A number of changes in the managerial merry go round in the Championship!!

Villa appoint Di Matteo as manager as expected. Interesting one this and one that could go either way in my view. He did get WBA up at the first attempt after their relegation from the Prem but this Villa team is possibly the worst team to drop out of the Prem so needs a complete overhaul!!
Blackburn appoint Owen Coyle. But the Venky's are still in control so we know what will happen here!!
L**ds appoint Garry Monk, a good manager but refer to Blackburn above but replace with Massimo!!
Rotherham appoint Alan Stubbs from Hibs. No idea what he is thinking with this move, they are right at their peak in terms of position aren't they??

I would imagine both would command high fees as both are under contract.  I actually think it would be harder to replace Forestieri, Joe Wildsmith is not far off being ready whereas we have no one of FFs quality and it would cost a pretty penny to get someone in.

Have we issued any sort of retained list yet?

No retained list issued yet, Lopez (loan ends), Wallace, Melo, Hutch, Price, Lavery, Wildsmith and Dawson contracts expire end of June from what I can find.

Didn't Wallace get a one year extension already or am I completely making that up???
