No experience of what it takes to get out of the National League (unlike Hurst  ) so should be an interesting watch.

"Parkinson’s time at the Racecourse Ground is likely to be featured heavily in part of a fly-on-the-wall documentary, in which cameras will follow McElhenney and Reynolds’ running of the club."


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

It might go very well for Wrexham but I think it has all the hallmarks of an utter disaster. Two guys with absolutely no idea about Non League football (or football in general really) running a football club with the guidance of Shaun Harvey and his merry men of idiots.

Parkinson is a manager on his way down with absolutely no idea of the league, now where have we seen this episode before?

It's reminiscent of Brian Little at Gainsborough.

If you are a regular listener to Undr the Cosh podcast you will know that no one seems to have a good word to say about Phil Parkinson.

Rowan Vine & Steven Davies were particularly scathing about him and what sort of man he is.

Could be a very good appointment for us.

Other than PR I’d be really surprised if they got their hands dirty day to day.

In terms of managers I’m more then happy with Hurst going into this season. He knows the value of creating the right environment with players who have the right character which is a good starting position. He’s also savvy enough to know that getting out of the NL will be a building job, anything else will be a big bonus.

Oh and the new assistant manager is Steve Parkin who is in the top 3 of the Undr the Cosh 💩 list with Phil Brown & Malky Mackay.

On the surface I thought it was a good appointment. But maybe I'm still viewing Parkinson through what he achieved at Colchester and Bradford, and not what he's done since.

The trajectory for him has been downhill... but it's been the same for Hurst! One minute he's in the Championship managing Ipswich, then it's straight into non-League via Scunny!
