After rather a long wait, Birmingham City confirmed Pep Clotet as permanent boss at the beginning of December...

As I posted in the League One thread, they have since appointed Graham Coughlan. Gabriele Cioffi has parted company with Crawley and they have since appointed John Yems.

Managerial change that has occurred in League One here. Graham Coughlan has left Bristol Rovers and has since joined League Two side Mansfield. Ben Garner has replaced him.

Anyone got any resolutions on this? I am keeping up the swimming and intend to walk a lot more on my days off as I (hopefully) get fitter.

John Sheridan has been sacked at Chesterfield.

Happy New Year all.

My work pattern over the next week or so doesn't allow much time for these, so I'll do all whilst I am off. Hope everyone has a good Christmas.

Fine weather for ducks. Are we meant to be driving or sailing to where we are meant to go?

This punishment is suspended for 18 months and Bolton are on positive points. It would have been very harsh if this had been given immediately given all the hard work that has been put in by the team on the pitch under the guidance of Keith Hill and his coaching team. They were also fined £20,000 for the Brentford fixture and £50,000 for the Doncaster fixture. Half of both of these are also suspended for 18 months.

Carlisle United have sacked Steven Pressley. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50402555 Grimsby have also parted company with Michael Jolley. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50434574 Other than the managerial merry go round, Macclesfield are charged with misconduct by the EFL. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50423155

Few blunders by the politicians so far, one candidate didn't even manage to start campaigning. Over 70 MPs leaving Parliament.

Brilliant start for the Conservatives here, they elected a candidate one day and he resigned soon afterwards over words uttered 5 years ago... Broadland constituency in Norfolk by the way.

I am rather surprised as Keogh was a casualty in this incident, not the actual perpetrator. In other news, Stoke have sacked Nathan Jones. Not surprising, just surprised it didn't happen earlier. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49428903

Safe conservative seat here, but the sitting MP is retiring...
