Birmingham news

Dele Alli could be heading back to British football following his release by Como, with three teams said to have shown interest.

Bryan Robson has lifted the lid on Manchester United's transfer pitch to Jude Bellingham, with Sir Alex Ferguson and Eric Cantona making pleas to the exciting midfielder. Bellingham was a hot prospect on the books of Birmingham when the Red Devils made their play for his signature, with the Premier League giants eventually left disappointed as they lost out to Borussia Dortmund.

Ex-Liverpool star Vladimir Smicer believes that Steven Gerrard should return to management as head coach of Wrexham or Birmingham. Gerrard, who has managerial experience with Rangers and Aston Villa, has been out of work since leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq at the turn of the year. And Smicer has mapped out Gerrard's career plan that'll see him take over Liverpool one day.

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.

Former Republic of Ireland international Jeff Hendrick has revealed how Wrexham captain James Wrexham responded to an “are you getting too old” question, with the veteran winger being teased over his age after seeing game time limited in 2025-26. McClean still has an important role to play for the Red Dragons, but is no longer a guaranteed starter at Championship level.
