Four Championship managers have been running Manager hires over the international break, and it's created quite the soap opera.
Ali and George give thoughts on:

12:20 - 16:30 : Southampton - running with interim Tonda Eckert for now, is that a smart move?
16:30 - 21:45: Norwich City appoint Philippe Clement - we delve into his managerial past.
21:25 - end: Swansea City - jilted by Hellberg and potentially turning to Victor Matos.
