In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Vieira
Dyche or Graham Potter/ Daniel Farke.
If Arteta's stayed this long, I don't see why they'd sack him now.
Moyes
Farke I reckon.
He looked a real soft touch 2 years ago, and if they ship a few more poor results (City, Leicester and Arsenal in their next 3 games), it would be absolute madness for the Norwich owners to just sit by and watch the exact same thing happen again.

Well…guess the first marker I am looking at is this weekend against Brentford. Andersen, Gallagher, Milo and Benteke should all be fit to start so that’ll be a good test of where we’re at.
Yup I hope you're right, Palace are too good to be involved in a relegation scrap. Any links to other managers after Roy retired? Or was it just Vieira out of the blue?
Wasn't really the score line for me. It is the fact that, it was the first game of the season, new manager, you're away to one of the top clubs and a local rival, and you stand off. I would have expected Palace to be aggressive and not give Chelsea any space.
Vieira
We have a winner.
Watford. 
What a shock!
2 wins and a draw from their first 7 games isn’t bad at all. Seems a bit OTT but that’s Watford’s normal MO I guess
Ole wouldn't last 10 days at Watford...
Scrap that, Watford wouldn't offer Ole an interview.

Fecking Watford like. They are ridiculous. Nearly promoted, sitting in 14th after 7 games, 4 points clear of the relegation zone. What do they want? Mental!

What are they expecting!
What are they expecting!
Become the first manager to lose to Leeds and you get sacked.
They'll go through a few more managers before the season is done.
They know Conte is available.
To be fair if you sack your manager every week you 'new manager bounce' yourself to the title. Astute business by the Watford board.
Updated odds:
Bruce - 3/1
Nuno - 4/1
Farke - 6/1
Ole - 8/1
Arteta - 9/1
Viera - 12/1

They’re puddled Watford.
I think more people would’ve predicted them if they knew who their manager wasOle Gunnar Solskjaer's 'give me time, give me time' rhetoric wouldn't last 5 minutes at Watford. Forget odds of 8/1, 800/1 would be more appropriate.
I'll give you 1,000,000/1 on any of those.
What do you mean? Do you want to lose all your money?
None of them will be the "first manager to be sacked", which is this thread.
Give me all your money.
I obviously mean next manager sacked
I don't think you'd even get odds on Bruce being the second to go now.
That Sky Sports interview with snake eyes... she did everything short of sack him live on air.

Ranieri next. Surprised if he survives the international break.
Bruce is done for. He knows it, everyone does.
This
Bruce. And then they’ll try and poach Ole from us. Bloody oil money!
So you think he’d be LESS likely to be sacked there?
I’d love to see him given the money and given a chance but more than likely he’s gone. It’ll be all change behind the scenes now. Upgraded and updated everything. They’ll surely soon be hoovering up loads more talented British kids too.
It has to be Bruce with the oil money coming to Newcastle
Yeah would be nice to see him given a chance at least but you’re right I can’t see it happening. 95% of Newcastle fans want him out so in this case it would actually be an own goal for the new ownership to come in and not change the manager.
I wonder if they’ll go for experience and pedigree or someone a bit more fashionable like Gerrard.
Bruce will get until the next transfer window opens. No later. Surely.
City wasted a couple of years under Hughes, no need for Newcastle to do the same under Bruce
Imagine the pressure building if they lose the next couple of games though. They can’t let themselves get cut adrift before they even get the chance to spend some money.
It will be brilliant if they’re in a real relegation scrap.
