Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has shared his thoughts on Wrexham counterpart Phil Parkinson ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup tie at Wrexham. Under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, alongside Phil Parkinson's management, Wrexham have rapidly climbed from non-league to Championship play-off contention. Wrexham's ascent has been documented in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary series, which has led the club to attract a global fanbase.
Liam Rosenior has seen episodes of Welcome to Wrexham and thinks it's a great story of club growth. 'Yeah, I've seen a few [episodes]. When you see a club grow, develop, improve and come up through the leagues, it's a great story.
Yeah, I've seen a few [episodes]. When you see a club grow, develop, improve and come up through the leagues, it's a great story. They've done a great job.
They've done a great job,' Rosenior said. ' Rosenior acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating, 'We know it's going to be a really, really difficult game. It's a club that's on the rise, and there's a good energy and a good vibe around.
It's hard to play against that. We take the game really seriously. ' The FA Cup fifth round tie between Wrexham and Chelsea kicks off at 5:45pm on Saturday.
I think Phil [Parkinson] has done an incredible job, the way he's managed the team and the position they're in in the league as well now.
