The stuff at Bradford was a great story with memorable cup runs of course. My point was he wouldn’t have got Wrexham three in a row without this money. The truth is he barely got out of the Conference even with it.

Them doing that also denied other clubs with their own rises up the pyramid…eg Stockport last season. You’re just not going to find me praising what they’ve done and that’s that tbh.

Stockport when they won the league with Paddy Madden banging them in had far more money to spend on players than King's Lynn, Weymouth and Dover who all got relegated. Were they denied winning the league because of this too?

What deflection tactic and how have I been proven wrong? Thanks for the double tag anyway.

Co’mon now… you were being sarcastic calling Parkinson the next Mourinho. Parkinson has had a pretty solid career at L1 level, which is basically the same as Robins before he rejoined us. I don’t realise he got Colchester up so just take the L, give PP where credit is due.

Parkinson deserves his flowers. He’s got himself int a good situation at Wrexham but he’s done a brilliant job for them.

I doubt that he’ll take Wrexham up but I’m sure neutrals felt that way about Robins.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

To be fair, what their previous owners did to that çlub was far worse for football, as we found out when a similar shower of wankers rode in to town.

Owners coming in to steady the ship and get rid of wankers, zero problem. Owners who come in and take the piss with finances, no thank you.

Same applies to Birmingham.

Always a give some credit it’s due, even if it’s a Villa-ite like Emery.

You know I never knew he was so widely travelledAs for Stockport County was that from spending their windfall on the Carl Baker deal Gynnesthetonic?

Stockport are a far better supported club than those you mention. They may well have gone from the 6th tier to the 2nd last season…

Don't think nobody's saying they love him, just a tincy bit maybe

There’s people literally saying Mourinho couldn’t do what he’s done.

Keep going…

Once again no one is asking you praise what Wrexham have done

I'm simply saying Parkinson isn't a bad manager. Do you agree?

 

[Shannerz]

What other manager was able to spend what he did in the lower leagues? Nobody, to my recollection.

Aye. It's an achievement, clearly, but the amount they've been able to outspend their rivals, it would have been significant failure not to get their promotions.

Some described him as being 'backed financially' up thread; that's a significant understatement. They've been bank-rolled. It's like turning up for go-karting in a McLaren.
