It's been clear it's true that Welcome to Wrexham has many tasks at hand, one of which is the further enlightenment of American fans with football. That's why it's not a surprise to witness hooliganism with EA FC 26 Coins, one the most intriguing and controversial aspects, take the limelight. But, "Hooligans" does a excellent job of presenting the phenomenon from various angles and even from the perspective of the owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as a Green Street Hooligans type couple, and even being a victim of its inhumanity.
It's true that hooliganism isn't something that is commonplace within American games, however, the documentary Welcome to Wrexham is a great job in describing some of the most outrageous football rivalries, such as Celtic and Rangers with their religiously-motivated rivalry, as well as showing footage from other regions around the globe. The documentary also looks to the Heysel catastrophe which saw English clubs barred out of European competition for five years. This, in turn, hurt the country's potential to compete however, it also helped steer England toward making football the kind of event that families can enjoy nowadays.
This is due to hooliganism being almost gone from the current English football in the least, at not as bad as it was thirty years ago. With Germany as well rather than those scandals of English hooligans are being replaced by those of Argentina, Turkey, Greece, Brazil, and Eastern Europe in the major part. However, even though it's true that the Premier League has gotten rid of hooligans, they remain a problem in lower leagues of competitions, such as Wrexham's.
Welcome to Wrexham illustrates the effectiveness of new strategies to fight violence in sport, such as prohibitions against supporters who are radical and the careful vetting by police which affects the young couple featured in the film that really reinforces the notion of changes. The episode also highlights the increased dangers to the reputation of Wrexham must face in its current Hollywood control and the desire of the club to expand its brand beyond Welsh borders, and thus comes in part as a historical lecture and as an advertisement within the commercial to that Reynolds and McElhenney the McElhenney and Reynolds era.
On the other hand "Sack The Gaffer" is exactly the type of Football Manager drama that makes Welcome to Wrexham an enjoyable watch in certain moments when Reynolds and McElhenney wrestle with the idea of giving Parkinson the way out. The scene is where Reynolds and McElhenney seek help to the Philadelphia Eagles coach and owner in the midst of a flood of angry tweets from fans hurled at Parkinson but ultimately, the common wisdom prevails.
The way both men described it, Parkinson inherited a team that was created by an entirely different coach, sort like having a bad hand on FIFA the Ultimate Team -- it's their responsibility to ensure that he's in the right environment to excel in, and only after that will they be able to judge the performance. It's a good thing that this has coincided with a great run of performances for the team of Parkinson that will propel the team all the way to third in the league, as this month's transfer period and the entire episode comes to an end.
The chapter also discusses a important plot element the author of Welcome to Wrexham has always stated: Reynolds and McElhenney are operating the club at a loss this moment, with each passing season costing them around $1.3m and of that, around $900k comes from the salaries paid to players who should be within their reach and to whom they have to pay an amount to buy FC 26 Coins that is higher than the new National League rich players. The reason for the reason why they keep Parkinson in charge is the fact the fact that he's a manager who is more affluent than Wrexham (the opposite of Ted Lasso), and that's the case for famous forward Paul Mullin.
