Marked for Robert Morgan

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout28 May 2029

Ibrahim Fullah: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Wrexham have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad28 May 2029

Davis Keillor-Dunn in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wrexham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 May 2029

Robert Morgan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Robert Morgan and Wrexham agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout28 May 2029

The manager makes an example of Oliver Rathbone

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout28 May 2029

A promise honoured for Max Cleworth

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Wrexham told Max Cleworth something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout28 May 2029

Arthur Okonkwo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Wrexham, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market28 May 2029

Wrexham put Sam Smith up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Sam Smith may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market28 May 2029

The Arthur Okonkwo question follows Wrexham around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Arthur Okonkwo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market28 May 2029

Ben Whiteman back at Wrexham

The loan is over: 23 appearances and 0 goals away from home, and now the harder question of whether he is wanted here.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad21 May 2029

Josh Windass damages knee ligaments — 118 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 118 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market21 May 2029

Ryan Barnett has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wrexham they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout21 May 2029

No hiding place for Lewis O'Brien

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lewis O'Brien, and the manager let it.

Squad21 May 2029

Robert Morgan signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Robert Morgan and Wrexham agree another 4 years.

The dugout21 May 2029

Arthur Okonkwo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Wrexham, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Boardroom21 May 2029

Wrexham bank $79.0K from an old deal

The unglamorous genius of a well-written contract. Sam Smith is somebody else's player now, and $79.0K has arrived because the people who sold him thought further ahead than the transfer window.

Market21 May 2029

The clock does Ryan Longman’s negotiating for him

2 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Wrexham could ask drops and the wages Ryan Longman can ask rise.

Market21 May 2029

Liberato Cacace linked with a move away

The name of Liberato Cacace keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Wrexham say nothing, which says plenty.

Market21 May 2029

Wrexham put Ryan Barnett up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Ryan Barnett may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

29 May 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad29 May 2028

Issa Kaboré breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom29 May 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Wrexham

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market29 May 2028

A season away well spent by Paul Mullin

30 games, 11 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at Wrexham now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.

The dugout29 May 2028

Nathan Broadhead knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Nathan Broadhead trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market29 May 2028

The Davis Keillor-Dunn story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Davis Keillor-Dunn signs something — a contract at Wrexham or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout29 May 2028

When it matters, Daniel Phillips plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market29 May 2028

Danny Imray placed on the list

Wrexham have made Danny Imray available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market29 May 2028

Wolverhampton send scouts to watch Ibrahim Fullah

Two seats in the directors' box were spoken for, and the name in the notebook was Ibrahim Fullah. Nothing has been offered yet.

Squad29 May 2028

Questions about Robert Morgan on the training pitch

The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.

In brief

22 May 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad22 May 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Borja Valle

44 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wrexham lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad22 May 2028

A fracture rules Issa Kaboré out for 22 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wrexham will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market22 May 2028

Modou Faal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wrexham, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout22 May 2028

George Dobson frozen out at Wrexham

This is not rotation. George Dobson has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Wrexham is pretending otherwise.

The dugout22 May 2028

Nathan Broadhead knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Nathan Broadhead trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market22 May 2028

The Callum Doyle talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Wrexham know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

In brief
