The wheels are already in motion for this audacious swoop…
Earlier this week, Gareth Bale sent his congratulation to McElhenney following Wrexham’s promotion. Never one to miss an opportunity, the Robins’ owner then vowed to convince the four-time Champions League winner to come out of retirement for one final “magical season”.
To be honest, though, a miracle will be required to tempt Bale away from the golf course for the bright lights of Gillingham away on a bitterly-cold Tuesday night. However, the Wales legend did not completely rule the idea out when he responded to McElhenney.
Soon after, Reynolds joined the fray, bizarrely promising to shave a golf course into his co-owners’ back hair if Bale joined.
Hmm, maybe we don’t want to see this transfer happen after all.
