Marked for Max Cleworth

Squad7 Sep 2026

Samuel Chesworth breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market7 Sep 2026

Max Cleworth turns Nottingham Forest down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 4 signed and 14 gone

That is the business done at Wrexham until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Market7 Sep 2026

Wrexham say no — this time

The offer from Wigan Athletic for Dominic Hyam was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market7 Sep 2026

Liel Abada raises the bar for Wrexham

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Wrexham heard it as anything else.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Crystal Palace deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Ben Sheaf reports back to Wrexham with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Abdoulie Manneh will not be coming to Wrexham

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Mjällby is saying, and nobody at Wrexham is enjoying the guessing.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Callum Doyle 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Davis Keillor-Dunn slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Davis Keillor-Dunn is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market24 Aug 2026

Liel Abada is a Wrexham player

The fee is $11.4M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Charlotte Football Club drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Terms done: Thomas O'Connor is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Norwich City waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Wrexham is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Anthony Patterson stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Lewis O'Brien goes up and wins it — 7.78

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.78 for the rest of it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Wrexham say no — this time

The offer from West Ham United for Max Cleworth was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Wrexham baulk at the price for Millenic Alli

Luton Town wanted more than $320.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market24 Aug 2026

Jacques Ekomié wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Jacques Ekomié 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.

New England Revolution tell Wrexham: Leonardo Campana 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.
