Phil Parkinson has openly admitted that uncertainty surrounding his future at Wrexham is beginning to have an impact on the team, following a frustrating draw against Bristol City. Speaking after the match, the Wrexham boss revealed that ongoing contract negotiations with the club’s board have created an atmosphere of distraction at a crucial stage of the season.
Phil Parkinson acknowledged that while discussions are continuing, the lack of clarity has filtered into the dressing room. “I might stay or leave next season,” he admitted, stressing that such speculation can affect focus, confidence, and decision-making on the pitch. The manager, however, was careful not to shift blame, insisting that the players remain fully committed to the club’s ambitions.
Wrexham dropped points after being held by Bristol City, a result that could prove costly in the race for consistency in the EFL Championship. Parkinson admitted the performance lacked its usual sharpness, hinting that off-field issues may have played a part.
Despite the uncertainty, Parkinson emphasized his strong relationship with the board and the supporters, adding that his priority remains finishing the season strongly. For now, Wrexham fans will hope that a swift resolution to the contract talks can restore full focus and momentum as the campaign enters a decisive phase.
