Former Premier League sides Sunderland and Bolton are on the rise again
As it’s the international break, both the Premier League and Championship will grind to a halt for the next 10 days as players jet off worldwide to meet up with their international colleagues. Leagues One and Two will come into the spotlight domestically as a result, and we’re going to use the time to take a look at two former top-flight teams vying to make their way back to the summit, starting with promotion this season. Sunderland and Bolton Wanderers spent a combined 29 seasons in the Premier League since its 1992 inception. However, since their respective relegations, they have both fallen dramatically from grace at an alarming rate.

Hammers chief now wishes he’d signed 24-goal striker last summer
According to the chairman of League One outfit Peterborough United Darragh MacAnthony, West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan wishes he had signed Ivan Toney during the last summer transfer window.
