Summary

Aaron Paul and Jobi McAnuff are joined by Danny Cowley with the managerial merri-go-round in full swing ahead of the Christmas period.

They look at Steven Schumacher swapping Plymouth for Stoke City, and why Michael Beale’s appointment at Sunderland hasn’t impressed the club’s supporters.

We also hear from Barrow captain Niall Canavan on their fine run of form. And there’s little festive cheer for Forest Green and Sutton United, who’ve both changed their managers this week, with Troy Deeney becoming player-coach at the New Lawn.

02:20 Steven Schumacher becomes the new Stoke City boss 10:42 Michael Beale’s “underwhelming” appointment at Sunderland 17:29 Niall Canavan and Barrow 30:06 Troy Deeney and the peril of being a player-manager 36:38 What’s gone wrong at Sutton?
