Lincoln City are going to be a Championship team next season, and with that in mind, I thought it might be prudent to start covering some news from our new destination. So, to see how it goes (as I don’t hit NewsNow for Championship, so interested to see how it’s recieved) here is the latest Championship news.
Davies on the brink as Birmingham line up Carsley
Chris Davies is under mounting pressure at Birmingham City, with Lee Carsley emerging as a leading candidate to replace him should results fail to improve.
Birmingham’s campaign has unravelled after last season’s record-breaking promotion push, leaving them 16th and drifting well outside the play-off picture. A run of six defeats in eight games has intensified scrutiny, and with a crunch fixture looming, there is a growing sense that another setback could trigger a change in the dugout.
Carsley, currently in charge of England’s Under-21s, is understood to be more open to the role than in the past. His existing relationship with Craig Gardner adds another layer to the situation, although the director of football is also facing pressure amid the club’s downturn.
The backdrop is one of expectation not being met, particularly when compared to rivals who have adapted more convincingly to life in the second tier.
