EFL clubs have voted in favour of expanding the Championship play-offs from four to six teams.

The new system is similar to the format used in the National League and will be introduced for the 2026-27 season.

It means teams finishing from third to eighth will compete for promotion to the Premier League.

Clubs finishing third and fourth will progress directly to the semi-final, while a one-legged quarter final will be played with fifth at home to eighth and sixth hosting seventh.

Not sure I like this. How about just having 24 teams play home and away and the top 3 get promoted?

Bristol City have appointed as their head coach until the end of the season......

One Roy Hodgson.

Blimey how has that guy still got the motivation to be a manager? Nearly killed him at Palace didn't it...

I think he breaks the Football League record for the longest spell between returning to the same club which he managed in 1982.

That's the most weirdly specific stat I've ever read in my life.
