Championship news

Wrexham, with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney calling the shots, have been told what they must change in order to avoid a relegation scrap.

Jamie Vardy has revealed that he received special advice from Chelsea's ex-Leicester boss Enzo Maresca before completing a sensational free transfer to Cremonese. After 13 unforgettable years at the King Power Stadium, the 38-year-old striker has swapped the East Midlands for northern Italy, penning a one-year deal with the Serie A outfit.

Dele Alli’s hopes of securing a lifeline move to Wrexham appear over, with manager Phil Parkinson hinting that his final squad spot will instead go to returning star Ollie Rathbone. The former Tottenham and England midfielder, recently released by Como, had been linked with the Hollywood-owned club but now looks set to continue his uncertain search for a new home.

Ryan Reynolds’s “class” behaviour after seeing Wrexham suffer an agonising defeat in front of David Beckham and Will Ferrell has been saluted.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's Premier League dream has been handed a major boost as the Championship reportedly consider expanding the play-offs to six teams. The English Football League is weighing up a bold revamp of its play-off system that could dramatically alter the promotion race and inject fresh hope into clubs with Premier League ambitions.

USMNT star Josh Sargent has been told by his manager at Norwich that, after fending off transfer talk, the Canaries do not know how to replace him.

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.
