As another American sports fan I was just having this same conversation with my buddy a couple weeks ago. My American football team is the Seahawks and since we became a good organization in 2000 we have had 3 head coaches, 2 if you don't count the Jim Mora transition year, which I do not. That's 25 seasons between 2 coaches. Imo firing the manager because he has a bad month is the sign of badly run clubs, look at Sunderland... I'm sticking by Super Phil until there's an absolute meltdown which certainly hasn't been the case this season. Yes we have the players to have a better record but it's not like we're in danger of relegation at all and we still have a very good shot of going up again! Up the Town!

To be fair, Boston fans in the 21st century can't really relate to the Wrexham mindset. The Wrexham mindset is actually VERY similar to Boston sports fans from the 20th century. I lived for half my life in that mindset and it is something no Boston sports fan under 35 can understand. Even when things are going good, you are just waiting for the wheels to inevitably fall off. For all of its titles in the 21st century, Boston of the 20th century was the town of Bill Buckner, Bucky Dent, Grady Little and Aaron Boone.

@@brianeleighton Grady Little and Aaron Boone was 2003, this century. And the next year the Sox did something no other MLB team did and vs the hated Yankees to boot! That was the first of 4 World Series THIS century, the most of any MLB team so far. Billy Buckner, RIP, was the unfortunate scapegoat of an epic collapse in ‘86 but should have been removed for defensive replacement like he had been numerous times that season. That and good chance Mookie still beats him to the bag with how slow ball was hit. He gets the blame but so much to go around there. ‘86 was also the year of arguably the greatest basketball team ever assembled, and another Celtics title! As far as rest of 20th century, Celtics won 16 championships; the bruins won 5 Stanley Cups and the Sox won 5 World Series titles so even though in my lifetime, I’m 56, only 2 bruins titles and 6 Celtics titles, plenty of success in Beantown. point is: even when team(s) do well, there are plenty of moaners about. As a new Wrexham fan, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. It’s been a fantastic 2 years. And the run has only begun.

@@jph418 You are missing the point. I agree with you on Buckner by the way. I also was watching both of those series. I was too young for Bucky Dent, but Aaron Boone was my generation's version. I also remember how hopeless I felt at the start of the 9th inning the next year. That year broke the curse that Boston had been under for close to 90 years. These poor Wrexham supporters endured about 20 years of a cursed existence. It skews your thinking to where you are expecting disaster instead of good things. This means whenever the team suffers a wobble people are thinking/saying, "Well, that is the start of it. It will all end in tears now." Those thoughts are what lead people to call for sacking the gaffer.

@@brianeleighton you’re right. I did miss your point. Still bugs me that fans get so negative so easily. Parky was hired for one job- get them out of the NL. Job done. But he’s still getting grief despite being the all time win % leader and lowest loss % too. That doesn’t matter when you lose 3 straight, which never happened with him here. Mental!! He’s on a rolling contract for a reason- club and he aren’t planning for a long term relationship. My problem is that the team is still doing fine. If you asked any long term Wrexham fan at the beginning of the season if they’d take 3rd place with 11 games to go, I’m guessing 99% would say yes! And the moaning I’m hearing mostly is from new fans like me, who have absolutely zero reason to be bitching. It’s been a fantastic couple of years with a real shot of back to back promotions. I think there is a different mindset with this particular sport. Average gaffer tenure isn’t even 2 years! That’s insane! Footy fans seem to go negative quicker than most other sport fans. For me, as a fan, sports has always been a nice distraction, regardless of how my teams are doing, from real life stuff.
