He likely talks a great game of soccer! They don’t know any different!

 

Pretty sure he was his keeper at Bolton.

 

Thanks Roger, great input, explained far better than I could. You first hand experience is greatly welcomed.

 

Possibly but they fell off a cliff last season after Cook took over.
New season, New players, let's see how they go.

 

Boring, Boring Parky. Only 115 goals scored.

 

Really? He didn't get Sunderland up but many tried and failed at that one.

Is this struggling? -


And an FA Trophy final at Wembley.
Hardly a poor season.

 

I was told earlier Parky's football was boring and he was easily worked out.

Tell National League defences.
115 goals in a season is amazing. Liverpool/Man City struggle to reach that.

 

Wrexham finished 2nd. Did he fail on his objective of promotion? Yes. Did he fail 'big style'? Absolutely not.

 

Well he got Bolton and us promoted on limited budgets. Both clubs were in crisis mode prior to his tenure

Sunderland and Wrexham were one of, if not then, the biggest spendings in their respective leagues. An having one of the biggest budgets in the leagues means expectations are risen. You’re practically expected to get promoted, if not then win the league

I still believe Parky will get Wrexham promoted this season. All he needs to do is build on last season a bit an strengthen that defence

 

Not answering my question. What did they win?

 

My fault really. Apologies.

 

Sussing is different to stopping

 

Id agree with Jimmy, it was a failure in that they failed to go up but they made big progress and only just missed out.

they had a sticky spell mid-season but got their act together again and went on a run. Don’t think his job is under pressure yet

 

Just can't understand the negativity towards Parky after all he did for us.

 

If you say so. I don't remember that.
I think Parky used Tim Breaker to do some scouting but I believe he was a consultant rather than being employed by the club.
Parky was the scouting network with support from his team.
The infrastructure just wasn't there, like Sparks has put in place.

If your scouting network is the Management team and the Management team leave, the club shouldn't have been surprised when there wasn't a lot of info left.

 

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds come across as a little naive with regards football, no matter how much money they have saying they can't believe clubs can climb out of non league football right up to the Premier League, one of their first expenses was relaying a new pitch because the original one they laid was not up to scratch, they are going to have to be prepared sink loads of money into Wrexham to achieve their dream.

 

To be fair to the Wrexham public, they are getting 10k every week, and due to the Kop end being under redevelopment they can't really fit anymore people in the ground. The public are backing them as much as they can do.

 

The two owners are there for the long term. They'be been the best thing the club and the town could ever have hoped for, the publicity of the area and the team on the back of the TV series has gone through the roof. The series itself is an excellent watch, puts a perspective on the game that some are blind to, that players are human beings with feelings and emotions, not just a shirt running round a pitch for 90 minutes on a weekend.

 

McElhenney is famous for his TV series Its always sunny in Philadelphia and Reynolds for his Filmwork including the deadpool marvel character. They are pretty well known to be fair

 

Not sure Deadpool would be your kind of movie.
