They will bin Parkinson off. He’s a dinosaur and anyone but a Wrexham could see that he’d be useless in the football league again and in truth, regardless of town doing them in their backyard, his tactics and draconian style cost them promotion. That squad, with the right manager should’ve drunk that league and neither season they didn’t.

Evans would go there in a heartbeat, attention and money, although I’m not sure there’d be enough fanfare for them. Their next manager will likely be some ex pro with a reputation, someone like Lampard or Rooney. Better for the documentary than an eyeliner wearing cheating, criminal girl private.

Everything about them is circus and fanfare, that’s the sad thing because actually, they’re a decent club but it’s tiring and boring…


Aren’t 5-5 draws better material for docu-dramas then 1-0 wins . In Hollywood it’s called the entertainment industry.

I can definitely see them going for Evans actually.  

I've only watched the first five or six of the documentary (not got to the best bit yet!) but I don't seem to think the intent is about making a superstar out of of anyone.  Phil Parkinson is hardly box-office is he? Shaun Harvey rocking up as the next Marvel superhero?  

Evans would do brilliant there too.  Give him a bit of money (he's always smart in that he goes where he gets a decent budget) and more often than not he'll get you success.  

The global audience that they're marketing to probably aren't aware of the Ryan Giggs' of the world anyway.  That said, probably be Bob Bradley or Bruce Arena.

They’ll appoint someone like Warnock.

Ever the narcissist, he’d love the exposure that being Wrexham manager in this day and age would bring. Even at 75, he’d jump at the opportunity when he inevitably gets sacked by Huddersfield this season when they’re 18th and rubbish.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Sadly, I was at all these big home defeats from Bradford in the 1960, to recent ones.  Except for the Charlton game

I bet they go down the Welsh Legend  route Ryan Giggs or Chris Coleman


I'd pay money to watch the car crash of them putting Ryan Giggs in charge.

Coleman's already been in one Netflix football documentary series too, so has all the experience they need!

It will be interesting to see if their defense suddenly tightens up or not. Let's hope Foster was not the only issue for them because if they keep scoring like they are and suddenly stop shipping multiple goals they will be formidable opponents.

Quoted from RichMariner
Five teams have gone to Wrexham and scored five goals since the start of 2021/22 — Dover, Grimsby, Barnet, Mk Dons, Swindon.

I can only think of three occasions in our recent (poor) history when we've conceded 5 at BP:

Donny in 2017
Burnley in 2002
Charlton in 1999

Have I missed any out? And how far back do we need to go to find the next two occasions?


Anorak that I am...

No, I don't think you've missed any out. And unless I've missed something, the previous two occasions were
11/4/81 Grimsby 1-5 West Ham
13/3/71 Grimsby 1-5 Brentford

Quoted from Mappers
Ben Foster retired - his race was run .

A shame , because a 41 year old was going to be fodder for us in a few weeks .


Yeah gutted about foster retiring before we had the chance to play them, he was looking well dodgy, not even training full time apparently. The fact the owners put so much effort into signing him and made such a big deal of him made it very awkward for parkinson to drop him too, despite the performances.

Be just our luck for mullins come back game to be our match too, or is he definitely out for longer than that?
