HERE’S ALL the news surroundin­g managerial changes and transfer rumours in the latest League One round up...

Ipswich target former Premier League legend

Ipswich Town have approached ex-Chelsea manager Frank Lampard to become their new boss.

This comes after Paul Cook was sacked on Saturday night – leaving the Tractor Boys mid-table in League One.

The 43-year-old was close to joining arch rivals Norwic, but pulled out of the running at the last eleventh hour.

An Ipswich source told Football Insider that Lampard is the number one target to replace Cook.

The ambitious owners have approached the former Derby manager as they move to ascertain his interest in the post.

Football Insider also suggest former Chelsea defender John Terry is in conversati­on for the job as he eyes the thirdtier side as the perfect opportunit­y to kick-start his managerial career.

Terry has no management experience, but left Aston Villa in the summer following a threeyear spell as assistant to Dean Smith.

All Change at Plymouth

Ryan Lowe left highflying Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday after a two-and-a-half year stay to join Championsh­ip side Preston North End.

In a statement the club said that Lowe made it clear of his desire to move on.

He leaves Argyle sitting fourth in League One following a surprise start to the campaign, but he departs the Greens without a win in their past three league games.

The Devon side were quick to name a replacemen­t, with Lowe’s former assistant Steven Schumacher stepping up to take charge.

Motherwell defender on radar of League One side

The Daily Record are reporting that Motherwell defender Ricki Lamie is on the radar of a League One side.

The 28-year-old centre back has impressed so far this season and has been vital for Graeme Alexander's side, who sit fifth in the Scottish Premiershi­p.

Lamie is out of contract in the summer and Motherwell risk losing one of their prized assets for nothing, meaning a January deal may be likely.

He has spent his whole career in Scotland, with spells at Airdrieoni­ans and Livingston­e, before switching to the Steelmen in 2020.

An unnamed League

One side are reportedly in talks with the defender, with a January move on the cards.
