### “We Must Be Heard and Respected”
In the message, Parkinson made a direct appeal to the EFL Championship governing body, urging for **fair treatment, transparency, and recognition** of Wrexham’s achievements and infrastructure. “We have earned our place here,” he stated. “But we will not stand quietly while our efforts are met with skepticism or if barriers are placed in our path.

Sources close to the club indicate that Parkinson’s statement was sparked by **rumors of resistance within some Championship circles**, questioning Wrexham’s Hollywood-backed rise, financial model, and media attention.

### Ownership Shows Support
In response to the growing tension, both Reynolds and McElhenney quickly issued a joint statement expressing **full support for Parkinson** and his leadership. “Phil is the heart of this club’s transformation,” said Reynolds. “He’s not just a coach; he’s a visionary.

### What Happens Next?
