This weekend marks the true start of autumn, with big coats invited back out of the wardrobe and half-time hot drinks suddenly becoming appealing again. And with that, welcome back to Sacking Silly Season in the Football League.
In the Championship alone last year, 16 of 24 clubs changed manager mid-season, with many pulling the trigger twice. So far this term, four Football League clubs have changed bosses — Huddersfield, Charlton, Tranmere and Fleetwood — and more will soon follow.
Huddersfield confirmed their replacement last night for Neil Warnock — who said he was ‘gobsmacked and a bit hurt’ by his exit — with Darren Moore taking over.
