freedom to invest in their teams this summer.

Birmingham players continued their celebrations after defeating Peterborough to get the promotion to the championship
In the first league, clubs were only allowed to spend 60 percent of their total turnover on players, although this is changing for next season, to further limit the amount that rich owners can pump.
In the championship, the rules say that no more than 39 million pounds can be lost for any three years. For Wrexham and Birmingham, this gives a lot of room to invest in the team because now a new three -year cycle begins.
Theoretically, both clubs could play family silver for the next two years, trying to reach the promised land of English football, knowing that they fail, they have a third season for costs and still remain within the PSR boundaries.
It made it clear that neither Birmingham nor Wrexham want to do it and “play” to get to the best division. Instead, both seek to extend their commercial income even more spectacularly, so they have even more money to spend on players. But his spending power is already powerful and impressive.
