Wrexham assistant Parkin: Transfer market prices left Championship bosses stunned

Wrexham assistant manager Steve Parkin revealed that high transfer prices left Championship managers stunned during a difficult summer window. Parkin noted that massive spending in the Premier League created a bounce-down effect into the second tier, inflating player valuations across the division.

Wrexham, managed by Phil Parkinson, operated under Squad Cost Rules and eventually completed seven permanent additions to their squad. The arrivals included Anthony Patterson, Danny Imray, Issa Kabore, Jacques Ekomie, Joe Worrall, Ben Whiteman, and Callum O'Hare.
