Wrexham’s boss, Phil Parkinson, is under the spotlight after the team’s rocky start in the Championship. Despite spending around £33 million on new talent, Wrexham sits 21st, teetering just above the relegation zone. As the “vultures circle,” whispers of change float through the air, yet club director Shaun Harvey is shutting down speculation as “nonsense,” standing firm behind Parkinson.
Even with names like Steven Gerrard being tossed into the ring as potential replacements, past Wrexham manager Dean Saunders backs Parkinson, noting the allure of the position given the club’s ambition and strong squad. He reminds that fortunes change swiftly in football, and a trio of wins could flip the narrative entirely.
Parkinson, who has guided Wrexham through three consecutive promotions, brushes off rumours, focusing on the task at hand. He’s no stranger to handling pressure and is gearing up his team for the upcoming clash against Norwich. Injured stars Josh Windass and George Thomason could possibly return, bolstering Wrexham’s artillery against a challenging opponent.
CEO Shaun Harvey has labelled the swirling rumours as a “disgrace,” pointing to media speculation as a frustrating force but stands by his manager resolutely. Harvey points out that Parkinson has brought unrivalled success to the club in recent years and deserves unwavering support despite a few early setbacks.
