Does Chris Hughton count for this list?

Does Chris Hughton count for this list? No, as he was only ever caretaker and Joe Kinnear is still officially the manager according to the club.

Ipswich have sacked Jim Magilton after their failure to make the Championship playoffs. There is speculation that Roy Keane will be appointed as manager this week.
Barnet have given Ian Hendon the manager's job on a permanent basis after he guided them to safety in League Two.
Hereford boss Graham Turner is to step down as manager at the end of the season after 14 years in charge. He will remain at the club as director of football and chairman.

Keane is the new Town boss.
Not sure what I feel about that. If he gets a consistent squad who are able to get promoted he will be good, but if he can't do better then 9th then Magilton wasn't so rubbish!

i think ipswich was recently taken over and magilton spent 12 million on rubbish players so they have cash. i also read over a dozen players are out of contract in the summer so ther will be funds available

Marcus Evans has cash, just he is using it bit by bit basically. No-one knows who he is though, he has never made a public appearance and there are no pictures of the guy... I don't think we actually spent the full 12 mill, but it was on offer. Roy won't be on the highest of incomes because he hasn't actually achieved too much and he needs the experience. Sunderland was a little too deep for him as first job, but we will see what happens. We have 2 games left this season in which unless one of the top 6 has a problem with points taken off we can't get into top 6. We can get 7th though... Next season will be interesting for us anyway, and I am not fully expecting him to stay all season. Last night the new club exective made an appearance on Look East, it was his second day, anyone hazard a guess that the club were waiting for a new guy to do the duty? He was on the lists to leave a bit ago, and I think it is a shame that he left after a 3-2 victory against our largest rivals, I would have liked him to have had the last 2 matches with the knowledge that he was leaving... he is a very big Town ledgend . On other news, how long has B. Gunn got left?

Keane spent about £45m at Sunderland and they escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth last season. Not sure Ipswich will show him in any better light.
Rumour at St Andrews is McLeish will be gone, promotion or not, to be replaced by Darren Ferguson. McLeish might go back to the Scotland team.

One of the Sunday papers is reporting that Steve Coppell will leave Reading at the end of the season, again regardless of whether they are promoted.

One of the Sunday papers is reporting that Steve Coppell will leave Reading at the end of the season, again regardless of whether they are promoted. I was just about to mention that in relation to the news about Ferguson above as he's been talked about as a possible replacement for Coppell by the fans over the last month or so. One i'd definitely be happy with I actually mentioned Coppell to a mate last night as i've been one of the people who's thought all season (and im even more convinced following the 2nd half of the season collapse) that he would go at the end of the season. Needless to say this mate thought i was a bit mad! It was actually first mentioned in the Mail back in the summer when Coppell decided to stay on, basically because he didnt want someone else to come in and steal the glory by taking us back up, like Alan Smith did when Coppell left Palace following their relegation from the prem in 93. The rumour is that Coppell would have left in 2006 had we not gone up having not done so the year before, and after what would be 2 disappointing seasons in Coppell's eyes if we didnt go up i can't see why this season would be any different. Its interesting that having campaigned for him to stay last summer with the, now infamous, car park demonstration that definitely played a part in Coppell's decision to stay on, about two-thirds of the fanbase want Coppell to leave even if we go up. Im a big Coppell fan and he's quite possibly the best manager we've ever likely to have, but as sad as it would be im one of those that said yes. Things have gone stale since the start of the year and i think Coppell has taken us as far as he can, and actually from some of the interviews he's given in that time needs a break from the game. It would be fitting for him to leave after taking us up, leave on a high rather than after the inevitable relegation next summer

Coppell was a great player and, mostly, has been a very good manager. As a Brighton fan, I was sorry when he left us for Reading but it was clearly the right decision for him.

Oldham have appointed Darlington boss Dave Penney as their manager. He takes over from caretaker Joe Royle, who had replaced John Sheridan.
Meanwhile, Stuart McCall has announced he is staying on at Bradford.

Updated with close season changes. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, because I find this a useful reference thread, but... When does the 2008/09 season become 2009/10 ? I realise (obviously) there is plenty to come before 2008/09 finishes. But, the managerial changes recorded so far are all at clubs for whom the 2008/09 season has completely finished, and are undoubtedly timed to allow maximum preparation for the 2009/10 season. So, shouldn't there now be a new thread for 2009/10 ? Just wondering, not trying to be an awkward so and so.

There is a formal date when the relegated teams from the Premiership hand over their shares in the Premiership company to those coming up. Arguably that should be the date (I think it's 30 June).
However, back in 2001 Man City were relegated and Joe Royle sacked. He was dismissed between the end of the season and this date. Man City paid him £300k but Royle claimed he was sacked when Man City were still a Premiership club, so he should have received more than double. The Court of Appeal decided that, as relegation was inevitable, the technicality did not matter and he was not entitled to that uplift.

This thread was initially created to record changes that took place during the season and I'll create a new thread for that in August. In the meantime, I've created a separate list for close-season changes (featuring, as you rightly say, clubs whose seasons have already finished), which will undoubtedly be many.

Burton Albion have appointed Mr. Karren Brady, Paul Peschisolido, as their new manager. Does he have any coaching / managerial experience at all ? This seems to be an extraordinary decision for a club that should be trying to consolidate its position in the Football League for the next couple of years.

He spent this season in Ireland as the assistant manager of St. Patrick's Athletic but this is his first managerial position.
