Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough has acknowledged that his team faced tough competition from League One rivals Wrexham in the transfer market for a defender. Clough discussed Wrexham’s financial power, which ultimately led to Lewis Brunt choosing the Red Dragons over the Stags. The manager suggested that other League One clubs do not have the same resources as Wrexham, highlighting the challenges faced in securing top talent during the transfer window. Despite the setback, Clough remains focused on strengthening his squad for the upcoming season.
