Parkinson has overseen immense success since being named as Wrexham<\/a> boss in the summer of 2021.<\/p>\n

He guided the club to three successive promotions between 2023 and 2025, although the pressure appears to be mounting on the 58-year-old following a slow start to the current campaign.<\/p>\n

The Red Dragons have lost three of their past four matches and face promotion-hopefuls Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final two matches prior to the November international window.<\/p>\n

On the back of Wrexham’s<\/a> poor showing in Sheffield, Parkinson stated he would not hide away from any criticism that comes his way over the coming days.<\/p>\n

“I’ll just deal with it (criticism) like I’ve always dealt with it, I’ll just concentrate on what I’ve got to do,” he said.<\/p>\n

“What can I do? Curl up in a ball and not come out of the house for three days?<\/p>\n

“I’ve built my career as a manager and a player on fighting and being resilient.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been dropped as a player, I’ve been sacked as a manager, I’ve lost games as a manager, I’ve had supporters chanting for me to be sacked.<\/p>\n

“I’ve got thick skin, but equally, if I was a supporter, I’d be very disappointed in the way the lads played in that first 45 minutes. <\/p>\n

“So if there is criticism, then we certainly can’t hide away from that, and I won’t.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parkinson has overseen immense success since being named as Wrexham boss in the summer of 2021.
