Yeah they'll need to spend to keep getting in to at least the play offs

The disney show, will it be as popular if it's them being mid table and outside the play offs

This is what i mean, Wrexham kind of always have to be doing something to provide a storyline and stay relevant. Midtable nothingness can't be spun out for too long.

Unlike Birmingham, I think these fuckers are here to stay and promotion is a matter of when rather than if. They'll join the list of absolute piss takers who'll get rimmed for 'showing ambition'.

I have said before that i 'get it' unlike the temu Wrexham embarrassment that they are trying in Birmingham. I still think it probably has a shelf life though.

Bottom line is wtf are 4 Welsh teams playing in English leagues?

Don't answer that.

They were formed before a Welsh league was formed so played in English leagues

Well fuck right off back to your own shit leagues I say.

I think it’s the other way around. If Birmingham do get that stadium built it gives them a solid platform. For Wrexham surely fan and sponsor interest will wane if they don’t get promoted in 2-3 years.

Happy to welcome them back instead of them having to kick a mouldy haggis around on Scottish pitches.

StrettoBoy · Jan 22, 2026

One or two sites are still crediting us with interest in Frank Onyeka, although the Blades and Valencia also reportedly want him. I doubt we can compete on wages with either of those two, although we are clearly the best option in the short term if the player wants to play in the Premier League.

The Blades will be no competition at all. Valencia would be an issue.

It's been suggested that the Blades want him to replace Hamer. Hamer's departure would give them the transfer fee and free up a good chunk of wages.

If we are to get him I think it would have to be as a loan with an option or obligation to buy on promotion.

Sure, but league position wise it's a no brainer for him if those are the two options. A La Liga club would have the edge over us for sure though.

Given Doug kings language I would be gobsmacked if we didn’t bring at least one and depending on Bidwell Allen Andrews Brau moving on it could be more than one

Of he wants his career to go backwards then Sheffield Utd is the perfect move

Had Reynolds & co turned up when we were in League 2 under SISU and said he had a plan to get Cov to the Prem, I am quite sure you would have piously ushered them away in disgust saying "you represent the worst in football"...or maybe more likely you would have bitten their hand off, or even their wholearm.

Repeat after me "Since Alf Common became the first one thousand pound footballer in 1905, football has always been driven by money, just like the rest of the world"

How he has fallen. Suspect the money isn't great either

He's a completely different player to Hamer plus he plays in midfield which is something Wilder hasn't really done with Hamer.

Patronising, and failing to get it

What a winning combination.

No one, apart from our rabble, want Hamer. If you see their team Hamer now comes on and O'Hare goes off, they play the same position. I watched Saints vs Blades last night and the only one trying is O'Hare, it's quite alarming how a Wilder team can be playing without passion.

I am on record as saying if we were taken over by a Saudi oil baron and turned into a state propaganda tool I'd cease supporting the club. To each his own, you see no problem with piss takers coming in and blowing wages and transfer fees more out of proportion than they already are, while denying other clubs their own rises up the ladder. I disagree.

Having thought about it, this might mean Hull are in for someone as they are on a one in, one out restriction aren't they? They have done far better than i would have hoped this season and arent out of the running for autos yet. They also beat Preston 3-0 at Preston FFS

It's precisely that 'restriction' that has led to them doing well. They're being incentivised not to let good players leave while still being allowed to sign free agents.

Any update regarding the midfielder?

I get it and probably feel the same. I remember my Man City supporting mate saying this. Needless to say he's still a STH and enjoying every minute. I often remind him of his previous comment but he doesn't seem to give a fuck

I think that's the point. They want someone different, which is why Hamer may be allowed to leave.

End of the day it's just football and I support the club because it represents where I grew up. If it moves too far away from that I'll stop and focus on other things. In this hypothetical Reynolds scenario where you're cheating your way up the pyramid and using the infinite money hack to win games, it'd feel pretty hollow.

What we're doing right now without a tycoon and off the back of Robins dragging the club back up the pyramid is a refutation of all the people who shrug and go 'well you can't succeed without a tycoon I guess'.

Nope other than we have approached Sheffield United and Hamer a week or so back. Fuck knows where were at with it but id imagine if it was a goer there would have been a lot more noise

And we are still working on getting a CM in few irons in the fire but we cant offer the wages of others
