    The bookies have Adkins as the favourite but I honestly believe that Saints will stick with him... he's performed miracles to get them up this quickly!

    I fancy Hughes will be the first to go - QPR simply cannot win and it's not like they have any excuses... the players are simply not performing under Mark Hughes...

    If QPR do give Welsh-boy the bullet, who would replace him?

    I can't think of anyone who would be an improvement who is currently unemployed? :confused:

    Hughes unfortunnately. I was hoping Rodgers as that is where I put my money but Hughes and MON seem determined to rob me!

    Martin O'Neill won't be getting the sack... good thing too!

    He's doing an excellent job! <laugh>

    I think Mark Hughes will be the first to go, no idea at present who they will bring in, we know Harry Redknap distanced himself from the rumour a couple of weeks ago, who knows perhaps QPR will look overseas for a replacement. I was surprised when QPR sacked Warnock, who is also hitting a sticky run at Leeds after a good start.
    Not expecting Warnock to get the sack, (yet), that could well be Darren Ferguson, first to go in the Championship.

    Swings and roundabouts in football management, some clubs should have revolving doors! <whistle>

    Hughes the money he's spent and still QPR cant buy a win.
    Poor Adkins not given much funds but the fans are sticking with him.

    I think Harry is a shoe in given he will only work in the south now. He may be being respectful to Hughes at present but he would back himself to get that squad out of trouble. His property development company in the south, his luxury south coast home, it all looks set for a Xmas return for me.

    I've a feeling QPR may be 'done' spending, they'll have to pay off Mark Hughes, and Harry does like to spend other peoples money, but, we'll have to wait and see<ok>

    If we're all wrong about Mark Hughes, I think there are clearly things going on behind the scenes at Man. City, perhaps it will be Mancini!

    Aye but I think he might walk! Something isn't right there is it.

    It said on tv, he's not giving press interviews, the pundits have actually been assessing his body language.....:emoticon-0112-wonde What's all that about then?

    Harry may hold out for City..:biggrin:

    I honestly think Jose M is going there at end of the season. Loves money to spend, loves England and would relish the opportunity of a city rivalry with SAF.

    Crikey, forgot about him, must be the anticipation of our game today.
    Personally though, I think a lot would like to see him at Man Utd., the more sensible would like to see Moyes there.
    I am a fan of Jose M by the way, but he is becoming even more eccentric as of late, I do like that in a Manager though, Di Canneo is also one of my favourites...<ok>

    Di Canio is great fun. Some of his beliefs are slightly questionable but that may have just been him being overly emotional to pander to the roman fans! Doing a fine job. Certainly unorthodox but seems to get a tune out of players. Looks set for bigger things at some stage. I've always said Moyes or Jose for Man U but I'm not sure they play the right brand of attacking football. It'll be a horrible job to follow! SAF can have a bad run but the fans just keep the faith. It'll be different when they don't have the comfort of knowing the manager will turn it around! Time to get into town for a pint me thinks! Mon the lads!!!

    My friend put a quid on noone getting sacked this season at 100/1, it is down to 25/1 now apparently.

    Think Saints may panic and get rid of Adkins. They've actually spent loads of money over the summer and could be in some doo doo if they go down. Same could be said for QPR though.

    Don't think he's got much chance of picking up.

    I'd have to pick Mark Hughes, he's a terrible manager.

    I think Peterborough United will stick with young Fergie - I think Posh have realised they have found their level, changing the manager won't improve matters.

    You're probably right Bespoke, Posh seem to have a sort of love hate relationship with young Fergie, I guess as outsiders we're looking at who doesn't seem to be doing well, or who is out of favour as we know, no matter how much fans like a manager, they can be ousted.

    Southampton seem to be standing by 'Their Man' though.<ok>
