From our football correspondent Crisis

Market31 Aug 2026

Harvey Vale hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Queens Park Rangers can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Samuel Soares keeps Queens Park Rangers in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Janoi Donacien gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Janoi Donacien has just signed for Queens Park Rangers, and for once the answer mattered.

John McAtee due for a Queens Park Rangers medical

Everything agreed with Bolton Wanderers, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Alejo Sarco turns down Queens Park Rangers

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Gijón keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Queens Park Rangers

Koki Saito was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tariq Lamptey falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Idrissa Guèye

Queens Park Rangers asked and Udinese said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match29 Aug 2026

Coventry City take the points off Queens Park Rangers

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Samuel Iling-Junior runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market24 Aug 2026

Milton Keynes Dons come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bolton Wanderers did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Bolton Wanderers

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Atsuki Ito was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bolton Wanderers

Josh Sheehan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Nottingham Forest tell Bolton Wanderers: Steven Benda is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Bolton Wanderers against Stockport County

1‑2 to Stockport County, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Xavier Simons gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Andy Cannon is a square peg at Bolton Wanderers

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Stephen Graham left the room before anybody could ask which.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Gaizka Larrazabal was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 37. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Rio Ngumoha, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 7.93

A mark of 7.93 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Bolton Wanderers go back to the board over Abdoullah Ba

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $4.5M — a club that wants Abdoullah Ba enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No thanks: Iliya Gruev rejects the move

Bolton Wanderers had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Leeds United, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bolton Wanderers

Atsuki Ito and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Freddie Woodman

Bolton Wanderers asked and Liverpool said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Bolton Wanderers

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match15 Aug 2026

Bolton Wanderers find a way past Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe Wanderers made Bolton Wanderers work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

One of their own: Julio Soler

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

In brief
