""I don't know [if] I have the words to fully describe how integral Phil has been to the story and success of Wrexham. "Ryan and I talk all the time, and I just don't see a scenario where Phil Parkinson gets fired. It doesn't make any sense. "He has been the architect, the creator of this. From our perspective, he's got the job for life. Unless he finds another job he wants to go off and do, he's our coach. He's our manager.""
"He has been the architect, the creator of this. From our perspective, he's got the job for life. Unless he finds another job he wants to go off and do, he's our coach. He's our manager. He's our guy. I know that sounds silly and maybe irresponsible to say publicly, but the truth is that's how we feel. And we have always worn our hearts on our sleeves. Always been as honest as possible."
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney acquired Wrexham five years ago and have overseen a rise from non-league struggles to Championship play-off contention after three successive promotions under Phil Parkinson. Parkinson, appointed in 2021, is credited as the architect of the club's recent success and is described as central to long-term plans, with the owners pledging him a ‘‘job for life’’ unless he chooses to leave. Wrexham aim for top-flight promotion for the first time in their history while also pursuing infrastructure improvements to boost club sustainability. Reynolds has attended key matches, including an FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest and a recent defeat to Millwall.
