Wrexham's Phil Parkinson on Premier League Aspirations, Championship Pressures & His Legacy

! youtube.com/channel/UCwWgXewMHxlPkP5FkxoZvKQ

Rog sits down with Wrexham AFC manager Phil Parkinson for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about the club’s incredible journey and what comes next. From the emotional highs of promotion to the realities of life in the Championship, Parkinson reflects on the people, moments, and decisions that have shaped Wrexham’s modern era.

They dive into the evolution of the squad, how team culture is built, what it meant to say farewell to Wrexham legends, and how the club's Hollywood-fueled rise has changed both expectations and the city itself. Parkinson also opens up about pressure, surprises, his long-term dreams for the club, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

This Week in Wrexham from the Men in Blazers media network is presented by our great friends of the pod STōK Cold Brew Coffee.
