I forgot to mention what an appalling tool Harvey comes across as in the show.

Which isn't really a surprise, given what we know of the man.

Watching it, disagree they finished  second it's hardly a cardinal error. Continue as they have and they will manage it sooner or later.




They spunked at least double (and probably triple) our budget to get knocked out by Town in the play-offs.

They made poor decisions and spent their money unintelligently. Whether they get promoted this season and go on to transcend us doesn’t change that.

This is just me speaking personally but Unfortunately it has come to a point personally where I don't give a excrement how they do and would prefer they intercourse it up again, I know quite a few Wrexham fans who were all decent before the 28th May, but since then they have turned particularly unbearable and are trying to start a rivalry between the two clubs, only yesterday one of them told me he can't wait until next season when they play us last game of the season and they win the league and they send us back down and us fishy fornicators go back to our inbred homes and Incest families crying.

I hint a lot of jealousy from the Wrexham fans I know and it's not a good luck.

I appreciate it's only a tiny minority but just for how they have been I will be quite happy to see them fail to get promoted again!

I disagree I think they recruited pretty well and coming in second does vindicate that recruitment in my eyes anyhow. Building a championship winning squad from a standing start is extremely difficult. There are no guarantees, and with Stockport also spending big I think its incredibly harsh to overly criticise Parkinson.

They didn’t recruit well…they brought in Parkinson, a dinosaur, an arrogant tool who clearly didn’t have the minerals.

His tactics and substitutions didn’t work in the one game that mattered…

I have to admit, I’ve found the programme quite hard to watch, I’m not sure why but it feels almost Partridge/The Office at times.

I don’t think deadpool and his mate are in it for the wrong reasons but I’m still not sure what they’re truly in it for. It all seems a bit weird still.

I’m really enjoying the program about time the lower leagues get some attention.

You need to mention that to Wrexham fans as many on their forum wanted him gone at the end of last season.

I thought it was a fantastic insight into the dressing room to see the 5 players sharing one house complaining about Mullins wages, goes to show how you can upset the dressing room with one decision.

Also, I loved how the discussion was 'if we're going to stick to the budget we set out, we can't sign Mullin'....clearly they torched the budget paperwork when he turns up a few days later lol.

From what I've seen so far, I reckon we'll get some decent camera time and exposure in the last episode or two- it's definitely the sort of score disney would have wanted for a finale (albeit the wrong way round for their story).

Best moment of the series for me "you can't give a team like that a third goal", said with a fear in his eyes of what the future might bring.....foreshadowing, I think they call it in hollywood

I think it's the style of play the Wrexham fans don't like. With the money they've spent they should be playing great football, not the route one battering ram method

And, to be fair, they do have some good footballers in the team. It's just that their manager wants them to limit what they do and instead play for percentages.

As we've seen in the past, if they chuck enough money at it, they'll go up eventually. It's just the issue whether they take an extra season or two to do so. Teams like Crawley and Fleetwood did it quickly. Luton took a while to get going.
