Another Championship manager 'on the brink' as Coventry City set to unveil Frank Lampard
Tim Walter is walking a tightrope at Hull City following last night's home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday as the Championship carousel of managerial changes shows no signs of slowing down.
Walter was appointed to replace Liam Rosenior in the summer after Hull missed out on the play-offs but they currently sit 22nd ahead of an away day at Middlesbrough this weekend. Walters "was booed and jeered" throughout a 2-0 loss to Wednesday and his future is top of the agenda when owner Acun Ilicali chairs a board meeting today.
HullLive report: "Ilicali has been staunch in his support for Walter in recent weeks, telling Hull Live during the international break that he backed the former Hamburg chief to turn things around, while he doubled down on that support ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Owls.

"The manner of the performance against Wednesday, who scored twice through Josh Windass and Michael Smith, coupled with the growing level of anger from the terraces, has boxed Ilicali into a position he didn't want to be in, but ultimately has been left with little alternative but to make a change."
Coventry City, meanwhile, are now expected to make Frank Lampard their new boss, replacing long-serving Mark Robins.
It is claimed that he could be unveiled as soon as today and will be joined by former Millwall manager Joe Edwards, who had worked alongside Lampard at Chelsea and Everton.
Omer Riza remains only in interim charge at Cardiff City, having taken over the reins from Erol Bulut in September. He has taken 15 points from his 10 games in charge and is now long odds-on to get the role on a permanent basis, having met with owner Vincent Tan in Malaysia during the international break.
Riza said last week: “For me, it was really important we met face to face. We’ve spoken a lot on the phone. It was important for me he asked me to go over there. It wasn’t easy [in terms of travel], but we’ve done it. The conversations were very respectful and honest. I’m glad I went.
"I got there on Thursday, then met on Friday, had a good chat, really intriguing, and it’s great to see what Mr. Tan has achieved in the course of his lifetime."
Meanwhile, Carlos Corberan insists he is “completely focused” on his work with West Bromwich Albion and branded links to the Leicester City job as “speculation”.
Asked about links to the vacancy at the King Power Stadium, Corberan told the Express and Star: “I can only say how focused I am at West Bromwich, how proud I feel to be the coach of this amazing club. I understand that football always has speculation around, but I didn’t even know that Leicester’s coach was sacked, for example, until last night (Monday). There is so much speculation that can appear out of my control.
“I am completely focused in my work, my club, to get better form, to give fans better results. Hopefully our fans don’t feel any type of lack of respect because there are always things in the media we cannot control.”
Stoke host Coventry at the bet365 Stadium on December 14 while they face a trip to Coventry on March 8 and are at Hull on February 1.
