We pay tribute to Ryan Reynolds and Hollywood buddy for three promotions in a row, now “only” one division below the Premier League, but it is manager Phil Parkinson who has led the Wrexham squad to 136 wins in 221 games. A former Wrexham player, however, believes the successful manager can quickly be pushed out if there is no similar success in the Championship. Then a Manchester United legend is ready to do the rest of the job.
If things go wrong in the Championship, former Wrexham striker Matt Jansen believes there can be an attempt to bring in the former Manchester United player with 464 appearances and Solskjaer assistant, Michael Carrick, who was sacked at the beginning of June after two and a half years as Middlesbrough manager.

“I think he (Carrick) did very well in his first season when he took over. I think they were at the bottom of the table when he took over, and then they got to the playoffs. Then they’ve kind of stagnated, they haven’t really pressed, and I think that since Middlesbrough is such a big club, their level of expectation is maybe a little higher than anyone else. I think it was a bit harsh that he was sacked, but I think it’s just because of the size of the club and the expectations of Middlesbrough,” the former Wrexham player begins.

“I think Wrexham would be a good match and they can be ruthless. Football is relentless, and money is a big driving factor in that. He would certainly be a good match. He likes to play expansive football, and he knows that level. He knows the Championship, he’s been there for three seasons, so he’d probably be a good fit, and I think they (Reynolds and partner) would be ruthless with Parkinson’s (if he fails),” Jansen concluded.
Then we’ll see.
