Wrexham urged to keep Phil Parkinson, citing Birmingham's Rooney failure

goal.com

Lee Trundle says Wrexham should keep Phil Parkinson for another full season, warning against replacing him with a high-profile manager, as happened with Wayne Rooney at Birmingham. Parkinson has led Wrexham from the National League to the Championship via three successive promotions, but missed the playoffs last season. Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have described him as having a "job for life." Trundle cautioned that big-name appointments are not always successful, citing Birmingham's implosion under Rooney in 2023. He praised Parkinson's experience and the club's togetherness.
