See title - does anyone know of a bar in Manchester, UK that would have the Michigan game on with preferably some fellow fans? Last minute work trip just got scheduled, so would really like a friendly face or two.

If you're in the UK, the best pub to go to is a little place in Oxford, about 260 km from where you are, called The Eagle and Child. Nobody famous has ever been there afaik, but it's definitely worth visiting.

The Eagle and Child is good I will grant you, but I personally prefer either The Bear Inn or the Turf Tavern. Yes, the Eagle and Child was Tolkien's pub of choice when meeting with his group the Inklings, but the Bear Inn is more quaint and I my imagination always ran wild just trying to comprehend that there were people at The Bear back in the 13th century getting bombed on pints just like today.  Of course for charm I think that the Turf Tavern has got both of those beat.

Any timeline on the coaching changes? Presuming at least a couple of the assistants move on. 

Ghostofgermainegonzales said if Brown leaves "DJD" is thought by many inside the program to be the next DC - any idea on the veracity of that? If that's DJ Durkin that seems like an absolute terrible move given what happened at Maryland and what type of person he was revealed to be.
