New Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson says he is "ready to embrace," featuring in a documentary series as "it's part of being a manager." The takeover of Wrexham by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney is to be the subject of a documentary series called Welcome to Wrexham. Wrexham chose Parkinson to replace Dean Keates, whose contract was not renewed after a process that saw over 60 applicants. The Welcome to Wrexham documentary will follow Wrexham's owners' "crash course in football club ownership", according to the National League club's website. Parkinson, who played over 500 Football League games for Bury and Reading, says he has been impressed by his famous co-chairman.
