Tension is running high at Wrexham AFC as Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have reportedly issued a final warning to manager Phil Parkinson ahead of the club’s crucial weekend clash against Middlesbrough. According to sources close to the club, the owners have made their stance crystal clear — if Wrexham fails to secure a win, Parkinson will be sacked.
After a series of disappointing performances and mounting pressure from fans, Reynolds and McElhenney appear to have reached the breaking point. Despite their loyalty to Parkinson, who played a pivotal role in Wrexham’s rise back into the Football League, the team’s recent slump has raised serious concerns about their promotion ambitions.
This ultimatum marks a potential turning point — or the end of an era — for the club’s management under Parkinson. The upcoming match against Middlesbrough now carries enormous stakes, not just for points but for the manager’s future.
Insiders suggest the owners still hold great respect for Parkinson’s contributions but believe a fresh approach might be necessary to reignite the team’s form. With Wrexham fans already divided over his tactics and results, Saturday’s game could decide everything.
A win could restore faith and keep Parkinson in charge — but a loss may bring his Wrexham journey to an abrupt and emotional end. All eyes will be on the Riverside Stadium as the Red Dragons fight for their manager’s survival.
