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 himself looks set for the Blackpool job.

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 expected to be 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.

Fulham are still yet to announce a permanent successor to Felix Magath at Fulham but the impressive caretaker manager Kit Symons appears set to be handed the job after helping to turn the Cottagers' season around.

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.
