Aren’t they all borrowing the name from Wanderers who existed before both of them and won some of the first FA Cups. They were London based, name based on them not having a specific home ground for a while

Bolton Wanderers was formed first. They were founded in 1874 (as Christ Church FC, becoming Bolton Wanderers in 1877). Wolverhampton Wanderers were founded shortly after in 1877 (initially as St. Luke's F.C.), and became known by their current name two years later.

They both chose the title ‘Wanderers’ because neither had a permanent home when first forming, playing their home games on different grounds/pitches/fields.
 
Could he agent led to get Bristol City to make an offer so they don’t “lose” him to someone else. Haven’t they also being linked with the Lincoln manager as well
