What is happening elsewhere in the Championship?

There have been a multitude of managerial changes in the past few days, with Birmingham City moving to bring in Burton Albion's Gary Rowett after dismissing Lee Clark, who has taken charge of bottom-of-the-table Blackpool.

That vacancy opened up after Karl Oyston chose to dispense with the increasingly beleaguered Jose Riga, while Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino also pulled the trigger on Slovenian Darko Milanic, who lasted just 32 days and six games in the Elland Road hotseat.

He is being replaced by academy chief Neil Redfearn, who has already had a caretaker role at the club so far this term, while Sami Hyypia remains under pressure at Brighton and Hove Albion.

Plus, there are transfer rumours continuing to float around, with the loan window still open for business and presenting an opportunity for managers to bolster their squads.
