Poll: 2021/22 Premier League Sack Race

[Lonewolf]

I was well off the mark last season suggesting Biesla, but there's plenty of fresh blood this season who must be ripe for the chop.

Who do you see as being the first casualty?

 

[Converge]

I’d probably go for Vieira by Christmas.

 

[Minusorange]

Arteta
Hasenhüttl
Xisco

 

[McBain]

Vieira has to be prime candidate.

 

[Josh]

Viera or Farke for me.

 

[Azza]

Vieira.


But hopefully it's Benitez.

 

[IronSpider]

Rafa. Going to enjoy seeing who lasts longer, Rafa at Everton or Ancelotti at Madrid.

 

[HangTime]

Xisco

 

[Tombstone]

My money is on Rafa, its honestly only going to take a few bad results for things to turn even more sour for him with factions in the supporters.

 

[Maundie]

Gotta be Rafa as I think the appointment doesn't take into account the absolute animosity and bitterness Everton have for anything tied to Liverpool, I just cannot see them taking to him at all.

After him I'm torn between Nuno or Vieira

Football fans are fickle. They would worship their biggest rivals manager if they came to their club and won them something.

*Serie a sack race.

Who else... but the sacked one.

Speak for yourself. I don't think many Liverpool fans would have taken Alex Ferguson at Liverpool even if he won them something.

Take a look at their forums and they are warming to him tbf

Like I said, football fans will do whatever mental gymnastics they require to justify their opinions. I mean it helps that plenty of fans are mental when it comes to their team so their "hatred" wasn't really based on anything solid anyway.

 

[Kenai]

I can see Hassenhuttel being an early casualty, even more so if Ings leaves rather than runs out his contract.

 

[ik9000]

Rafa's first challenge is navigating this suspension, police probe thing. Imagine walking into that minefield? And if it's one of your key players... Eek! Still at least he has time to go shopping for cover.

It could well be Farke tbh if they end-up the whipping boys like last time. Predicting a strong start as before collapsing after 5 games or so into oblivion. Delia never seems to invest enough for anything else, no depth to the squad.

Championship I know, but how do people rate Parker's chances at Bournemouth? They haven't exactly given the last few people very long at the helm since Howe left.

Nuno gone by xmas. Levy will basically have had enough of him by then especially as he is likely going to lose his star striker before the season starts and if it is for 100+ million i can't see levy giving nuno even half of that.

ooh good call. I'd forgotten he'd gone to spurs. Can Kane wrangle a move though, that is the question.

Levy reportedly green lighted Kane if he wants to leave, but I think in the next breath said asking price will be 160 million, so not sure if any Prem team will stump that up and the usual suspects Madrid and Barca are broke. So maybe Nuno will catch a break ?
