    If I remember right, them and Hartlepool were the final two on the shortlist

    I think Bolton were in the running too but I'm less certain about that

    I would hope that PP would put them right. He knows you need more than money to secure promotion, and that it might take more than one season to build. If they stop listening to him or think he is making excuses then they are lost. He will leave and they are in the mire money or no money. I am not envious of Wrexham, or their ability to buy the players they want, or their global reach. I just think, if you want to build a promotion side, you need to get past the money. To get out of this league you need toughness in the players and the manager, a good level of skill and leadership both on and off the pitch. Then you need players who maybe don’t have high levels of skill, but will run through walls for the club and fans.

    He always has a dig at other clubs but seems scared or unwilling to have a dig at his own. Remember, him digging out Bolton and their manager when they were in league 2 but look at Bolton now.

    Forget other clubs, Bradford City need to concentrate on themselves and their shortcomings to improve. Get our own house in order. Failure needs to stop!

    I'm sure I read they'd looked at a fair few clubs, Hartlepool one if my useless memory serves. I can definitely see why they chose non league, the difference in costs as opposed to a club higher up.

    Wrexham are a one off. Can't really be replicated as Reynolds really is unique. My point on the whole thing is what would anyone see anything negative in what they are trying to achieve? Who wouldn't be envious of watching two owners come in and completely change the fortunes of their club while also been genuinely interested in the history of the club and the country it is based in? Anyone banging on about the possible repercussions of FFP, does anyone honestly think these guys and their off field team/legal representatives wouldn't know about all this? I hope they go up with Parky at the helm.

    Uncle Shaun is a Director there. He will be well versed in all that and guiding them on the rules given his EFL background. And probably where he went wrong at City and Leeds!

    Paul Mullin punctured his lung after a challenge from Man Utd keeper Nathan Bishop last night.

    You would imagine him being out for the first couple of months of the season.

    A blow for Hollywood Wales FC on the eve of the season

    I think it's only fair the entire League 2 season is put back till Mullin is fit.

    TBF the love in is somewhat deserved simply because the two of them have really embraced the community. Ryans even signed a deal with S4C to put several hours of Welsh Content on his channel in the US every week just to help promote the Welsh language.

    Mind you on the other hand Parky is a Twit who deserves to fail and lose his job. What he did to Bishop for what was a simple accident (was one of those 50/50 balls that one player gets to a fraction quicker and they collide) was so out of order

    I'm sure as the manager of a player who he was heavily reliant on this coming season you might see things clearer without those Red & White glasses, it was a friendly nothing more all about fitness and formations ETC so there was no need to go charging out like Bishop did, don't try to move the blame to Parkinson.
