First weekend in the championship, and one casualty already. Huddersfield Town have parted company with manager Mark Robins after just one game of the Championship season. Who's gonna be first in the Prem? Big Sam at West Ham maybe, i'm gonna stick my neck out and say 'pearson at Leicester', for no other reason, than if they don't get of to a flyer, their Thai owner, will be this seasons version of that fruitcake at Cardiff last season. Maybe Bruce, if they flounder, after spending heavily.
4/5 Sam Allardyce 13/2 Paul Lambert 8/1 Alan Irvine 10/1 Alan Pardew 10/1 Harry Redknapp 12/1 Garry Monk As per W Hills Pearson 25/1 Bruce 40/1
First to depart, Pulis Monk Irvine Villa won't sack Lambert because they've already accepted what kind of season they'll have. Allardyce would've been sacked at the end of last season if they really wanted him gone. QPR and Redknapp are well suited. Monk, in my opinion, is a disaster and will be the first to be sacked. Pulis will 'fall out with the club' deliberately if he thinks he can get into Swansea, West Brom or Villa ..... he's a sly twat.
Monk and Irvine are the stand out candidates to me. Both managers of teams that I expect to really struggle this season.
Think Lambert will be gone after 10 games and Keane will be promoted to head coach If Swansea and West Brom get off to poor starts then Monk and Irving will be lambs to the slaughter. I hope Sean Dyche gets a fair crack at the premier league and Burnleys owners dont get trigger happy at the first sign of trouble.
Good shout mate, he doesn't look like his heart's in it. I reckon he's here for a pay off after which time he'll scurry back to Holland. He's never lasted more than a season outside of Holland and has a habit of following successful managers, like Trapattoni into clubs.
Keoman might not last, but I think he'll walk rather than get fired, there's a lot going on at that club yet to come out.
Whoever starts off ****. West ham could be in trouble in terms of having no striker, being forced to play attractive football or you'll be facing the sack. Honesty think it could be big Sam, which is a shame because I think he's done a good job at west ham
Big Sam. The porn twins are already making noises and putting pressure on. The face that none of us suggesting Gus means we are quietly confident of doing OK.
Irvine. Nailed on. The club have brought in players for him, not his choices. They're a sinking ship by the looks of it. We need to give em both barrels in a major broadside next weekend. Monk is likes poor man's Tim Sherwood. Next up. Or down, I should say. Then anyone from KoeKoe, Pearson, Lambert and ****face up the road. Maybe Fatface down the road, but he appears to have learnt how to better manage resources for now.
Also no one saying mark Hughes shoes he's a decent amanger. Despite most people slating him before taking the stoke jobs. At the right club he is OK.
Whatever the case, I can see more relegation candidates than last season ...... there has to be 10 imo. Who, of these, can feel safe at this stage of the season? Leicester Burnley QPR Swansea West Ham Southampton Palace West Brom Villa Hull
