The Championship season is well under way and it will be a fascinating tussle for the teams who are battling it out for a big juicy slice of the pizza that is the Premiership.

Out of 24 teams in the second tier of English football, realistically you could say 15 have actual aspirations to be promoted or to be in or around the play-offs come May.

Its been 14 years since Roy Keane played in the Manchester United team that thrashed Ipswich Town 9-0. Today he pledged his allegiance to the club as their new manager, signing a 2 year contract. Keane will no doubt hope to replicate his success at Sunderland and bring Ipswich back to the Premier League.

Out of the Blue

Roy Keane and Ipswich eh? Now there's a pairing I didn't see coming. It was a strange time to get rid of a manager in the first place. I can't think of many managers that have lost their job two games from the end of the season and coming off the back of a thrilling win over your local rivals.
