The Premier League sack race - Part 2
Every season, the Premier League see’s its fair share of casualties. These casualties involve both the players that are representing the clubs and/ or the managers.
After part one, here is a look at some more managers who could potentially, be on the verge of being shown the door.
DAVID MOYES - EVERTON
The most unlikeliest of managers on the list to get fired is David Moyes. The Everton manager, is currently having the worst start to a season with his team. The team has already lost to Newcastle in the league and was knocked out of the Carling cup at the
hands of, Brentford. The team is currently second from the bottom in the Premier Leagues table and that is simply unacceptable by the clubs fans.
Moyes, has however had such bad patches, over the last eight years that he has spent with the club. It is quite possibly only a matter of time, before the manager gets the team up and running again, but if he can’t control his squad any longer then, he might
as well call it quits on his own and save himself the humiliation of getting fired.
The manager is reported to have said: "You are always worried when you are not getting results and I've been worried for a long time."
The manager, doesn’t need to start panicking or worrying as yet. All he really needs to do is get his act together and try and stamp his authority on the team once again. If he can manage to start picking up win’s in the coming weeks, then his future at
the club is as good as confirmed.
ROBERTO MANCINI - MANCHESTER CITY
The only reason, Mancini is on the list, is because of the people who have employed him. The team is run by money spending Sheikhs, who are throwing around millions of pounds as thought it was loose change. They would at least expect a
decent showing from the team, that has so far been performing below its expected level. If the manager doesn’t get his act straight in the near future, then he could suffer the same fate that Mark Hughes did at the club, prior to his appointment.
The team is however currently fourth in the league, which is a solid position to be in, the Sheikh’s would be aware of the fact that if the team does better then what it was doing last season, then that is a definite improvement, even if it is by just one
position in the table.
The manager was reported to have said: "It will be after the next international break before you see the best of us, maybe one more month. I need the opportunity to work with all the players, which has not happened since the season began.
In the meantime it is important that we stay near the top and don't lose any more ground."
In order to save his job, the manager needs to try and keep the team in the top four. He also needs to put up a solid display against the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal. At the same time, he needs to get his new signings to perform at the level that they were
expected to, prior to being brought in. However if the manager can manage to outperform United, then it is safe to say that his job at the Eastlands is guaranteed for the immediate future.
