Premiership Manager sack race 2012/13

[Member 39557]

The new season is almost upon us. Who do you think will be the first Manager to be shown the door?

Allardyce isn't the most popular figure at West Ham, a few bad results could see him under pressure?

Brendan Rodgers has replaced a hero, if he gets off to a bad start then he could find himself going the way of Hodgson.

AVB: Has he learnt from his Chelsea experience? Will his tactics and management style work better at Spurs?

Roberto Di Matteo: A lot of people think he's living on borrowed time until somebody better comes along. How much time will the CL victory buy him?

Steve Clarke

 

[Irwinwastheking]

DiMatteo is in the most danger IMO. The scouse fans have already taken to Rodgers and he's playing up to the victim mentality so he's safe.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Roberto Mancini if he doesnt stop arguing with Marwood.

 

[Decotron]

Big Sam first to go. Harry to return!

 

[Solius]

This made me imagine all the managers lined up ready to have an actual sack race.

I'd pay to see that. Let's arrange it for charity.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Mark Hughes

Same. Was looking for a photo that someone could photoshop, and came across this:

Who would actually win out of a real sack race?

Martinez for me, there's something about him that just tells me he's done this before.

 

[Member 39557]

Big Sam first to go. Harry to return!

Not a bad shout!

 

[Count Orduck]

Di Matteo by Christmas. Whether that's first or not, I'm not so sure.

 

[Count Orduck]

'Course, we're all ignoring the distinct possibility that AVB will repeat his disastrous spell at Chelsea with Spurs.

 

[stubie]

Wenger?

They sell Van Persie and start off shit maybe fan power will force the board to react.

 

[M'n'M]

DiMatteo is in the most danger IMO. The scouse fans have already taken to Rodgers and he's playing up to the victim mentality so he's safe.

WTF? Some people can't help themselves.

There is certainly a lot of pressure on DiMatteo now. I think he might struggle.

I think Steve Clarke will also struggle.

Rodgers is safe no matter what happens I think.

 

[EdWeatherall]

I'll stick with my pick of Sam Allardyce
They hate his football, they only tolerated whilst they were winning, they start to not win and they'll be on him straight away

 

[buckooo1978]

i think Di Matteo

Chelsea are going to struggle with only Torres and Sturridge up front

I have a feeling Norwich will get hit by second season syndrome bad - lambert was great for them and Chris Hughton has history of getting sacked early on

 

[Revan]

Di Matteo or Mancini.

 

[Minkaro]

I'd bet actual money on Mark Hughes to go first.

 

[Mighty Boosh]

Interested to see how Laudrup gets on, don't think he's a particularly good manager myself so he could be in trouble if Swansea don't get off to a decent start.

 

[a_devil_inside]

i'll go for an outsider and say Moyes, might not be sacked though

 

[marjen]

I'm not sure if it counts, but I'm quite sure Martin O'Neill has been expelled from the universe after spending the best part of £14 million on Steven Fletcher. A bald man from Scotland who's once or twice headed a ball into a goal.

 

[golden_blunder]

Martinez

Rodgers will get at least 2 years, barring relegation or mass racism

 

[Crustanoid]

Mancini if he isn't on course for 114 points by October

 

[ghaliboy]

WTF? Some people can't help themselves.

He has though. Submitting ludicrous dossiers. Making funny in-jokes about the players, YNWAing up a storm. He's locked in baby.

Di Matteo for sure. Any poor stretch of form and it's curtains.

 

[M'n'M]

He has though. Submitting ludicrous dossiers. Making funny in-jokes about the players, YNWAing up a storm. He's locked in baby.

Don't be a twat. How is submitting a dossier ie. preparing for an interview "playing up to the victim mentality"? And what does the rest of your shite even mean?

 

[SilentWitness]

Allardyce. The amount they have spent so far if they don't do fairly well then he's gone.

 

[Member 39557]

Hughes, Hughton and Rodgers are straight into the lead!

 

[1999united2008]

Hughton and Rodgers will be gone by 2013.

 

[mkecane]

Hughes spent a lot of money and got 0-5. Hughton spent little money and got 0-5. Hughes is the early leader.

 

[holyland red]

I think Steve Clarke will also struggle.

 

[Member 39557]

So, we're 10 games in. Anybody leading the race yet?

 

[Xander45]

Hughesy has to be top of the list, nobody else so far that I think is in any real danger.

 

[Orton]

I'll be shocked if it isn't Hughes. Big investment to the squad over the summer, and worse results. 10 games without a win is a shocking stat.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Hughes and probably McDermott too. There is only so long you can go without winning a game

 

[Ludens the Red]

Martin O'Neill?

 

[Bryan_Munich]

I think Mark Hughes will turn things around if Fernandes stays true to his word.

 

[Steven Seagull]

Hughes is a shite manager he should be the first to go. Hope the promoted teams stick with their managers a bit longer.

 

[Member 39557]

I'll be shocked if it isn't Hughes. Big investment to the squad over the summer, and worse results. 10 games without a win is a shocking stat.

The chairman has ben very supportive, but if he doesn't get a win soon then Hughes has to go doesn't he?

I think Adkins is on dodgy ground too.

 

[Member 39557]

Martin O'Neill?

That's a good shout too. Demba Ba is their second highest goalscorer.
