I think one sacking could cause a domino effect here. I think West Ham would have done it already If they thought they could get a decent manager in.

I expect Spurs, Newcastle and West Ham all to be interested in Iraola.

Palace seem to be sticking with Glasner, who to be fair is trying to unravel decades of shiete football.

O’niell - no idea what Wolves are persisting with, although he will coach them to 2 wins over us, they’ve turned into a bogey side.

Arteta should be under pressure at the end of the season if you finish third behind Liverpool and Chelsea- will be clear regression unless a trophy is won

Wolves need to beat Ipswich and Leicester, because after that their fixtures are:

Man Utd
Spurs
Forest
Newcastle
Chelsea
Arsenal
Villa
Liverpool...

Not sure how a manager at the bottom can survive that fixture list.

It is pretty unbelievable he has survived this long, maybe there is more to it (financial maybe). 3 wins in 25 since that collapse to Coventry. And they have some pretty decent players.

They have a good recent record over us, we absolutely hate playing them even when we’re flying

We came out this week backing GON, even a piece in the paper from the chairman. We are pretty much doomed unless they have a sudden rethink. A battering from Ipswich may help. Defensively we can't stop anyone as GON doesn't know how to set a defence up.

Wonder how long Pep has got if City don't start winning?

It is likely that there is some sort of subsidy offered to PL clubs for them to take on or keep English managers.

Once Dyche follows O'Neil out the door then there will only be Eddie Howe whilst Newcastle are still in their Mark Hughes stage of oil money cheating.

After that the only English managers with a chance would be Potter and Southgate.

You might get the odd Chris Wilder type getting a team promoted, but they will be straight back down again.

Will any English managers come out of the current crop of English players? Learning from world class foreign managers? Or they all too stupid?

Maybe Declan Rice or someone like that.

Anyway, it looks like the end for English manager in top level football.

Don't understand the Potter thing. His record even at Brighton was meh as feck. The next two managers have both outperformed him haven't they.

Ange would be a good bet. Southampton could easily be a poor result with the way we've been playing and that might be that.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder - don’t want wizard at my club

We play Wolves on Boxing day so their manager will probably get sacked the week before.
