•

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by the former Cardiff City boss Omer Riza to reflect on all of the big stories from the weekend's EFL action! It's the international break so Omer gives his verdict on which Championship sides have impressed him early in the campaign. We look back on this weekend's League One and League Two action and question if Robbie Savage is ready to step up to management in the EFL as he's strongly linked with the vacant Peterborough United job. Graham Alexander takes the reins at Preston North End after leaving Bradford City, George Hodgson from the 'Preston North End Weekly' Podcast joins us to discuss his potential impact at the club. We're also joined by Football Finance Expert Kieran Maguire as we assess the EFL's current financial picture and discuss how the current news surrounding Manchester City could impact the EFL.
