It will be interesting to see what happens next season.

More financial controls now.

Not sure where they are up to with the ground expansion neither.

Sheff utd away, madine unavailable. We spent the entire match lumping it to le fondre because Parkinson didn’t know what to do.

When madine left in January we spent the next 5 months shelling it to Sami Ameobi because he was over 6 foot. Horrific tactics. Horrific manager. 
 

Plenty ex players have come out and exposed him for what he is and he’ll he found out soon enough when Wrexham aren’t the big spenders anymore and the bow wave effect dies down.

 

He hid behind the troubles at board level for months. And was a massive factor in some of the darkest days and ‘performances’ this club has even seen. He can do one

And Port Vale.  Two better fixtures/away trips than the relegated teams they'll replace.

Hoping Bradford come up too but they might have blown it today if Walsall win.

Yep good day out Bradford

People say it every time Wrexham have gone up and they've proven otherwise, but the Championship really is a completely different beast.

I love parky but we saw first hand that the championship was a level beyond him and it's only gotten harder since then. We got battered playing his style albeit with trouble brewing off the pitch.

Regardless, with Wrexham and Brum going and Plymouth and Cardiff coming down, I feel that only puts us in a stronger position next season.

Walsall an unbelievable fall from grace.  About a dozen points clear, now 13 games without a win, bottom of the form table last 10 games.

Hoping Notts County come up in play offs, that's a proper place to visit and should be a big away end.

We saw twice how average and one dimensional Wrexham are.  They couldn't even score against our defence.  I'd expect Cardiff to be much better than them.  Plymouth will be top 3 or 4 no trouble IMO, obviously Brum were an outlier this season but those 2 plus Hull, Derby, PNE, Stoke or Luton will be better than the 3 going up, cumulatively. 

Anyway maybe we can sign one of the 30 odd year old physical big one dimensional donkeys from Wrexham that won't have a prayer of playing in the championship.

Have they? I don't think I've ever seen that, most folk just have good things to say about him, and and he comes across as a good bloke 

So what has been exposed as?

A few examples on under the cosh. My favourite one was at Bradford it was suggested he had a secret door in his office he could bolt out of to avoid any confrontations.

He certainly pissed off Wilbraham. 

That's the only one I know of though.

Managers always piss someone off 

No doubt club owners like him better than players do

Nobody knows how the teams coming down will do.They may lose a lot of their better players and if Etete is the standard of players then we'll fucking piss it

Hmm, if they're not doing too well next season, I don't think the owners would hesitate at pulling the trigger.

Not sure any owners like a gaffer that much, with the exception of Sharon of course.

I mean let's be right, we had no business staying up that season after that Burton shambles and the first half on last day.

Only ALF saved the day. It was close to a full blown riot till he put him on.

If he struggles to keep them up or get them promoted again I'm sure they'll look elsewhere

But with all the promotions under his belt it can't be said he's not a good manager

And in terms of where they were when he came in, their ambitions, and where they want to be, right now, everyone at Wrexham loves him

And rightly so

I know it's been mentioned before, but just looking at the Championship table and what a last day in store. 5 teams battling for playoffs and 5 to avoid relegation.

My prediction - Blackburn for playoffs and Preston down. But bloody anything could happen.
