I'm not sure if its rumour or an article that has picked up traction but there is widespread reporting on social media that plans are being made to replace Manning - no matter the results this week.

Front runners mentioned:
  • Mark Robins - Currently at Stoke and doing well, has a release clause in his contract.
  • Gary O'Neil - Unattached
  • Danny Rohl - Unattached but rumoured to be close to accepting the Rangers job
  • Michael Carrick - Unattached
 
Rohl has already signed at Rangers. Are there any rumours/articles about plans to replace Knapper?

A nice selection of British managers (except Rohl, who is now taken) to annoy carrabuh
 
Sheffield Wednesday have entered Administration and have been given a 12 point deduction, we are due to play them, away on 5th November
 
I see that at the age of 33 Jed Steed has hung up his boots (gloves?). Young for keeper but he is without a club at the moment after finishing at Posh.

Thanks for flagging

If I recall correctly (my brother knew him a little) he’s a bright, academic guy who had options other than football. It may be he looked at his career and thought that while he could spend another 5+ years playing for decreasing quality clubs, the better alternative was to get on and move from his playing career and use his other talents.
 
Interesting World Cup draw.
If Northern Ireland and Wales win their next game, they play each other in the final qualifier.
That would be a great event.
Unfortunately NI have to beat Italy 1st
