      Rooney won just two of his 15 matches as manager, with Birmingham slipping from fifth to 20th in the Championship.
      His assistant O’Shea had remained at St. Andrew’s but has also now departed the club.
      The Blues confirmed the Irishman’s exit in a statement which read: “The Club can confirm that First Team Coach, John O’Shea, has left by mutual consent.
      “The Board would like to place on record their sincere thanks to John for all his efforts.”

      O’Shea was appointed in October after Rooney’s arrival and worked under caretaker Steve Spooner following his dismissal.
      He was also part of the coaching team for Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Swansea as new boss Tony Mowbray oversaw his first match.
      Despite his departure from Birmingham, O’Shea remains Republic of Ireland assistant manager.

      How Championship is shaping up and who will win £200million Premier League jackpot – SunSport’s mid-season predictions

      by

      WE’RE now firmly into the second half of the race to make the Premier League promised land.Leicester and Ipswich have been setting the pace from the front – although the Tractor Boys have been reeled in recently by the blistering form of Southampton.

      With the transfer window open, we look at what the runners and riders need if they are to up the pace as the clubs make a dash for the winning post and the £200million jackpot prize of top flight football.
      Here SunSport looks at the top 14 teams who are currently in contention – and apologies to Swansea and Millwall down in 15th and 16th.
      I don’t see either as genuine contenders but, hey, this is the Championship, we might be left with egg on our face come May!
      Leicester
      Enzo Maresca’s side are going to be playing top-flight football next season.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The squad is too good for the Championship so the focus must be now on building a team, philosophy and identity that will be able to stay in the Premier League.
      The Foxes will need to strengthen in attacking areas because they surely cannot be relying on veteran Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho next season.
      Their midfield needs more creativity too. They do look a bit one-paced.
      Inter Milan and Italy midfield ace Stefano Sensi, 28, is said to have agreed to join the club this month in a move that will cost just under £2m.

      Ipswich
      What the Tractor Boys have been achieving this season with the same team that won promotion from League One last term is nothing short of remarkable.
      However, they do lack the strength in depth that rivals such as Southampton boast.
      The ruthless Championship fixture schedule had been taking its toll on Kieran McKenna’s men in recent weeks with Saints chasing them down.
      They sensibly brought in Lewis Travis, who made his debut on loan from Blackburn against Sunderland on Saturday, while attacking midfield ace Jeremy Sarmiento from Spurs came off the bench.
      Conor Chaplin has been superb up front but Ipswich have been eyeing up a loan deal for Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore while Wigan centre-back Charlie Hughes, 20, is also on the club’s radar.
      Chief scout Sam Williams has been personally watching him this season.
      Southampton
      Russell Martin never doubted that the Saints were going to be in the automatic promotion argument – even when four straight losses in September and a leaky defence at the time made it look unlikely.
      Their 4-0 thumping of Sheffield Wednesday made it 14 wins and five draws from their last 19 unbeaten Championship games.
      But with Kamaldeen Sulemana crocked and a lack of experienced replacements, Martin is keen to add another winger to his ranks to help push the Saints over the line in what is looking like a three-way fight with Ipswich and Leeds for second spot.
      David Brooks from Bournemouth is a realistic option while the Saints are keeping tabs on Manchester United kid Amad Diallo as a loan option after he was superb for Sunderland last season.
      Leeds
      Daniel Farke says the club will be reserved during this window as he is happy with his lot at Elland Road – after a chaotic summer where he was unable to nail down his squad until the last minute.
      The club have been in good form although they can be a little inconsistent. For example, they smashed Ipswich at home, only to lose a few days later at Preston.
      They could do with another left-back with Sam Byram having a string of injury issues while Junior Firpo has not exactly pulled up any trees.
      Rangers ace Borna Baristic could be an option.
      West Brom
      The Baggies need to bolster their attack if they are to be a serious threat in the business end of the season.
      As good as they can be on their day – especially at The Hawthorns – they lack a cutting edge at times. In fact, they are the lowest scorers in the top six.
      Bristol City striker Andreas Weimann is on their radar and West Brom boss Carlos Corberan said he wants someone who has good Championship experience.
      Coventry
      The Sky Blues are building up a nice head of steam right now.
      Their 3-1 comeback win over Leicester means they have now won seven, drawn four and lost just one of their last 12 league games and moved into the top six for the first time this season.
      Last year’s play-off finalists were hurt in the summer by the loss of star players Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer.
      Boss Mark Robins has signed this month midfielder Victor Torp in a £2.1m deal from Norwegian top flight club Sarpsborg to fill the void he had not yet filled left by Hamer.
      Their top priority this winter should be to tie down attacking midfielder Callum O’Hare, who scored twice on Saturday, to a new deal as his form has turned around Coventry’s season and his current deal expires this summer.
      Sunderland
      Two things that must happen this month at the Stadium of Light is to keep Jack Clarke and sign a striker.
      The Black Cats look a bit short at the moment of making the play-offs and will have no chance if they fail to secure the above.
      Clarke scored his 13th of the season and is being chased by West Ham, Brentford and Crystal Palace but Sunderland must reject all advances.
      Bournemouth’s Kieffer Moore and Blackburn’s Sam Gallagher are on boss Michael Beale’s radar.
      Hull
      One of the surprise play-off contenders that has emerged this season is Liam Rosenior’s men – but he will be keen to maintain their push beyond this transfer window.
      And the club have already been active in boosting their ranks.
      Bringing in attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho on loan from Liverpool after he was recalled from RB Leipzig is a great piece of business. Although he flopped in Germany, he is a proven performer in the Championship with Fulham.
      And bringing in experienced former Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp, who was a free agent, could prove to be inspired.
      Middlesbrough
      Michael Carrick’s men brought in veteran right-back Luke Ayling on loan from Leeds and attacking midfielder Finn Azaz from Aston Villa.
      But they do need a striker, like a lot of clubs competing, and must keep hold of man of the moment Hayden Hackney.
      The midfielder has been on fire for Boro and scored the winner against Chelsea to give his side a 1-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg advantage – but Tottenham are preparing a January swoop after keeping a close eye on him.
      Norwich
      Although the Canaries spent most of 2023 sitting in mid-table, this morning despite being 10th they have just two points behind the play-off spots so the first half of 2024 could be far from a write-off if they can get their act together.
      David Wagner is one of several managers chasing Bouremouth’s Moore but an interesting target is United winger Facundo Pellistri, 22, whom they want to bring in on loan.
      United have a good relationship with the Canaries and were happy with how the Norfolk side looked after and developed Brandon Williams a couple of seasons ago.
      Preston
      North End fans are bracing themselves for a boring month with hardly any business expected to be done at Deepdale after a busy summer of activity.
      The team are sitting 11th but are just a couple of points behind the top six.
      Preston have been rumoured to be after Newcastle’s defensive midfielder Isaac Hayden after he was recalled from his loan to Standard Liege.
      Cardiff
      After being under a transfer embargo for a whole year, the Bluebirds can splash the cash this winter – and boss Erol Bulut has made it clear he expects exactly that.
      He wants to make “three or four signings” but a striker is the absolute priority.
      And they have joined the queue for Bournemouth’s Moore.
      He also wants a winger, midfielder and centre-back.
      Watford
      The Hornets would like to bring in a left-back during this window.
      Wesley Hoedt is the only natural left-footer in their defence.
      Valerien Ismael has got Watford into the play-off mix and will go all guns blazing in the remaining 19 games.
      Bristol City
      It’s madness usually to consider a team sitting 14th in mid-January as a serious promotion contender – but, right now, the Robins are exactly that, just four points behind sixth-placed Coventry.
      And one of their targets this month is a controversial one… Bristol Rovers striker Chris Martin.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      Martin, 35, only left Ashton Gate last January, to join QPR, and moved to bitter rivals Rovers in the summer where he has been tearing up League One.
      The Robins want a No10 and striker before the end of the month. More

      Fans say ‘you can’t help but love Tony Mowbray’ as he hails Birmingham’s ‘Champions League’ BUFFET

      by

      FOOTBALL fans were loving Birmingham boss Tony Mowbray after he hailed the “unbelievable” buffet on offer at his new club.The ex-Sunderland boss, 60, was appointed Blues head coach earlier this month following the sacking of Wayne Rooney.
      Tony Mowbray hailed the food on offer in the Birmingham media room
      He is preparing for his first Championship game in charge against Swansea on Saturday afternoon after earning a replay in the FA Cup third round against Hull.
      But his pre-match press conference on Friday took an unexpected turn when Mowbray went off on a tangent about the food laid out in the media room.
      He said: “Look at the buffet they [the club] have put on for yous [the journalists]. It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?
      “The food at this club is unbelievable, it’s amazing. I thought my previous club [Sunderland] did amazing things in the kitchen but wow.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      “You are all very lucky, this is A1, top Premier League, Champions League food I suggest to you.
      “You’re very fortunate.”
      The Birmingham chief’s remarks led to laughter breaking out among journalists in the room.
      And footage of Mowbray’s hilarious comments circulated on social media as fans poured in with their responses.

      One said: “Tony Mowbray’s genuine enthusiasm for the buffet Birmingham City lay on each week is absolutely stupendous content.”
      While another added: “You can’t help but love Tony Mowbray.”
      A third replied: “A man who knows his food…”
      While a fourth responded: ” Feel like all his future jobs now will be based on the culinary skills of said club. And I’m here for it 😂.”
      Mowbray is looking to arrest Birmingham’s slide down the Championship table after Rooney’s stint saw them fall from sixth to 20th, just six points above the relegation zone.
      The veteran manager was only sacked by Sunderland last month despite his side sitting just three points adrift of the play-offs. More

      This weekend’s five-fold starts in the Championship with WEST BROM (7/10) hosting out of sorts Blackburn.
      Rovers sit bottom of the form table with just one point from their last five games.
      The Baggies are looking to maintain their spot in the play off places after winning their last three games at home. Two of those came in the Championship against Norwich and Leeds.
      Speaking of LEEDS (8/13), they’ve won 3-0 in back-to-back games and need to go on a bit of a run to catch Ipswich who are seven points clear and in second spot.
      Cardiff have only won once in their last six home games and this represents a good chance for an away win.
      PETERBOROUGH (21/20) are away to Charlton this weekend and sit two points off Bolton in second, so dropped points can be costly.
      Charlton are nine games without a win, while Posh have three wins away from home on the bounce. They also won the reverse fixture earlier this season.

      Staying in League One, NORTHAMPTON (11/8) host Wigan on Saturday looking to keep their winning run going.
      They’ve won their last two but have made home their fortress, winning five of the last six with leaders Portsmouth the only team to beat them in that run.
      Wigan were plucky in defeat to Man Utd earlier this week but have one win to their name in their last seven games and Northampton could have too much.
      The acca is finished off with CRAWLEY (10/11) who host Salford.
      The hosts have picked up three wins from their last four games while scoring seven goals in their last two games.
      The visitors haven’t won in twelve games, prompting a change of manager but it could be same old story.

      We head to League One for this one and Reading’s home game with Port Vale.
      Reading’s three games before the EFL Trophy defeat to Brighton U21’s were 3-2, 2-2 and 2-2.
      In fact, the 1-0 loss was only the second time in 17 games that a game involving Reading didn’t finish with both teams scoring.
      Port Vale’s last four games have brought 17 goals. So that trend could and should continue here. Wouldn’t put you off BTTS & over 3.5 goals at 9/4 either….

      The Longshot
      We’ve gone down the full time result with both teams to score for this one.
      Oxford United (3/1) are at Carlisle with their recent form a bit sticky, but they can bounce back at a Carlisle with just one win in their last nine – though they have only failed to score once in their last five home games.
      Wycombe (10/3) have hit a decent bit of form and could leapfrog opponents Leyton Orient with a home win.
      The Wanderers have won three of their last five home games, with both teams scoring in all three. The visitors have two draws and five defeats in their last seven games.
      And this bet finishes with Wrexham (5/2), still buoyed from beating Shrewsbury in the FA Cup last week.
      They’ve only lost one of their last 14 home games, with Wimbledon scoring on three successive away days.

      I was gutted when rival Wayne Rooney lost his job at Birmingham, the Championship is the hardest league in the world

      by

      LIAM ROSENIOR was gutted his old pal Wayne Rooney lost his job at Birmingham — and admitted: “The Championship is the hardest league in the world.”Manchester United and England legend Rooney was sacked after just 15 games and 83 days in charge of the Blues to become the second tier’s latest managerial casualty.

      Rosenior, who was Rooney’s assistant manager at Derby, is the seventh longest-serving boss in the division having taken over at Hull 14 months ago.
      He has guided the Tigers to seventh in the table after 26 games and they can climb into the play-off spots tonight with victory over Norwich.
      And Rosenior said: “Every manager needs time to build something.
      “I was devastated for Wayne because he’s a good friend of mine and I hoped it would go well for him.
      READ MORE ON WAYNE ROONEY
      “It’s a brutal industry. It’s crazy to think I’m one of the longest-serving managers having been here just over a year.
      “But the Championship is tough for managers because it’s so hard to go on consistent runs.
      “And it’s the hardest league in the world for a player. From a physical point of view, the schedule is crazy. We’ve just played four games in ten days.
      “When you have smaller squads with smaller budgets, you end up getting more injuries. It’s relentless.
      Most read in Championship
      FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS & NEW CUSTOMER BONUSES
      “We’re playing Norwich, who are 12th at the moment but in two games they can be sixth. The league is so tight and that speaks so much for the competition.”
      Hull have been on an upward trajectory since Rosenior arrived with the club 18th in the Championship.
      But the Tigers comfortably stayed up last term and are surprise play-off contenders this time around.
      Rosenior, 39, said: “The level in the Championship has gone up — the coaching and standard of players.
      “So for us to be in a position where we can challenge for the play-offs and be disappointed not to have more points from the performance is a great platform for the second half of the season.
      “What made this division harder were the three teams that came down.
      “Leeds, Leicester and Southampton are all huge clubs who were established in the Premier League.
      “And so many more younger coaches have been recruited this season. The game has become far more of a tactical challenge than even a year ago.
      “So for us to be at this end of the table a year in, we’ve done a lot of good work. There has to be something tangible at the end of it — that is what we’ve been working towards.”

      Tried-and-trusted managers like Neil Warnock and Steve Bruce have not yet been called in to ­rescue a team .
      But Birmingham this week opted to replace Rooney with Tony Mowbray, 60, who was bizarrely sacked by Sunderland last month despite challenging for promotion.
      Rosenior added: “It’s a choice for every club and it’s not always down to age.
      “Tony did an excellent job at Sunderland and he has gone into Birmingham. It’s just what clubs are looking for.
      “The league’s tactical level has gone up. Teams are changing their system, changing their press and how they build.
      “The style of football is a lot more possession-based.”
      While the Championship is ruthless when it comes to longevity of managers, Rosenior is confident Hull owner Acun Ilicali has his back.
      The businessman — known as the Turkish Simon Cowell — has made no secret of his desire to take Hull back into the Premier League.
      But Rosenior said: “This club has grown on and off the pitch.
      “We’re attracting outstanding players and that is credit to Acun and our vice chairman Tan Kesler.
      “They have worked hard to build a wonderful club back up. With the previous ownership there was not a great feeling around the club but that’s changed now.

      “When I walk around the city, everyone is excited about what’s happening.
      “That helps me in my job as manager so I just want to see it through and get this club back to where it was in previous years.”

      Championship strugglers resort to showing Soccer Saturday in stands DURING game as fans say ‘We’re a hard watch but…’

      But it’s more unusual for fans to be able to watch along while sat in the stands.
      That’s exactly what QPR fans have been able to do, however.
      The R’s have struggled this season and sit 23rd in the Championship under Marti Cifuentes.
      Last Saturday they turned their attention towards the FA Cup, hosting Premier League Bournemouth at the Loft.

      QPR surprisingly found themselves 2-0 up at half-time courtesy of goals by Sinclair Armstrong and Lyndon Dykes.
      But it all went wrong in the second half, with Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Justin Kluivert efforts turning the game around.
      After Bournemouth’s 3-2 win it emerged on social media that Soccer Saturday was playing on tellies in the stand.
      Responding to the image, one QPR fan wrote: “I know we’re a hard watch this season but I’m not a fan of this at all.”

      Five Championship stars destined for the Premier League including ex-Arsenal star and winger dreaming of Ballon d’Or

      by

      HAYDEN HACKNEY’S winner against Chelsea last night made it a night to remember for Middlesbrough at the Riverside.The 21-year-old Boro kid has been superb since breaking into the team last season after a year on loan at Scunthorpe.

      He didn’t get much of a look-in under Chris Wilder but Michael Carrick has certainly shown plenty of belief in him and he certainly showed how good he is by shining in midfield against one of the Premier League’s marquee clubs.
      Manchester United and Tottenham are said to be ready to pounce for the youngster although anyone wanting him will almost certainly have to wait for the summer.
      During transfer windows, Premier League clubs are always being linked with players from overseas but here are FIVE other Championship players that really should be a target for top clubs.
      Jobe Bellingham (Sunderland)
      Jobe Bellingham has starred for Sunderland since signing in the summerCredit: Getty
      I’ve enjoyed watching the 19-year-old midfielder who is two years younger than his famous and illustrious brother Jude.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Wanting to write his own football story — and not simply be known as the brother of a Real Madrid and England international — the Sunderland kid insisted he wanted the name Jobe on the back of his shirt rather than Bellingham.
      Has a lot of similar attributes to his brother in terms of his physique and maturity. 
      Thought he was outstanding away at Leicester when the Black Cats gave the runaway Championship leaders a tough evening.
      A huge chunk of Bellingham’s minutes have come as a false nine, though he’s also been used behind a more traditional striker and in a deeper midfield position.

      Conor Chaplin (Ipswich)

      Ipswich simply cannot function as well as they have been this season without him.
      His eight goals don’t tell the story. His pressing is out of this world. His blocks, interceptions and ball recovery has played a huge part in Ipswich’s success story this season. 
      I’ve watched him a number of times and he’s been one of the standout players. He was outstanding down at Southampton in October and he pops up with vital goals like the winner I saw him net at QPR.
      It’s crazy to think this talent has been overlooked by bigger clubs. Thought he was great when he was at Barnsley too. Was huge for the Tykes during his two years there.
      The high press McKenna likes is not as effective without Chaplin — and without his energy up top I feel Ipswich would be a mid-table team. He has been that good for them.

      The 23-year-old left-back has been Ipswich’s best player and the Geordie practically owns the left side of the pitch for the Tractor Boys.
      Has nine assists so far this season and is simply scintillating. 
      I was at Elland Road, though, when he had a tough afternoon against his former club Leeds when his side were walloped 4-0.
      However, that was just a bad day at the office. Although he is a full-back, his attacking numbers are higher than most wingers.
      If Ipswich don’t go up, he will surely be in the Premier League next season.

      The Foxes are winning the Championship at a canter and one of their star players has been without question the 25-year-old winger who came through the youth system at Arsenal — but ended up going to Juventus and Montpelier to really learn his trade. 
      Did have some EFL experience with loans at Charlton and Preston as well.
      Lots of pace and up near the top of the assists charts, he has been tearing it up in English football’s second tier and does look a cut above many of his opponents.
      Knows where the goal is too — and has nine to his name already this season, including a nice one I saw him score against Southampton at St Mary’s where he ripped them to shreds in an easy 4-1 win.
      With the Foxes flying though, you would think they should be able to keep hold of him as their promotion to the Premier League is all but guaranteed.

      Interviewed the winger a couple of months ago and he told me his ambition is to win the Ballon d’Or. 
      What a bold statement. But I like that from a 21-year-old — lots of confidence but also prepared to work hard to reach his goal.
      Ok, he is millions or miles away from that as a Hull player right now — but has has been previously linked with moves to Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. 
      Philogene came through the ranks at Aston Villa and many people thought he was going to get a look-in this season — but Unai Emery decided to let him move down into the Championship with Hull.
      But in Liam Rosenior he has a manager who has shown a lot of faith in him and who is giving him lots of game time to develop.

      I was impressed by his tricky skills and lots of pace when I saw him away at Birmingham — and he scored the decisive second goal.
      He did get injured recently but up to that point he has been key to Hull’s strong start to the season. More

      He returned to Merseyside at the end of December amid speculation of another loan.
      Several Championship clubs were linked with him including Leicester, Leeds and Southampton.
      But he has opted to join Liam Rosenior’s side until the end of the season – with Hull seventh in the Championship table, just one point adrift of the play-off places.
      And the unveiling of Carvalho left social media in stitches.

      Hull put together a photo-shopped version of the famous TV programme “Blind Date” which was hosted by Cilla Black.
      The premise of the show was that one person would ask three potential dates a series of questions without seeing them, before eventually choosing one to go out with.
      The edited clip saw Cilla with a Liverpool crest on her head, Carvalho mocked up as the woman choosing the date, and a Hull badge on the person she chose.
      It also contained Leeds and Southampton badges for the two people who had been snubbed by the woman.

      And at the end of the video, Cilla even says: “How could you turn down Pat?,” as the image of Leeds striker Patrick Bamford storms off set.
      The caption for the post read: “‘His name is Fabio and he’s from Portugal.’
      “‘Come in, Fabio!’ 👋”
      Reacting to the clip, one person said: “Funniest announcement i think I’ve ever seen😂😂😂.”
      Another added: “Content!! This is legendary.”
      A third replied: “This really is wholesome content. You’ve got to be happy with this.”
      While a fourth responded: “As an Ipswich supporter, this is nearing genius… 😂😂fair play lads.” More
