Will Phil Parkinson Return To The Racecourse If The Fairytale Ends?
For Wrexham AFC fans, promotion has been at the forefront of everybody’s mind since they were relegated to The National League back in 2008. Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds takeover of the club in 2020 has elevated Wrexham’s promotion dreams into what is now being called “The Fairytale”. In 2021 Phil Parkinson was appointed manager of Wrexham which was seen as many as an unbelievable feat in itself. What followed was the signing of “Super” Paul Mullen and later Ollie Palmer in two major key acquisitions for the club.
