WHAT PARKINSON SAID
Wrexham’s manager has told Stuff ahead of a pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand: “When Rob or Ryan speak about the club being a Premier League club, I think quite often people will say Wrexham are getting carried away with themselves but we’re not because it is achievable and it has been done before, just not in the speed we’re progressing.
“We’re not naive enough to think it’s just about buying players at the first team level, it’s about putting the structure in place behind the scenes to build a sustainable football club for the future, and a lot of that work is going on behind the scenes with the academy, the new stand being built and developments in all areas of the club.
“We’re putting all the structures in place to give us a good chance. It’s achievable and in football and in life you’ve got to aim high and that’s what we’re going to try and do.”
