Darren Moore becomes the permanent West Bromwich Albion manager:

And Lambert leaves Stoke:

And just two hours before that, Swansea sack Carvalhal:

Prediction:

 

Sheepshaggers to be in the top 2 by December, will fall out of the play-offs by March, and finish 6th; they'll lose to Millwall in the semi-final. Rowett sacked.

 

Forest go through another couple of managers before finishing 15th. 

[MC Prussian]

And Shteeve McClaren goes QPR:

Busy day in terms of managerial changes in the Championship, eh?

[Lovejoy]

Impossible to predict next year. I reckon a few outsiders may fancy their chance to gain automatic promotion. Middlesbrough will sadly be in the mix I'd imagine.

[Poznan34]

Nothing certain except Derby bottling promotion again. 

[Brainy]

Moore is such a risk for them. He came in and did well when they were already seen as being down, no pressure on him whatsoever. Wouldn't surprise me if he's gone by Christmas

Up the Owls

Not that lot. No way.

[Fox92]

As usual, Bristol City will be 5th at Christmas and eventually finish 12th.

I like both Sheff clubs and they’d be very local to us if either went up

[SystonFox]

Wolves to spend big again 

[Soar Fox]

There’s no stand out team like usual who you expect to be up there all season. Expect Darren Moore to be gone before the end of November tbh. Fancy Wigan to do well next season as outsider. 

 

Aston Villa or Fulham depending on which one doesn’t go up to struggle next season. Fulham could lose their manager, Sessgengon, Mitrovic, Cairney. Villa would have to make cut back I imagine. 

 

1. Middlesbrough 

2. Brentford

 

3. Derby 

4. Stoke

5. West Brom

6. Wigan 

 

 

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Want Wba to come back up as it's a class away game.

 

But I don't think Moore will last long. Coach to manager at same club never seems to work in recent times. It's a whole new ball game.

 

Also would like derby to finally come back up too....do miss a east Midlands derby in the prem.

 

The loser of the playoff final will be up there for sure too. As for the other two relegated clubs it depends who they get in charge.

Agree. I like Cooke and rate him as a manager - everywhere he's been he's done very well, somewhat overachieving at times. 

 

I think I might back Wigan as an outsider.

[MC Prussian]

I wouldn‘t rule out Blackburn Rovers to challenge for a Top Ten spot.

[Happy Fox]

Preston will finish in the Top 2.

[Wymsey]

Can see Derby slipping to towards where Forest finished last season and Forest to be more stronger.

[Tuna]

Stoke rumoured to be approaching Rowett again.

[Corky]

He'd want to join a bigger club so fair play to him

 

 

[Ian Nacho]

Derby get a decent manager.......... Annndddd its gone.

 

[Fox92]

haha good grief. So he'll be off then.

[AjcW]

I can’t work out whether Rowett is a bit of a **** or mell has pissed off and driven out yet another manager
