I'm a little shocked at this one; but The Championship is a mad mad place...!

I agree Sven. Just outside the playoffs. The Championship is so wide open

Sunderland make surprise decision to sack manager Tony Mowbray -

TONY MOWBRAY has lost his job as Sunderland head coach, with the club making the surprise decision to change boss.

Mowbray leaves his job with the Black Cats sitting in ninth position in the Championship table, just three points off the play-off places.

His final game in charge was Saturday's 1-1 draw at Millwall, a result that extended the Black Cats' winless run to three matches.

The decision to dismiss Mowbray after a year-and-a-half in charge feels extremely harsh, with the former Middlesbrough, Celtic and Blackburn boss having guided Sunderland into the play-offs last season.

Mowbray has also helped develop a host of young players, helping nurture the likes of Anthony Patterson, Dan Ballard, Dan Neil and Jack Clarke, who have all blossomed under his tutelage.

However, his comments in the wake of Saturday's draw, in which he discussed the balancing act between playing the young players that were signed by sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, and trying to achieve positive results, hinted at a tension that has been apparent throughout the majority of his reign.

Aye, the next one in will get all the credit for his good work.

They've done a Birmingham sacked the manager when the clubs in a good position

Sunderland are now interested in appointing former Preston North End youth coach Will Still as the replacement for Tony Mowbray.

We have now seen a couple of managerial sackings in the Championship this week.

Swansea City boss Michael Duff was axed on Monday with Tony Mowbray next to go just hours later.

The busy festive period is coming up and teams are making changes with no midweek fixtures this week.

Sunderland sacking Mowbray was something of a surprise, but the Black Cats could now make an ambitious move.

Will Still wanted by Sunderland -

TEAMtalk claim that Sunderland are now targeting Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna and Reims boss Will Still to replace Mowbray.

Whether they actually get anywhere with those pursuits remains to be seen but we could see Still return to England.

The Belgian has been on a quite remarkable journey and it all started at Preston North End.
