New transfer record? Rob & Ryan tipped to break Wrexham bank

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are being backed to break the bank again at Wrexham, with a new transfer record expected to be set during the summer window of 2026. If the Red Dragons were to secure promotion into the Premier League, then that bar would definitely be raised. Don Goodman has told GOAL why history in North Wales is likely to be made regardless.

Brady & Birmingham warned they ‘missed a trick’ in promotion bid

Tom Brady and Birmingham have been warned that they “missed a trick” in failing to force their way into promotion contention this season, although more money is expected to be spent in chasing the Premier League dream.

Following a record-breaking run of three successive promotions, Don Goodman has explained to GOAL why the Welsh outfit should be happy with their efforts if a fourth falls agonisingly out of reach.
