Wrexham A.F.C. manager Phil Parkinson has urged fans to be patient as the club prepares for its first full Championship campaign, finishing 7th last season with 71 points from 46 games (19W-14D-13L). Despite releasing six senior players and club legends Paul Mullin and Tom O’Connor, Parkinson insists the squad remains strong but needs careful evolution.

What changes are needed for Wrexham A.F.C.?

Parkinson acknowledges the Championship will be tougher, with teams like Wolves, Burnley, and West Ham dropping down. The manager stressed the need for strategic signings, saying: "We’ve got to hold our nerve to get the right players in who can make a difference." The club has 31 senior players but may need to sell to buy, given financial constraints.

Why patience is key for Wrexham A.F.C.

The manager highlighted the squad’s potential, noting they nearly achieved promotion last season. He said: "We’ve got a good group of players. We came close last year, but we know the division is going to be harder." Wrexham scored 69 goals and conceded 65 last season, finishing 24 points behind leaders Coventry.

What’s next for Wrexham A.F.C.?

With pre-season underway, Parkinson is focused on building a competitive squad. He added: "We’re working on ways to operate within the rules to give us the best squad going forward." The club’s recent form (DLWWL) shows promise, but Parkinson insists evolution, not revolution, is the key to success.
