Don't think Martinez will last long if Wigan carry on their poor form of late.
Poll: **New** Annual Sack Race
- Thread starter JohnnyG
- Start date
Annual sack race init blud.
Not the Annual sack/might leave/pushed/walked out/died thread now is it?
Due to muppetry by a certain Don a new poll is needed, sorry to Lonewolf for screwing up his thread here

I've gone for Martinez myself, but I think Moyes could be on borrowed time. I think Benitez will be ok for now! Fully expect him to be replaced at the end of the current season. "The Special One" perhaps...

I think "the Special One" is just waiting for Fergie to leave, They've always been very respectful towards each other and I think that's where he will end up.
I think Liverpool should get Moyes if he does leave Everton ( I know it probably won't happen ) or they should try and get Laurent Blanc, I think he'd do very well, I mean there are lots of managers who would love to take over at a club like Liverpool.

theres no way liverpool will sack benitez as they cant afford to. We can only hope Madrid come in for him and he walks. But then which manager in their right mind would take over with those two numpties as owners...
It's a mess...

I would say benitez but as has been said, the club really can't afford to sack him. It might therefore be a while until we see our next departure but I reckon Martinez and Brown have to be the favourites (although I don't want Martinez to be sacked as he seems like a decent guy).

The original thread said "Just like the previous seasons I'll ask your opinions on who'll be the first Premier League manager to walk or be pushed during the coming season. Discuss." : http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18041277&highlight=sack+race
I voted Benitez, but I'm starting to tend more towards Allardyce. Liverpool are just about doing enough not to be completely terrible so far, whilst Blackburn are a lot closer to the relegation spots than I realised, and I don't get the impressions he's ever really caught on with the fans there.
Also worth bearing in mind is that the new chairman at Hull City (Pearson) was supposedly none too impressed with Brown's slightly extravagant methodologies when he took over, and whilst they've since been toned down, and some decent results have been obtained, they're still in 19th and not exactly setting anything alight.

Probably the strongest Chairman/Manager relationship in the league? Odd choice.

It's either them or Kenwright and Moyes at Everton, they're absolutely rock solid.Probably the strongest Chairman/Manager relationship in the league? Odd choice.

I didn't think Curbishley did too bad for you. Saved you from relegation and did a great job considering the constraints he was working under.
Yeah but the football was rubbish!
Not to mention some of his questionnable/expensive signings eg. Dyer/Ljunberg.

I think the problem was he was a bit like a kid in a sweet shop at West Ham, he was given a big pot of gold which he wasn't used to and probably thought it was worth taking a risk on a few players like that that had been around the block a few times and he would know quite well.
Still staggers me that they agreed to pay Ljungberg £6m to leave though, meaning that he had an effective salary of £200k/week during his time at the club.
