Phil Parkinson is reportedly seeing questions asked of his future at Wrexham, with talks being held behind the scenes. The Red Dragons, on the back of three successive promotions that saw the EFL history books rewritten, have endured a tough start to the 2025-26 Championship season - leading to their long-serving manager becoming the subject of sack rumours.
Hollywood star and Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has donated £10,000 to help a 13-year-old Red Dragons fan from North Wales fulfil her dream of visiting New York at Christmas. Lexi, who is battling a rare and aggressive form of heart cancer, has already endured multiple surgeries and chemotherapy but continues to fight with remarkable strength.
Phil Parkinson has been told when he could “lose his job” at Wrexham, with there already talk of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney preparing to wield the axe.

Steven Gerrard could become a future star of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, with Bryan Robson claiming that the opportunity to work with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney “would interest” the Liverpool legend. Gerrard has been out of management since severing ties with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in January, but is leaving himself open to enticing offers.
Paul Mullin has been told that a reunion with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham should not be written off, with there still a chance that he will be offered a shot at redemption.

Wrexham's non-executive director Shaun Harvey has rubbished reports suggesting that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are considering showing record-breaking head coach Phil Parkinson to the door at SToK Racecourse.

Wrexham roared back into Championship form as Josh Windass marked his comeback with a blistering brace in a 3-2 victory over a limp Norwich City.

Four home games, four defeats, the Canaries are spiraling.
Nathan Broadhead's super double propelled Wrexham into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at the expense of a toothless Reading. After a docile first-half, Phil Parkinson's men jumped to life after the break to score twice and progress in the competition where they might come up against an opponent from the Premier League.
Wrexham's record signing Nathan Broadhead has revealed the ambition shown by the club's Hollywood superstar owners was the determining factor behind his mega-money move from Ipswich this summer. Broadhead scored both goals in the 2-0 EFL victory over Reading and then hailed the influence of owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in his decision to join the ambitious Welsh outfit.
Steven Gerrard is considered to tick the “Disney” box for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, with Wrexham continuing to see moves for a “so-called bigger name” in the managerial department speculated on.

Phil Parkinson now has the Freedom of Wrexham County Borough after taking the Red Dragons from the National League to the EFL Championship under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The former Nottingham Forest man was lucky to still be on the pitch after the referee only showed him a yellow for a reckless tackle.
Phil Parkinson has heaped praise upon Issa Kabore after the Manchester City loanee impressed for the Red Dragons again as they continued their steady start to life in the Championship with a 1-1 draw with Derby County. The Wrexham boss was pleased with the way his new signings have settled into his squad and is beginning to see a level of consistency in their performances.
Working alongside Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham while remaining close to his Merseyside roots would be a serious "temptation" for Steven Gerrard, claims Pat Nevin.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been praised for making the "narrative" at Wrexham "like Hollywood", with three successive promotions being enjoyed, but they are being warned that sacking record-breaking manager Phil Parkinson would be "absolute madness".

Wrexham icon Steven Fletcher has announced his retirement from professional football after being released by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned side at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. The 38-year-old, who has played for several clubs across England, Scotland and France in his two-decade-long career, finally decided to bring the curtain down on his illustrious journey.
Wrexham extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to four games as Phil Parkinson's side came back from behind to hold Leicester City to a 1-1 draw in a Championship clash at King Power Stadium on Tuesday. Record Red Dragons signing Nathan Broadhead scored the equaliser in the 77th minute as the Welsh side snatched away a point from the Foxes.
Wrexham's Hollywood owners have been warned that their valuation of the club may be significantly lower than they estimate. A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac value the club at $472m (£350m) but it could in fact be far lower according to a football finance expert. Reynolds and Mac have invested heavily in a team that has scaled the football pyramid since their 2021 purchase.
Ex-Liverpool star Vladimir Smicer believes that Steven Gerrard should return to management as head coach of Wrexham or Birmingham.

Wrexham’s Hollywood-owned rise has been built not just on investment but on discipline — and a £500 fine is proof of that.

Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman has praised Wrexham’s steady improvement under Phil Parkinson as they adapt to life in the Championship — but warned Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac that the division can “chew you up and spit you out” if complacency sets in.

Matt Jansen has, in an exclusive chat with GOAL, explained why Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard would be a good fit for the manager’s job at Wrexham.

Former Republic of Ireland international Jeff Hendrick has revealed how Wrexham captain James Wrexham responded to an “are you getting too old” question, with the veteran winger being teased over his age after seeing game time limited in 2025-26.

Snoop Dogg is reportedly set to make his first appearance at a Swansea game when a derby date with Welsh rivals Wrexham is taken in. The Red Dragons are co-owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynold and Rob Mac, who have made a habit of inviting celebrity guests to EFL fixtures down the years. Rap icon Snoop is now poised to make his bow with the Swans, having become a minority stakeholder.
