Phil Parkinson appointed as Wrexham manager

Quoted from RichMariner

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!

I think that's where I am/was at.

I didn't realise Harvey was now involved at Wrexham too.

I was someone who, at the time, felt the purchase by Reynolds and McElhenney could only be a good thing for Wrexham.  But having not followed the story and then briefly caught up on it now, it feels like it's got car crash all over it.  
They've acknowledged they don't do football so to speak but have just brought in individual and individual to try and advise and looks a bit like too many cooks to my eye.

Either way, makes me feel very comfortable (dare I say smug?) about our current set-up.

Quoted from GollyGTFC

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.

Yeah, Undr the Cosh is where my first train of thought went. Seems to be highly unlikeable. Probably highlighted a lot because Parkin absolutely hates him.

The Steven Davies one is great. Nigel Clough isn't portrayed how I thought he would be at all!

Wrexham is an interesting one, their shirt sponsors are now TIKTOK which obviously is a global giant, no doubt that was secured by their high profile owners, who by all accounts genuinely want to help the club, and their fans are all taken by them, like I have a Wrexham supporting mate who genuinely believes in 8 years they will be in the premiership and in 10 years in champions league purely on the basis that they can outspend any other team.

But their owners don't know football so they are relying on others to run it and that could lead to it all come crashing down through no fault of their own, if something seems too good to be true then it generally is.

I had a decent drive last night so listened to both parts of the Steven Davies one. Up there as one of the best, Nigel Clough is a character. Interesting at the end that he said Barrow were trying to sign him for the run in this season despite him retiring a year ago!

But Parkinson doesn't come across well at all. Loved the story about him telling Davies on Monday mornings that he will be playing Saturday. Parkinson called Billy Clarke and James Hanson in on Friday so Davies walked in with them. Instead of telling him to leave he changed from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 and called a midfielder back to tell them they weren't playing!

He's a coward when it comes to releasing players too by all accounts.

Ha ha, that's the funniest thing I've read on here for ages!

Since somebody predicted Championship football within 5 years?

Someone actually thinks Wrexham will end up in the champions league, the mind boggles!

I couldn't stop laughing when he made that outlandish prediction!

No harm in dreaming.

Town to win the Champions League and Cleethorpes Town to win the FA Cup before 2050.

You heard it here first

That's because they're going to rename the Cymru Premier the CYMRU Champions League. ; which is where Wrexham will end up.
