Without the Sunderland documentary, Wrexham might not be the thriving club it is today. The book reveals that Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds initially considered other clubs, such as Aldershot Town and Bolton Wanderers, before choosing Wrexham. Had they not purchased the club, it’s hard to say where Wrexham would be now, as they were struggling in the National League with financial constraints and issues with timely player payments. McElhenney and Reynolds have proven to be exceptional owners, and their successful investment owes much to the inspiration they drew from Sunderland’s documentary.

Ryan Mmaee was set to make his return for Stoke City in a friendly match against Bolton Wanderers after almost four months away from the team. Unfortunately, just as he was about to rejoin the squad, Mmaee suffered a setback. He had missed the final weeks of the previous season due to a hamstring injury and had been working with the fitness staff over the summer to recover from a knee injury.

“Would pay 7 figures” – Bolton Wanderers urged to splash the cash for Derby, Portsmouth & Sheff Wed target

Bolton Wanderers are being encouraged to pursue the ambitious signing of Brest attacking midfielder Karamoko Dembele, who is also attracting interest from Championship clubs Derby County, Portsmouth, and Sheffield Wednesday. Dembele gained worldwide attention at the age of 13 when he appeared for Celtic’s under-20 side and seemed destined for a bright future at Parkhead. However, he made just one senior appearance in Glasgow before moving to Brest two years ago.

Despite struggling for regular playing time at Brest, managing only 164 minutes in Ligue 1 during the 2022/23 season, Dembele thrived during a loan spell with League One side Blackpool last season. There, he scored eight goals and provided 13 assists, significantly contributing to the team, although Blackpool narrowly missed out on a top-six finish by just two points.

According to a recent report by Darren Witcoop via X, Brest is looking to offload Dembele this summer, which has led to interest from Derby County, Portsmouth, and Sheffield Wednesday. Witcoop’s report also mentions Bolton Wanderers, with the Bolton News revealing that the Trotters have initiated contact to sign Dembele on a permanent basis as they prepare for a promotion bid in the upcoming season.

In January 2022, Ogbeta signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Swansea City for a reported fee of £300,000. However, his time at Swansea was marred by hamstring issues, limiting him to just 53 minutes of play in his first half-season. It appeared he might leave the club that summer after reportedly being informed he was not part of manager Russell Martin’s first-team plans. Despite this setback, Ogbeta stayed at Swansea but struggled to break into the team.
