Parkinson lauds Wrexham’s dignity over Spygate after 2-1 win against Saints | OneFootball

Phil Parkinson praised Wrexham’s dignified response to the EFL expelling Saints from May’s Championship play-off final, after a 2-1 win at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday.

According to Daily Echo, owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac appeared in a pre-match Firefox video that poked fun at the Spygate saga.

The Red Dragons finished seventh last season, missing the play-offs on the final day, and some argued they should have been next in line once Saints were removed for spying.

Parkinson said they kept their counsel at the time and accepted the ruling, adding it was tough because they felt they could have had as strong a case as anyone to be in the play-offs.

He called the video light-hearted but accepted not everyone would enjoy it, particularly in Southampton.

Saints created chances yet slipped to a first league defeat since the opening weekend. Head coach Tonda Eckert is expected to face an FA hearing next week, with a final decision on his fate expected during the international break.
