That's slightly concerning - I wonder whats causing him to do those things?

Marti Cifuentes has been sacked as Leicester City boss after just six months in charge with the Foxes in the bottom half of the Championship table.

The 43-year-old's final match as manager was Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by lowly Oxford United - Leicester's 11th loss in 29 league games under the Spaniard.

Cifuentes took over in July with the aim of restoring the Foxes to the Premier League after their second relegation from the top flight in three years last season, but has been sacked with them sitting 14th, six points short of the play-off places.

There is some interesting info about his contract

Coventry are looking in danger of bottling the big advantage that they had earlier in the season!

Coventry's drop off is honestly shocking, Boro having a drop off is explainable when they had the new manager in.

But running away with the league then a 4 loss streak is just baffling.

Aul Lamps!

Leicester City have been docked six points by the English Football League for breaching financial rules.

The deduction will be applied immediately meaning the Foxes fall from 17th to 20th in the Championship and are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

It comes after Leicester were charged by the Premier League in May for a profit and sustainability (PSR) breach in the three years up to 2023-24.

Leicester were relegated from the top flight last season and are currently without a permanent manager after Marti Cifuentes was sacked in January.

In a statement Leicester said they were "disappointed" with the decision, branding it "disproportionate".

Pity they couldn’t do this to all the teams guilty of this!

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has been appointed Blackburn Rovers boss until the end of the season in a move that will see him juggle both roles.

Confirming the appointment on Friday, Blackburn said interim boss Damien Johnson will be in the dugout for Saturday's Championship game against Queens Park Rangers with O'Neill watching in the stands.

After losing again today, Sheffield Wednesday can be relegated next week.

Must be the earliest ever relegation? (Albeit with deducted points)

Leicester has appealed a six-point deduction after an independent commission found them to be in breach of the EFL Profit and Sustainability Rules, while the Premier League has lodged its own appeal for the club's breach of the league’s rules regarding the late submission of its annual accounts.

West Brom lost their lunchtime fixture so Sheffield Wednesday can't be relegated today. They will go down if they don't win tomorrow - at Sheffield United.

According to the BBC website today, it is indeed a record. No team has ever finished a season on negative points. Sheffield Wednesday have been stuck on -7 for ten games.
