Wrexham & Parky

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

After Tshimanga got injured and was out for the season, they couldn't replicate his goals.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Think that’s harsh Roger.

The Conference was fiercely competitive last year. Halifax, Chesterfield, Notts County, Grimsby and Stockport are all decent teams and Solihull came with a wet sail. They are unlucky, really, that only one team goes up automatically and they had to scrap in the playoffs.

They got closer than when eighth the previous year, improving their points haul by 20 and also getting to a Cup Final IIRC.

Yes, they didn’t win the league but he had quite a bit of improvement to find when he came in.

They’ll be stronger for that season under PP and win it this year.

 

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.

 

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?

 

So the team with a budget that knocks everyone else with the possible exception of Stockport out of the ball park fails to secure promotion? I know our fans on here live to sugar coat stuff, it's the old comfort blanket scenario, but let's just keep it to cold hard facts. Parky failed miserably, they even got beat in the trophy final as well. I even went to watch them at Halifax where Fax were comfortably the better side on the night but luck wasnt on their side.
I have no axe to grind with Parkinson, he did well for us. But that gooey eyed love in won't cloudy judgement over his failure to spend the Hollywood millions wisely

 

Who cares? I don't support them

 

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.
