When he isn't allowed a financial cheat code in this division let's see how he gets on. They've outspent nearly the entire league, it would be more impressive if they weren't having a good season.

He's done well pre Wrexham so nothing to suggest he wouldn't do well

But we been through this I know you only like tiki taka style football

Each to their own.

I don't, but I'm not interested in getting into a silly argument over Phil Parkinson yet again.

Pompey. Strange old game. Charlton must have played out of their skin against us.

I can’t think of a time he’s done well in the championship before anyway either

He had a few memorable cup runs with Bradford, getting to the LC final was impressive. But in this division previously he's done poorly.

Having the ability to spend as much as a parachute club and offer ridiculous wages to established performers is obviously a massive advantage. Is that even controversial to say?

Wrexham blatant offside player in their second goal (lino no excuse for missing) resulting in the Bristol sub Williams booting it in hos own net. So so lucky.

Same people saying Wrexham recruitment terrible and shit manager now saying what a good team they are

Considering the outlay, the recruitment is very weird for a club of their size. Older players on large wages. £7.5m on Broadhead, £6.5m on Sheaf etc. with no real sell on value.

For a club whose ambition and budget is premier league, signing a large chunk of players who are known quantities and very unlikely to be able to make the step up is strange. But they also still have Parkinson as gaffer so I really don’t think the lads running the operation are the brightest football minds.

I think Blackburn will be ok now they have Michael O’Neil in charge. It’s strange that Leicester got rid of their manager but had nobody lined up to come in, if Andy King stays in charge they are in big trouble.

Thought they were getting Gary Rowett? I think he's a decent manager.
