The poor Sunderland fans get rid of one dour sap and replace him with…Howard Wilkinson! Some people have all the luck.


Olympiakos have sacked their manager, Takis Lemonis, despite being top of the league.


Doncaster Rovers have signed Manchester United youngster Ben Muirhead on a month's loan.

The former England youth international is set to make his Conference debut on the right-hand side of Doncaster's midfield in Friday's home game against Forest Green.


From the official site:

On-loan United midfielder Bojan Djordjic is loving life with AGF Aarhus in Denmark.

"It's great. I'm playing, which is the best thing.

"I'm really glad Sir Alex let me come here. He told me that I might not get a chance in the first team this season, and there was a chance of a loan deal. I'm really thankful he was so honest, as some managers wouldn't let their players go out on loan like that.

"I've been playing almost every week, if not starting then I've come off the bench. Last week we beat Aalborg, who were top of the League at the time. I set up the first goal, had a hand in the second and was voted man of the match by TV viewers. That was great."

While Bojan has been playing well for Aarhus, his good friend John O'Shea has made the breakthrough into United's senior side. Djordjic is thrilled for the Republic of Ireland defender.

"I've kept in touch with John and Danny Webber," he said.

"John and I lived together in digs for a couple of years, and I'm really pleased with the chances he's had this season. We always knew he had the talent to make it, and now he can play anywhere! He's playing right-back now, and how tall is he? Danny's doing well at Watford, too. he just says he needs the goals to start coming.

"Danish football is a bit quicker than English football, but the standard is not as good as in the Premiership. We get great crowds here, though. We get the second biggest crowds in Denmark after FC Copenhagen.

"Denmark did pretty well at the World Cup, so interest is pretty high at the moment. It's really good to be here.

"Will I get a chance at United because of this? You never know, it can't do me any harm," he concluded.

AGF Aarhus are currently sixth in the League, having won four of their eleven matches to date. Bojan has played in their last five matches, with two wins, two losses and a draw the outcome.
