Phil Parkinson: ‘You can’t help but be enthused by Wrexham story’

Parkinson has often been asked during his three years at the Stok Racecourse how he deals with the pressure and expectations of managing the club.

Wrexham, after all, now have a profile as high as some of the biggest clubs in the game thanks to the backing of Reynolds and McElhenney and the Disney+ documentary ‘Welcome to Wrexham.’

“The best way to cope with pressure is to build a good squad and win games of football – that’s the key,” Parkinson says with a smile.

“I remember many years ago when I was at Bradford and me and Steve [Parkin] took over a really poor team in Division Two.

“The first season was about scrambling to keep Bradford in the division.

“The two owners, Mark Lawn and Julian Rhodes, were Bradford fans and feeling immense pressure.

“I remember saying to Mark Lawn in the summer ‘Look, to alleviate this pressure we’ve all had, let’s work hard this summer to get a good team on the pitch because winning games of football is what it’s all about.’

“That’s what we did – we spent the summer working tirelessly to build the squad.
