It took the U's over two weeks to name Bloomfield as Gary Rowett's successor, and his appointment has raised a few eyebrows after leaving the Hatters 11th in League One, with his replacement Jack Wilshire lifting them into play-off contention."
"A bonkers, history-making FA Cup third round weekend may have concluded but the English Football League is sure to produce its own headlines. Two new Championship managers take the helm this weekend in Oxford's Matt Bloomfield and newbie Eric Ramsay of West Bromwich Albion, both with some heavy-hitting opponents to contend with as their welcoming party. Over in League One and League Two there are some spicy top-of-the-table showdowns to revel in,"
Two new Championship managers take charge: Matt Bloomfield at Oxford United and Eric Ramsay at West Bromwich Albion. Bloomfield arrives to steady an Oxford side that has spent much of the season near the bottom, following a more than two-week search to replace Gary Rowett. Bloomfield left Luton 11th in League One, with his replacement Jack Wilshire pushing them toward play-off contention. Ramsay, a former Manchester United coach, embarks on his first English football management role as West Brom host second-placed Middlesbrough. League One and League Two also feature important top-of-the-table clashes, and Shrewsbury face Harrogate amid disappointed fans.
