2020/21 Sack Race

OK, let's get the new season off to a positive start... Whom will be the weakest link and succumb to pressure or be shown the door first?

I'm going to open with Bielsa of Leeds or Mourinho.

Mourinho by Christmas.

I'd be very, very surprised if Bielsa went anywhere, regardless of performance in the PL.

2019/20? I'm going for Gracia

2020/21, I can see someone like Steve Bruce going early if Newcastle disappoint, expectations will be odd there following the collapse of the takeover.

Steve Bruce is a good shout, but my favourite is the Villa manager Dean Smith.

Moyes

If we are doing that bad Bielsa would walk. We'd never sack him.

Steve Bruce for me too

Yas786 · 31 Aug 2020 at 21:51

Mourinho for me...

ozzaman · 31 Aug 2020 at 22:08

Koeman

Lampard. Lot of money spent I think he will come unstuck.

wildman · 1 Sep 2020 at 12:12

Moyes

West Ham will be relegation fodder this season if they keep him

Flaevius · 1 Sep 2020 at 12:43

One of two for me:

1. Steve Bruce. Finished same position as Benitez's final season, yet whilst Benitez is feted, the reception to Bruce is lukewarm. It won't change as he isn't accepted. If he gets off to a bad start, it will be early pressure.

2. Brendan Rodgers. I think Leicester will tank this year and allied to the dramatic drop in performance in the second half of last campaign, we may see an early shock departure.

Solskjær will be the first to go.

He won't make the necessary transfers United need to push on, they will start badly and he will be gone.

Bruce and Moyes are good shouts but those clubs have low expectations to begin with, so can see them sticking around even if they tank the start of the season.

Bruce or Moyes. Probably both at the same time and they'll just do a job swap.

Father Ted · 10 Sep 2020 at 15:34

I've got a feeling Palace will get off to a poor start, Hodsgon will be gone well before Christams

Bickaxe · 10 Sep 2020 at 15:52

Hodgson or Dean Smith

mmj_uk · 10 Sep 2020 at 20:57

Scott Parker at Fulham.

As a Spurs fan, I think Mourinho has to be given a decent chance, and from what I have watched of 'All or Nothing,' on Amazon I think he comes across well.

As or the sack race, I'll go for Brendan Rodgers based on Leicester's catastrophic loss of form from Xmas onwards.

I think Solskjaer will go this season but United will let it drag on so I doubt he'll be first. I'm going for Moyes then Hodgson.

Definitely not Bielsa.
