Championship news

Wrexham reportedly made a late play for ex-Manchester United and Tottenham star Christian Eriksen after the summer transfer window had closed.

Wrexham's difficult start to life in the Championship continued, as they lost 3-1 at home to Queens Park Rangers. The Londoners took the spoils thanks to a Conor Coady own goal, a thunderous strike from recently recruited striker Richard Kone, and a smart breakway finish by Rumran Burrell. The Red Dragons third loss of the season came in front of co-owner Ryan Reynolds.

U.S. international Patrick Agyemang made his long-awaited Derby County debut and immediately made his mark, assisting the game-winner after coming on in the 69th minute against West Bromwich Albion. Manager John Eustace praised the forward’s impact and reflected on the challenges Agyemang has faced since joining the club.

Phil Parkinson is reportedly seeing questions asked of his future at Wrexham, with talks being held behind the scenes. The Red Dragons, on the back of three successive promotions that saw the EFL history books rewritten, have endured a tough start to the 2025-26 Championship season - leading to their long-serving manager becoming the subject of sack rumours.

Chris Wilder is all set for his third stint in charge of Sheffield United as the English manager is likely to take charge at Bramall Lane just three months after his most recent sacking. The Blades parted ways with Ruben Selles after they lost five back-to-back Championship matches at the start of the 2025-26 campaign and are currently rock bottom.

Hollywood star and Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has donated £10,000 to help a 13-year-old Red Dragons fan from North Wales fulfil her dream of visiting New York at Christmas. Lexi, who is battling a rare and aggressive form of heart cancer, has already endured multiple surgeries and chemotherapy but continues to fight with remarkable strength.

Manchester United have been told to take a leaf out of Sheffield United's book and re-hire one of their former managers. The Championship side sacked Chris Wilder in June before recalling him this week for a third stint and now the Red Devils are being urged to sack head coach Ruben Amorim and bring back an Old Trafford favourite as soon as possible.

Phil Parkinson has been told when he could “lose his job” at Wrexham, with there already talk of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney preparing to wield the axe. Speculation regarding a change in the dugout at SToK Racecourse has surfaced following a slow start to the 2025-26 campaign that sees the Red Dragons perched just outside the Championship relegation zone.

Steven Gerrard could become a future star of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, with Bryan Robson claiming that the opportunity to work with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney “would interest” the Liverpool legend. Gerrard has been out of management since severing ties with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in January, but is leaving himself open to enticing offers.

Paul Mullin has been told that a reunion with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham should not be written off, with there still a chance that he will be offered a shot at redemption. A cult hero from the Red Dragons’ historic run of three successive promotions is currently out on loan at Wigan Athletic, but he remains under contract in North Wales.

Wrexham's non-executive director Shaun Harvey has rubbished reports suggesting that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are considering showing record-breaking head coach Phil Parkinson to the door at SToK Racecourse. Questions have been asked of the Red Dragons' boss, but said speculation has been branded an "absolute disgrace" by a man on the inside.

Former Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher is reportedly set to reject interest from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian and announce his retirement from professional football. The 38-year-old has been a free agent after being released by the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club following their promotion to the Championship last season.

Wrexham roared back into Championship form as Josh Windass marked his comeback with a blistering brace in a 3-2 victory over a limp Norwich City. The win eased the heat on Phil Parkinson, whose rocky start to life in the second tier had sparked murmurs of discontent. Norwich, however, remain in meltdown. Four home games, four defeats, the Canaries are spiraling.

New videos have emerged which explained why Saturday's Championship fixture featuring Blackburn Rovers and Ipswich Town had to be abandoned just ten minutes before full-time at Ewood Park. Blackburn were leading 1-0 against ten-man Ipswich, who are part-owned by singer Ed Sheeran, when the referee stopped the game due to torrential rain and, after checking the pitch conditions, called it off.

Wrexham's record signing Nathan Broadhead has revealed the ambition shown by the club's Hollywood superstar owners was the determining factor behind his mega-money move from Ipswich this summer. Broadhead scored both goals in the 2-0 EFL victory over Reading and then hailed the influence of owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in his decision to join the ambitious Welsh outfit.

Steven Gerrard is considered to tick the “Disney” box for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, with Wrexham continuing to see moves for a “so-called bigger name” in the managerial department speculated on. If Phil Parkinson were to be moved on by the Red Dragons, then a Liverpool legend may be approached as he boasts the “American connection” that has taken on greater importance in North Wales.

The EFL has confirmed that Blackburn Rovers' abandoned Championship clash with Ipswich Town will be replayed in full, despite the Lancashire club's frustration at losing their late advantage. The match was called off in the 79th minute with Blackburn leading 1-0 against ten-man Ipswich, but a majority EFL Board vote has ruled the fixture must restart.
