Meanwhile in the past week Bristol City appointed Derek McInnes as their new manager. McInnes was linked with the Cardiff job in the summer.
There was no fairytale start though as former Bluebird Chris Burke scored twice for Birmingham City in a 2 nil win at Ashton Gate on Sunday.
Tonight Brighton entertain West Ham.
