Phil Parkinson has commented after suggestions that his Wrexham future has been discussed by the club.
Wrexham are set to face Norwich City in a Championship fixture on Saturday afternoon, looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers last time out.
Before the QPR defeat, it was reported that talks over Phil Parkinson’s future had taken place.
It came with the Red Dragons having won just one league match this season.
Shaun Harvey has said that Wrexham are supporting Parkinson this week and now the manager himself has spoken out.

Phil Parkinson on talks with Wrexham
Wrexham could end the weekend in the Championship relegation zone if they lose their upcoming match.
Norwich are predicted to win at Carrow Road, which would mean the Welsh side have won just one in six this term.
However, speaking to the media pre-match on Thursday, Parkinson said that there were no talks after QPR.
He stated: “There were no discussions at all after the game. I wasn’t aware of that.
“We were just frustrated as a staff. I had a chat with the players, but it was only a brief one, and we picked up things on Monday morning.
“To be honest with you, I have had a lot more pressure situations than this.
The initial reports did actually suggest that talks took place prior to Saturday’s defeat anyway, but the manager seems to be unaware of anything like that happening.

Phil Parkinson on Wrexham criticism
Fans have been vocal about Parkinson during the opening stages of 2025/26.
However, he was quick to point out that his Wrexham team have gone through difficult periods previously.
He said: “I look at the three promotions we’ve had and people sometimes forget that in each of those seasons, there was tough periods.
“The season we got 111 points, we lost to Chesterfield early in the season and everyone had written us off.
“Good Friday, we lost to Halifax and the world had come to an end. The external noise was quite loud, we battened down the hatches and came through that.
“You look at the League Two season, the Newport defeat was followed by a bad defeat at Salford. The noise then, I imagine, was as loud as it’s ever been because those performances were poor.
“Everyone thinks the League One season was amazing, and it was, but we lost at home to Stevenage and we lost away to Shrewsbury and the criticism – and I don’t ever read it – I can imagine was very loud at that point.”
