Championship news

Wrexham will have to wait to register their first win at the Stok Rae Cas this season after Birmingham City winger Patrick Roberts' 46th minute strike cancelled out George Dobson's 13th minute opener. The two teams had to settle for a draw in a game where the visitors dominated possession, which means that the Red Dragons have failed to win each of their last three Championship games.

Ryan Reynolds, Rob Mac and Tom Brady should have plenty of cause for celebration in the coming years, claims Alan Shearer, with Wrexham and Birmingham City being told that they will "both be in the Premier League in the near future". Two ambitious projects that see A-list investors heavily involved have captured the imagination of a global audience and continue to generate plenty of drama.

Wrexham's Hollywood owners have been warned that their valuation of the club may be significantly lower than they estimate. A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac value the club at $472m (£350m) but it could in fact be far lower according to a football finance expert. Reynolds and Mac have invested heavily in a team that has scaled the football pyramid since their 2021 purchase.

Championship side and three-time FA Cup winners Sheffield Wednesday are facing a huge 15-point deduction after failing to clear players' salaries on time. The Owls have made a nightmare start to their 2025-26 campaign as they have won just one out of their first eight league games and are currently placed third from the bottom in the Championship.

Josh Windass revealed a gruesome injury to his social media followers after coming off early in Wrexham's Championship draw with Leicester City. The Foxes went ahead in the first half through Jordan James’ and held onto their lead until the 77th minute. However, nerves and wastefulness opened the door for Wrexham, with Nathan Broadhead grabbing a late equaliser at the King Power Stadium.

USMNT striker Damion Downs has yet to find his footing at Southampton, drawing criticism in the early weeks of his Championship debut.

Wrexham extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to four games as Phil Parkinson's side came back from behind to hold Leicester City to a 1-1 draw in a Championship clash at King Power Stadium on Tuesday. Record Red Dragons signing Nathan Broadhead scored the equaliser in the 77th minute as the Welsh side snatched away a point from the Foxes.

Wrexham icon Steven Fletcher has announced his retirement from professional football after being released by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned side at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. The 38-year-old, who has played for several clubs across England, Scotland and France in his two-decade-long career, finally decided to bring the curtain down on his illustrious journey.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been praised for making the "narrative" at Wrexham "like Hollywood", with three successive promotions being enjoyed, but they are being warned that sacking record-breaking manager Phil Parkinson would be "absolute madness". The odd question has been asked of the Red Dragons’ boss this season, with Steven Gerrard rumoured to be a possible contender to take over at SToK Racecourse.

Watford have raised eyebrows after releasing a post-match dressing-room video of manager Paulo Pezzolano delivering an emotional yet awkward speech to his players. Despite their 2-1 win over Hull City, the manager's intense tone and cryptic comments to a dejected-looking dressing room left many fans baffled and questioning the message behind the footage.

Working alongside Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham while remaining close to his Merseyside roots would be a serious "temptation" for Steven Gerrard, claims Pat Nevin. The Liverpool legend has been out of coaching since severing ties with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, but has left himself open to intriguing offers that could tempt him back into the dugout.

Phil Parkinson has heaped praise upon Issa Kabore after the Manchester City loanee impressed for the Red Dragons again as they continued their steady start to life in the Championship with a 1-1 draw with Derby County. The Wrexham boss was pleased with the way his new signings have settled into his squad and is beginning to see a level of consistency in their performances.

Wrexham's winless run at home to start life in the Championship continued after a brilliant Ben Brereton Diaz goal denied them all three points against Derby on Saturday. The Red Dragons had taken the lead in the 59th minute after Lewis O'Brien nodded home a delightful Issa Kabore cross. The former Nottingham Forest man was lucky to still be on the pitch after the referee only showed him a yellow for a reckless tackle.

Phil Parkinson now has the Freedom of Wrexham County Borough after taking the Red Dragons from the National League to the EFL Championship under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The manager admitted the honour made the club's achievements 'hit home', as Wrexham continue their remarkable rise in pursuit of one day playing Premier League football.

Manchester United are believed to be closing in on the signing of 16-year-old Derby County goalkeeper Charlie Hardy, even after bringing in Senne Lammens this summer. With Andre Onana out on loan and long-serving Tom Heaton nearing the end of his contract, the Red Devils are planning a major shake-up between the sticks as they look toward the future.

Wrexham have been told that they will reach the Premier League in "two or three years", with Tom Brady and Birmingham considered to be mimicking the model drawn up in North Wales by "OGs" Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Red Dragons have enjoyed a historic run of three successive promotions, and Ben Foster believes they will be playing top-flight football at some point in the near future.

West Ham have been told they should consider Frank Lampard as Graham Potter's replacement despite his poor relations with the club and its fans. The Hammers find themselves in crisis following a dismal start to the Premier League season. They have lost four of their opening five games, with last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace piling more pressure on the under-fire manager.
