It's the final international break of the year and a time when most manager movements take place during the season. That's no different this year, with Middlesbrough, Norwich and Swansea all managerless heading into the second week of the break.

Middlesbrough, however, may be about to end their search, with reports of Hammarby boss Kim Hellberg tipped to take over at the Riverside, after allegedly snubbing Swansea City. Norwich remain without a head coach, but Jon Dahl Tomasson has been linked with the East Anglian club after being fired as Sweden boss last month.

Simon Lillibury is joined by Jonny from Boro Breakdown and the ever-optimistic Oli Mann of The Sheffield United Way to discuss all the latest Championship news, as well as the future for Chris Wilder at Sheffield United.

Norwich City have finally seen enough and fired Liam Manning after 15 EFL Championship games played, with just 2 wins from a squad more than capable of battling for the top six.

Ian Herbert joins Callum Fowler this week to chew the fat with Simon Lillibury after a rollercoaster weekend in the Championship, which sawe Blackbrun Rovers lose their 3-game winning run and managerless Middlesbrough beat the in-form Birmingham City, as well as Frank Lampard winning the top of the table clash, 1-0 away at Stoke City.

Southampton sack Will Still after 2 wins in 13 league games. Will Still becomes the second manager to be sacked in the Championship this season, with Liam Manning expected to be not far behind after his Norwich side slumped to their sixth defeat in a row at home to Hull City.

Simon Lillibury is joined by Gab Sutton and Conor McGilligan to review the weekend's EFL Championship action, iincluding Wrexham's sensational win over Coventry City on Friday night, succumbing the Sky Blues to their first league defeat of the season, with Kieffer Moore netting a hat-trick.

The panel take a deep-dive into Southampton and Norwich City to unearth exactly what is going on and whether now was the right time to make a call on Will Still after his move from French football to England, and whether the sacking of Will Still will propel Norwich City to make a decision on the future of Liam Manning.

Ralph Hassenhuttl has been linked with a return to Southampton, with Russell Martin also said to be a welcome addition by the players at St Mary's.

Simon Lillibury is joined by Conor McGilligan and Gab Sutton to discuss all the latest EFL Championship news including the manager mayhem that could soon be upon us, with managers on the move around the footballing world and Championship managers past and present being linked with some big, big jobs!

The panel also take a look at the Watford situation, with Paulo Pezzolano OUT at Vicarage Road, with familiar face Javi Gracia back in. And what does the future look like for Frank Lampard - is it the potential next England manager after a superb tenure at Coventry City, seeing them reach the play-offs last season and remaining unbeaten this season (so far).

And what about the Premier League? Could we see an influx of past and present EFL Championship managers head to the top-tier, with jobs at Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and more under threat?

Simon is joined by Benjamin Bloom and Jonny from Boro Breakdown as they take a deep dive into Middlesbrough just after they lose their unbeaten record. The lads also look at the Old Farm derby, Coventry City sitting at the top of the league still unbeaten and Preston North End flying after being overlooked by everyone at the start of the season.

But that will be saved by and large for Friday. This week we'll be discussing each team's start to the season under Kieran McKenna and Liam Manning's stewardship and discussing whether it's been the start both teams expected, or whether they've both underwhelmed (despite Ipswich's 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United).

As always the pair will preview the biggest fixtures ahead of the weekend.

On Friday we will be back with a more in-depth preview of Ipswich Town vs Norwich City in our EXTRA show for the first Old Farm derby of the season.
