Championship news

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard scripted history on Wednesday after guiding Coventry City to a record-breaking start to their Championship campaign. Under Lampard's tutelage this season, the Sky Blues have remained unbeaten in their first 11 matches, a feat that has been achieved for the first time in the club's history. Coventry now lead Middlesbrough by four points at the top of the table.

Per a new report from The Sun, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight could involve himself in Birmingham City's plans to build a sparkling new stadium in the middle of the city. The Championship club want to build a 62,000-seater ground, which could cost in excess of £3 billion ($4bn), under the stewardship of NFL legend Tom Brady.

John Terry has revealed his confusion at the fact he does not receive more job offers, while seemingly giving up on his ambition to manage Chelsea. The former England captain has not held a first-team coaching position since working as an assistant at Leicester City in 2023, as offers do not appear to have materialised.

Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have been urged to dispense with manager Phil Parkinson and appoint Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg as the Welsh club aim to finally reach the Premier League. The club have endured a difficult start to life in the second-tier after flying up the divisions from non-league, and the pressure is ramping up on the Wrexham head coach.

Coventry boss Frank Lampard slammed Portsmouth manager John Mousinho for his behaviour after overseeing a 2-1 victory at Fratton Park on Tuesday. The win continues Coventry's unbeaten start to the Championship campaign and, while Lampard was thrilled with the three points, he was not impressed with his counterpart after clashing with Mousinho on the touchline during the match.

Tom Brady is being backed to “repeat” his NFL success with Birmingham City as the seven-time Super Bowl winner is “really energetic” and a “purposeful person”. Brady is accustomed to getting what he wants and, as a minority stakeholder at St Andrew’s, one of his goals now is to see Premier League football return to the West Midlands as soon as possible.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are being tipped to spend again at Wrexham, with Tony Pulis making a January transfer prediction. He expects further reinforcements to be sought in the next window, but has warned the Red Dragons - who are taking aim at a place in the Premier League - not to “anticipate a top-six finish or immediate promotion” out of the Championship.

Ryan Longman failed to convert an easy chance as Wrexham suffered yet another Championship defeat at the hands of high-flying Stoke City. The loss comes as yet another setback for Ryan Reyndols and Rob Mac's side, who continue to remain in the bottom half of the league table. Sorba Thomas scored a stunning goal for the hosts in the 36th minute to seal a key win for his side.

Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have been warned that, despite their rapid rise up the leagues, there is a risk the club may be growing too fast. The Hollywood stars have seen the club go from the National League all the way into the Championship and have made no secret of the fact they would love to watch their team in the Premier League in the future. However, the duo have been warned the club must keep pace financially and there is one major factor holding the Welsh side back currently.

Manchester City wonderkid Sverre Nypan has opened up on his journey in England as he revealed a culture shock following a loan move to Championship side Middlesbrough.

Dele Alli's hopes of sealing a move to Wrexham on a free transfer have disappeared after the Championship side confirmed the final place in their squad for the 2025-26 season has gone to returning star Ollie Rathbone. The former Como midfielder had been linked with a move to Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's side after being released by the Serie A side but must now look elsewhere for a fresh challenge.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are ready to spend again at Wrexham, with it claimed that another striker offer is already being lined up. In a bid to reach the Premier League as quickly as possible, Hollywood co-owners in North Wales are said to have sought advice from those that have helped Manchester City to maximise value for money in the transfer market.
