    Bottom 3 after 8 games. It's a bit early to fire, but not unheard of in the modern game. People have no patience these days.

    And most of us thought the first to go would have been one of Rogers, Lampard or Gerrard.

    Out of those mentioned, In normal circumstances I could have seen any of them sacked. Reality of the situation looks like none of the clubs could afford to sack them other than Villa who have at time of writing this, had an upturn in form.

    I was thinking that aswell so I had a look at the league table and we’ll they have only scored 3 goals.

    But they have played some ok football what I have seen.

    I think it’s a bit early. But maybe they have Tuchel to come in.

    Wolves fans saying part of it was because he sold Coady.

    100% agree. Letting Coady leave Wolves is on par with Gerrard letting us have Targett - just nuts.

    Do we know what goes on at Newcastle? It's highly unlikely lage wanted him to go and more likley they had to sell a player to buy one...

    I am just repeating what the wolves fans where saying mate. Whether it’s right or wrong I couldn’t give two ****s.

    Reality is the premier league is a results industry.

    Good job Howe is getting them.

    It's getting more and more dull nonetheless.... I mean if it wasn't for our takeover what was really in it?

    It was becoming empty, no hope, no loyalties, nothing but a managerial merry go round and a cold dull seat.

    Newcastle are just the next lucky fan base to join the few.... There's too many other clubs with no hope and watching boring football all over the country.

    The premier league apart from Man City is very competitive but ultimately at the end of the season it will be the usual 6/7 occupying the same positions.

    The top teams can snuff out the rest as they have better everything.

    Look at Barca this season. They where in turmoil but they have done business (shady selling of future income) to keep up.

    FFP is a sham.

    But back on topic. I think Rodgers goes next if Leicester lose tonight.

    That would indicate it's only competitive for the same clubs every year, but yes of course FFP is just an obstacle designed to ensure that continues.

    I doubt Leicester lose tonight, but let's hope they do.... it'll be interesting seeing how the fans react .

    From what I've heard, the Leicester fans are starting to get a bit, erm, dissatisfied with the current form. If they lose tonight, which I also don't think they will, I think they might begin to get a little upset.

    I think he'd have been Bruce's replacement of Ashley didn't sell up.. He just seemed his type.
