History for Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney & Wrexham? Phil Parkinson reacts to ‘unique’ challenges that he faces under Hollywood superstars

League One

Wrexham

Birmingham

<p>Football League promotion specialist Parkinson was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/phil-parkinson-amazing-wrexham-experience-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-european-dreams-premier-league-promotion/blteba00e12bc0d5d63" target="_blank">lured to SToK Racecourse by the ambitious Hollywood superstars</a> in 2021, shortly after their takeover of the club. A <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-bored-wrexham-owners-warned-deep-pockets-premier-league-dream-wales-legend-hollywood-new-stadium/blt2681ee110acf82b7" target="_blank">meteoric rise has lifted Wrexham</a> out of the National League and into League One.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>No side in the EFL has ever <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-rivals-jealous-red-dragons-green-eyed-monster/blt0747835915f571b5" target="_blank">enjoyed three successive promotions</a>, but the Red Dragons are aiming to rewrite the record books. Parkinson has said of chasing down a historic achievement: “We're going to give it everything. There's a desire amongst everybody at the club to give it everything to try and achieve that. It won't be a lack of professionalism, detail in our preparation or lack of effort on the pitch. We're going to give it everything, let's see where it takes us.”</p>

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

<p>Wrexham have already come a long way in a short space of time, and the intention is to keep <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-wrexham-plans-appeal-big-company/blt51bff5d5dd93c645" target="_blank">building towards the Premier League</a>. Parkinson added on chasing big dreams in North Wales: “The journey and the story has been incredible. To be part of this and just seeing the transformation of the club and the area as well, that's unique.</p><p>“Everything is still moving forward in the right direction. I've really enjoyed it. It was a big challenge when I came in because I'd never managed in the National League before. You've got to learn the levels, it takes time. But I've enjoyed it every single day I come into work.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Parkinson - who has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/f-bomb-fan-phil-parkinson-never-act-welcome-to-wrexham-documentary-amusing-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-sweary-rants/blte6a0179f2470002e" target="_blank">collected 120 wins from his 195 games as Wrexham manager</a> - is preparing to reach a notable personal landmark, with the Red Dragons’ home date with Peterborough on Saturday set to be his 1,000th as a coach.</p>
