Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is facing increased pressure to deliver success in the Championship after the club's co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, oversaw a lavish £33 million summer recruitment drive.
Despite guiding the team to three successive promotions, Parkinson's position is now under scrutiny as the Hollywood owners set their sights on reaching the Premier League by 2027.
The significant investment, which saw the club spend £33 million on 13 summer signings, has raised questions about whether the manager is the right person to guide the new-look team to the next level of success.
Chris Wathan, a journalist, suggested that Parkinson is 'probably under pressure' to justify the substantial financial outlay with on-field results.
The high expectations set by Reynolds and McElhenney, who are known for their ambitious goals, mean that poor performance is unlikely to be tolerated.
