Phil Parkinson has been warned that he is under pressure at Wrexham, despite guiding the club to three successive promotions. After a £33 million summer recruitment drive funded by co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, questions are being raised over whether the manager can guide the new-look team to success in the Championship.
Wrexham completed the double signing of Manchester City starlet Issa Kabore and Blackburn Rovers defender Dominic Hyam on deadline day. Kabore, who joined the Cityzens in 2020, has had six different loan spells across Europe in the last five years and will now be taking in a seventh with the Red Dragons. Hyam, a former Reading youth player, joins the Welsh side permanently after spending three seasons at Blackburn.
Wrexham are still searching for their first Championship win of the season as they succumbed to an immense fightback from troubled Sheffield Wednesday.
