"It's a fantastic story for us all, particularly when you buy a football club and go into the unknown, to a certain degree ... Five years later you find yourself in the top six of the Championship. Taking over a National League team with owners who are new to the game, who could have predicted it would work out the way it has? I want to enjoy each game, taking Wrexham to these away stadiums where we're filling out the away ends, having these pinch yourself moments."
""It's not ideal to lose key players, but that's what you've got a squad for," he said. "We've had a decent run with injuries.""
Phil Parkinson welcomed co-owner Rob Mac's suggestion that the managerial position is secure and reflected on Wrexham's rapid rise under new ownership. The club progressed from the National League to the Championship and now sits in the top six five years after the takeover. Parkinson described enjoying matchdays, filling away ends and experiencing 'pinch yourself' moments while trying to appreciate the achievements. The immediate focus shifts to an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Ipswich. The squad faces fresh injury setbacks, with Matty James suffering a broken toe and Liberato Cacace a low-level hamstring strain, but squad depth is relied upon.
