In this week’s edition of The Football League Paper Podcast...
Matt Badcock is joined by Football League Paper Chief Writer Chris Dunlavy and John Lyons, Football League Paper Editor, to talk through all the latest in the EFL.
The trio discuss the latest news coming out of Southampton as their manager Tonda Eckert learned his fate following the investigation into the ‘Spygate’ scandal, which removed the Saints from the play-off final last season. The Independent FA panel gave him a six-week ban from football, suspended until the end of the 2027/28 campaign.
Elsewhere, the Championship returns after the international break with West Ham vs QPR on Friday.
Other big games include Middlesbrough taking on Wolves on Saturday, and a mouthwatering south-coast derby between Southampton and Portsmouth on Sunday.
The EFL managerial merry-go-round continues, with Graham Alexander taking charge of his first Preston North End game at home to Millwall after leaving Bradford City last week. Alexander returns to Deepdale after spending a decade at the club as a player.
In his stead, Michael Duff will take the reins with the Bantams, following his departure from Wycombe Wanderers in September.
And finally, Robbie Savage undertakes his first position as an EFL manager, taking over at Peterborough United. Savage’s tenure got off to a winning start, as the Posh beat Ipswich Town’s U21s 4-1 in the Jersey Mike’s Trophy in mid-week, and the former Wales international has promised all-out attacking football as he looks to revive the club following Luke Williams’ short spell.
