What’s in The Football League Paper: 24/12/23

We wrap up a hectic week of managerial comings and goings, including Steven Schumacher grasping the reins at Stoke, in The Football League Paper on Christmas Eve.

Another one of those comings and goings, Michael Beale’s arrival at Sunderland, is the subject of our resident expert Chris Dunlavy‘s column, as he explains why the former Rangers manager starts life in his new role on the back foot.

Defender Jimmy Dunne discusses QPR’s upturn in the Championship under Marti Cifuentes – and avoiding his postman’s wrath – in our Big Interview.

And we put young Southampton winger Samuel Edozie under the spotlight in our Player Profile.

From League One, Northampton loan keeper Max Thompson explains how he takes inspiration from his Newcastle teammate Nick Pope, and in League Two Walsall loan striker Freddie Draper aims for a bumper haul.

And finally, we dish out our Christmas gifts to the EFL’s finest!
