Players have not been paid at Wrexham's Championship rivals
Wednesday, who face Wrexham at The Racecourse in their third Championship fixture of the 2025-26 season on Saturday August 23, are under a three-window fee restriction imposed by the EFL over late payments to players, a sanction the club have appealed against, and are also under a transfer embargo.
Owner Dejphon Chansiri is looking to sell the club but in the meantime, players are in limbo and in discussion with their agents and their union, the Professional Footballers' Association, over what may happen next.
Molango, a former Wrexham loanee during his playing career, admits it is not an easy situation for anyone.
'We have got a pattern of late payment,' he said.
'The standard contract foresees certain kinds of situations where you can terminate your contract and this is where there is a serious and/or persistent breach. So that's what we'll be looking at.
'We've been in touch with the players. Our role is not to tell them what they need to do, (it is) to give them the tools and say, 'this is what you could do if those criteria are met'.
'Then it is for them to assess what they want to do, because I wouldn't take it for granted that just because certain criteria are met, automatically someone just terminates their contract. There are other considerations.
'We are in touch with them, it's not an easy situation as you can imagine, because ultimately, you know, people need to be paid.
'Particularly for me it's a bit shocking because normally this is stuff you see in other countries I have played in, but not in England.
'So we really want to be strong on that, and this is something that we will not tolerate and we will be very much on top of it.
'It's not a good situation but we hope that somehow there could be a positive resolution to it.'

Iga Swiatek's Wimbledon run fuelled by strawberries mixed with pasta
The Pole's less-than-stellar record on grass and a disappointing year thus far meant she arrived at the All England Club as something of an also ran. But being under the radar is suiting the former world number one just fine, and she progressed to the last 16 with a 6-2 6-3 victory against fiery American Danielle Collins. Afterwards, Swiatek revealed her diet this fortnight has included strawberries and pasta, a childhood favourite in Poland. The 24-year-old was perplexed by the attention given to her culinary choices, saying: 'Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that. I think in summer kids are eating it a lot. It's just a perfect mix of tastes. We have great strawberries in Poland, as well. 'My dad adds the cream. And some sugar. I try to eat with yoghurt to at least pretend that it's a good meal.' Asked which country's strawberries were better, Swiatek admitted her answer might get her in trouble. 'I think Poland,' she said. 'Because we have a better climate for strawberries, right? Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions. The strawberries are great here, as well. They are different. But they are great.' Iga Swiatek favours an unusual twist on strawberries and cream (Steven Paston/PA) Swiatek is a former junior champion but she has often cut an uncomfortable figure at Wimbledon, weighed down by the pressure of expectation on a surface that is not natural to her. But this year the Pole is only seeded eighth, while she found her feet on grass by reaching the final of the warm-up event in Bad Homburg last weekend. She never looked in the slightest trouble against Collins, who has beaten her twice in the past, including on her favoured clay this year in Rome. There is little love lost between them, with Collins, who reversed a decision to retire at the end of last season and start a family because of fertility issues, criticising Swiatek for 'fakeness' in her reaction after pulling out injured during their clash at the Olympics last summer. Collins is renowned for her feisty attitude on court and earned headlines around the world at the Australian Open in January when, after beating home hope Destanee Aiava in a hostile atmosphere, she blew kisses to the crowd and slapped her bottom. 'Every person that's bought a ticket to come out here and heckle me or do what they do, it's all going towards the Danielle Collins Fund,' she said. 'Me and my group of girlfriends love a five-star vacation.' A mid-afternoon Centre Court crowd in SW19 is about as big a contrast as it is possible to get, and Collins simply did not play well enough to apply any psychological pressure to Swiatek. Danielle Collins takes a tumble (Mike Egerton/PA) 'I was just in the zone. I knew how I wanted to play and I knew I needed to be brave,' said the five-time grand slam champion, who was particularly effective on serve. 'You can't let Danielle play her winners. I'm really happy with the performance, it was a good match. It's much more fun this year. I had some practices where the ball was listening to me, which was pretty new on grass.' This is only the third time Swiatek has reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, with her best run so far a quarter-final appearance two years ago. She faces a dangerous opponent next in 23rd seed Clara Tauson, who defeated former champion Elena Rybakina, but, with so many big names already out of the tournament, Swiatek appears to have a good chance of going all the way.

Novak Djokovic joins Roger Federer in exclusive Wimbledon men's club
The 38-year-old eased past fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 6-0 6-4 on Centre Court. Djokovic is now just five wins behind Wimbledon's only other male centurion, his great rival Roger Federer on 105 match victories. Milestone met. The journey continues… Novak Djokovic has become just the 3rd player to record 100 match-wins at Wimbledon, after 9-time champion Martina Navratilova and 8-time champion Roger Federer 🌱#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 'Very historic, it sounds very nice,' he said. 'Tennis made me who I am, it has given me incredible things in life so I try not to take anything for granted, especially at my age and trying to compete with the younger players. 'Wimbledon is a favourite tournament, not just for myself but for most players. Any history I make at my favourite tournament, I'm blessed.' Apart from being broken when he served for the match, it was a pretty routine display for the seven-time champion, although one spectacular diving backhand volleyed winner after a lung-busting rally will make the highlights reel. Novak Djokovic, left, hugs compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic (Mike Egerton/PA) That shot thrilled the Saturday SW19 crowd and a host of sports glitterati in the Royal Box including Sir Geoff Hurst, Sir Steve Redgrave and Lord Botham. The Centre Court punters could be forgiven for feeling a little short-changed, however, after three one-sided contests. Certainly the 11pm curfew was never in danger after Jannik Sinner dropped just five games against Pedro Martinez and Iga Swiatek beat Danielle Collins in straight sets, before Djokovic disposed of his 25-year-old countryman in an hour and 47 minutes. Djokovic, bidding for a record 25th grand slam title, will face Australian 11th seed Alex De Minaur in his 17th appearance in the last 16 at Wimbledon.
