WREXHAM ‘HAMMERED’

Fri Sep 11, 2026 8:48 pm

Wrexham were totally outclassed by West Ham tonight, after all the money they've spent!

Surely, Parkinson's time will soon be up and they will be looking for a new manager?

Hopefully, they don't go for BBM, as I'm sure all it will take is for their Hollywood owners to say the words "we will back you" and they will easily prise him away, with Tan happily pocketing the compensation payoff.

West Ham will do this a lot this season. Gods knows what they will do with as if we played them at the moment. I can’t see Wrexham going for Murphy they want a big name proven manager and they would get one. But I can’t see Parkinson getting the boot soon.

With the money they've spent, a lack of progress this season will be deemed as abject failure. Parkinson will not survive the chop if they don't secure a play-off place at the very least. He is and always has been a lower league manager.

I agree. Parkinson has taken them as far as his capabilities allow now, he kept his job this long because of loyalty of the two owners as they been through a lot together and he dropped a long way at the start to get this going. It to me shows how great the owners of Wrexham are they back they guy maybe now a little to much. They are everything we want here. Could you imagine if they chose us where we would be now.

more the reason to try and push our owners to sod off how more many seasons of this circus not backing the manager is criminal especially entering the championship.

Monty, you, me or a couple of thousand fans are never going to push our owners out.
They have no interest in moving on unfortunately.
They’ll sell when they want and not before. This is so obvious.

Regarding Wrexham this is a blip and they’ll do fine this season - unfortunately again!

West Ham will turn over quite a few teams this year so hopefully we can sort out our defence before we play them :lol: :bluescarf:

They cant sack him without spinning a nice story to go with it. The whole commercial success of the project is dependant on the feel good factor they are selling to the American public. In the Disney world of Wrexham, sacking Parkinson is like shooting Bambis mum. So he has to go in some sentimental way that can packaged and filmed,. It wont be easy or maybe the script has already been written

It would be very easy, could be done to make him look like a hero. For doing the best for Wrexham.

Paul, this is the reality of the situation and as much as we all (or most) would like that to change, it’s not in our power to force that change, no matter what some might think they can affect

For me, it’s frustrating that the current ownership doesn’t engage with the support base, but if we’re being honest here, I can sometimes understand why, when there is so much vitriol and fabrication of the facts put out by so many

The drip-feeding of unsubstantiated information to some who hang on every word is so obvious to everyone other than those doing it! :roll:

Sven you made a great point. Both sides need to meet half way we need some sort of mediation for the best of both sides and more importantly Cardiff city.

To me, it’s obvious, but I don’t think mediation will work

I’m not supporting Tan, he’s an intransigent character, who has probably never met real resistance from inside

My point is the same as OriginalGrangeEndBlue’s, when he asserts that all the vitriol and threats to march will not move Tan one inch

The man is Trump-like in his character and we just have to look at the huge success (not) of the authority enforced FAB for indicators of how far ‘fan engagement’ had got us! :cry:

Nowadays, I just try to get behind BBM and his team as positively as I can. They deserve my time and effort; Tan (Choo and Dalman) don’t! :ayatollah:

Maybe we should tickle his belly to give us a better chance of what we want.

Agree on that. the story line would be that a statement from Parkinson himself that he had thought long and hard about the results and thought that he has taken the club as far as his experience would allow and that it now needed someone with a pedigree at this or a higher level. (rules out BBM). Club would make him an honourary President or something like that and pay him off handsomely.
