    I don't think they need to add a lot to finish top this season.
    The Keeper Lainton got injured with about 10 games left which probably cost them.
    By bringing in Howard as GK and upgrading in a couple of areas (Tunnicliffe for French), they probably think they have enough.
    They are 6/4 to win the league, so the bookies think they are by far the most likely winner.

    So they must be unsustainable even after the two Wembley money spinners if they need funds pumping into the business. Why pump cash in if it’s not required. ?

    Last season with moneybags Stockport in the league you mean?
    If Parky is so poor, where will Wrexham finish next season?

    No idea, what I DO know is they can’t spend like that again when promoted. I hope you understand that?

    I don't understand. Wrexham will stop spending when they get promoted?

    Stockport definitely haven't stopped and I very much doubt Wrexham will.
    Both want to be in the Championship ASAP.

    If Parky is so poor, tell me where Wrexham will finish?

    Keeper got injured near the end of the season which cost them.
    It was always doubtful both Stockport & Wrexham would get promoted.
    Anything can happen in the play-offs. Grimsby's run was amazing, with the late winners.

    Well they have just signed a keeper from Liverpool on loan.

    So, will get by the rules by going for quality in the loan market.

    They’re always ways around spending.

    But that's not an issue as the Owners are happy to put the money in?
    Stockport want to be in the Championship ASAP.
    Wrexham owners happy to put the money in.

    The rule becomes irrelevant then?

    I had them as clear favourites to go up last season, Stockport sacked their manager early on because they realised he wasn't up to it. I'd suggest if Wrexham had done the same they too would have gone up.

    Personally I think Chesterfield are recruiting very well and with Paul Cook back they look the better outfit.

    certain managers operate better with a limited budget, so they use whatever resources they do have available accordingly. With bigger budgets an thus, higher expectations, they tend to struggle an end up blowing a lot of that money away. Parky is a good example of such a manager

    And what point is that making? What did they win after scoring 115 goals. Over to you

    Yes, they looked really poor towards the end. They even lost to Dover.

    Calling it a failure is a bit much, the totally they had would have won them the title comfortably in 4 of the previous 5 seasons from memory. It's just the two teams that spent ridiculously had a contest and one had better consistency.

    Like someone said, Wrexham dropped points to teams they shouldn't ever had like Dover etc. For every player of a Mullin or Palmer standard, they started French or Hossanah who looked poor on TV, their fans dont rate them too highly either. Looks like the aim this season is to have a proper squad, rather than 6 or 7 key men. In the article in the local paper after buying the stadium the other day, the journo said they have a few big deals in the works.

    Like Salford have found out, spending big in NL gets you up but when you have to live within the budget constraints imposed by the EFL, it's not that straight forward.
    That said, Stockport and Grimsby will be in the mix come the end of the season.

    What division are they in next season despite having a budget comparable to some league 1 clubs? I rest my case.

    Boring Parky, too easy to work out.
    Where will Wrexham finish this season then if they are boring and easy to work out?

    Put your neck on the line. If Parky's a dinosaur, where will Wrexham finish?
    It's got to be nearer the bottom than the top surely Rog? He's boring and he's easily worked out.

    What's this season got to do with last season? I couldn't care less about what Wrexham do this year, my whole point was that Parky failed despite being given the best budget in the division by some distance. If he succeeds this year good luck to him. But after watching a fair bit of them last season (they were on TV a lot) Parkinson, in my opinion, is not the right manager to take Wrexham forward. The football they played at times was no better than semi pro teams in the same division, I'd say Dave Challinir would have got them promoted last season. Facts don't lie, Grimsby are playing league 2 football next season Wrexham aren't.
