Paul Mullin apologises for foul-mouthed Sky Sports interview as Wrexham promoted | Football | Sport

Paul Mullin apologised for his language during an X-rated interview following Wrexham’s promotion to the Championship. The Welsh side clinched promotion to the second tier of English football with a 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic on Saturday evening.

Wrexham, who were playing in League Two this time last year, have become the first side in English football history to win three consecutive promotions to reach the Championship. It’s a monumental rise for the Hollywood-backed club, who had spent 15 years outside of the Football League before promotion from the National League in 2023.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Mullin said: “It’s been a real team effort. I signed here four seasons ago now, when I did the owners told me the plan was to get to the Championship in five years. We’ve done it a year early, the team this year has been unbelievable, just look at these fans, these f*****s deserve it.”

He quickly apologised for his outburst before continuing with his appraisal. He added: “Sorry for the language, but they had 15 years out of the [Football] League, to now be in the Championship. it’s phenomenal.”

Commenting in the midst of the full-time celebrations, Wrexham skipper James McClean added: “I know it’s the old cliche, how do you put this into words? Back-to-back-to-back, it’s never been done before. So, being the first team to do that, going into the history books. To be the captain, having the honour of doing that, it’s incredible. Look at this, it speaks for itself.

“It’s one big club effort, you see that we’re a well-oiled machine. And a successful, well-oiled machine. It’s unbelievable, they’re on their knees. There were dark, dark times at this club, now they get to enjoy this.”

Attention will soon switch to next season for the Wrexham faithful, who can look forward to welcoming the likes of Southampton, West Brom and Leicester City to the Racecourse Ground. The Red Dragons last competed in the second tier back in 1982, with manager Phil Parkinson saying: “I really did [enjoy it]. When the big games come, it’s important to produce one of your best performances.

“Slowly, just want to savour it, everyone talks about the history, but it can never be taken away from this group of players… I went into [this season] thinking ‘let’s see’ because there’s a lot of players who had to adapt to level, but have all stepped up. The mentality in the group today was very strong.”
