Lee Johnson has been appointed as manager at Hibernian on a four year deal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61497427

Another pitch invasion to mar the game. There have been allegations. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61517517 Mansfield Town Vs Port Vale will be the fixture for this final. I am hoping for a Mansfield win here. Anymore hopes/predictions for this one?

Chris Hargreaves has been appointed as manager of Yeovil Town on a two year deal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61483338

Shame it was marred by the incident at the end for Billy Sharp. Huddersfield Town Vs Nottingham Forest is the final. I am hoping for a return to the Premier League for Nottingham Forest. Anymore hopes/predictions for this?

Mansfield Town are the first of the two teams in the play-off final for this division. A shame for Northampton Town who came so close to automatic promotion to lose out like this. Port Vale Vs Swindon tomorrow.

Another change, Salford have sacked Gary Bowyer. Billy Barr has also had his contract terminated. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61335969

Wayne Brown has been confirmed as permanent boss at Colchester United. He had been interim boss for the last few months. His assistants Joe Dunne and Dave Huzzey will be staying. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61480075

AFC Wimbledon have appointed ex-Charlton boss, Johnnie Jackson as their new manager on a two year deal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61466908 This is after Mark Bowen has left for an opportunity higher up the pyramid. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61370861 Paul Ince has been appointed permanent manager at Reading, assisted by Alex Rae. Mark Bowen has returned as head of football operations. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61472471

Very understandable from Forest Green's point of view. I was thinking that this could backfire on Watford. They have a manager who has been successful at League Two, not tested at League One let alone the Championship. For Edwards, there is also the swift turnaround in managers that Watford have had under the ownership of the Pozzo family.

Fixtures (All kick off at 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated): Sunday 15th May Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Burnley (12:00) Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace (14:00) Leeds United 0-3 Brighton & Hove Albion (14:00) Watford 1-3 Leicester City (14:00) West Ham United 2-2 Manchester City (14:00) Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Norwich City (14:00) Everton 1-1 Brentford (16:30) Monday 16th May Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal (20:00) Tuesday 17th May Southampton 0-3 Liverpool (19:45) Thursday 19th May Everton 1-0 Crystal Palace (19:45) Aston Villa 2-1 Burnley (20:00) Chelsea 1-0 Leicester City (20:00)

Just a note of explanation here, I mentioned elsewhere about where to place managerial changes that take place in between the football season. I have created this thread to note any changes during this period. First topic would be Rob Edwards who has left Forest Green Rovers (League Two champions, in League One next season) to take over at Watford (who will be in the Championship) from 2022-2023. Articles below: - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61405925 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61413324 Mark Kennedy named as Lincoln (League One) boss to succeed Michael Appleton. Previously assistant at Birmingham City. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61426440 Fleetwood Town (League One) have named Scott Brown as their head coach. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61426971

Sunderland Vs Wycombe Wanderers it is for the play-off final. My friend is going to be getting splinters. :lol:

Fixtures (All kick off at 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated): Tuesday 10th May Aston Villa 1-3 Liverpool (20:00) Wednesday 11th May Leeds United 1-3 Chelsea (19:30) Leicester City 1-1 Norwich City (19:45) Watford 0-1 Everton (19:45) Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Manchester City (20:15) Thursday 12th May Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Arsenal (19:45)

After the first legs, Sunderland hold a 1-0 lead over Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe hold a 2-0 lead over MK Dons. Looks like my friend will be sitting on the fence as this stands.

Hartlepool have sacked Graeme Lee 5 months after his appointment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61335974 Meanwhile, the relegation places have been decided in this division. There is still one automatic promotion spot up for grabs as well as the play-off positions. Also who will be crowned League Two champions? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-two/table I wouldn't like to call that. My head is spinning at the thought of it. :wacko:

Fixtures (All kick off at 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated): Saturday 7th May Brentford 0-0 Southampton Burnley 1-0 Aston Villa Chelsea 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Manchester United (17:30) Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur (19:45) Sunday 8th May Arsenal 2-0 Leeds United (14:00) Leicester City 3-1 Everton (14:00) Norwich City 1-2 West Ham United (14:00) Manchester City 1-0 Newcastle United (16:30)

Charlton have sacked Johnnie Jackson. Another League One club seeking another manager in between seasons, Lincoln City being the other. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61309630

^ I was hoping that the race for the second automatic spot would go to the final game. Great news for Bournemouth also with the news about David Brooks being cancer free. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61311759 This just leaves the final 2 promotion play off places to be decided this weekend.

If it turns out to be a Sunderland Vs Wycombe final, a friend of mine might have to sit in between the two sets of supporters. He supports both sides as he lived near them both at different times.

Further managerial changes here. Crewe Alexandra have appointed Alex Morris as permanent boss following the departure of David Artell. This follows a spell as interim boss. Morris will be assisted by Lee Bell. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61260692 Following yesterday's final game, Michael Appleton has left Lincoln City to look for another challenge: - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61285930

The regular season has now ended in this division. Wigan (champions) and Rotherham are up automatically. MK Dons, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and Wycombe are in the play-offs in that order. The play-offs are scheduled as follows: - May 5th Wycombe Wanderers Vs MK Dons (ko 19:45) May 6th Sunderland Vs Sheffield Wednesday (ko 19:45) May 8th MK Dons Vs Wycombe Wanderers (ko 18:30) May 9th Sheffield Wednesday Vs Sunderland (ko 19:45) In addition to the top two, League One are also saying farewell to the following clubs through relegation: - Gillingham, Doncaster Rovers, AFC Wimbledon and Crewe Alexandra.

^ I agree about Lampard. Another reason that could be against him is that he has not had the struggle at the wrong end of the table in management in my memory until this opportunity came up. Derby County (play-off hopeful), Chelsea at the top end of the table).

Fixtures (All kick off at 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated): Saturday 30th April Newcastle United 1-3 Liverpool (12:30) Aston Villa 1-2 Norwich City Southampton 0-0 Crystal Palace Watford 1-3 Burnley Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion Leeds United 1-1 Manchester City (17:30) Sunday 1st May Everton 1-0 Chelsea (14:00) Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Leicester City (14:00) West Ham United 1-2 Arsenal (16:30) Monday 2nd May Manchester United 0-0 Brentford (20:00)
