This season five managers have been relieved of their duties already which is one more than the entire 2021 campaign.
Unsurprisingly trigger happy Watford were the first team to part ways with their manager. Isco was in charge for less than 10 months and was 14th in the premier league when he departed. To be fair to the Spaniard the overhaul in the summer not the most conducive to a smooth start. They lost mainstays like Deeney, Chalibar and will hughes while spending a pretty miserly 11 million pounds net on 12 new players.
However, after he was sacked no top flight sides came in for Munoz and he's now at Segunda outfit huesca where he's winless in three games.
I think that's pretty telling of all the sackings that the Pozzo's have made, this has probably ruffled the least amount of feathers. Although raniere has only won one in his first four and he's conceded ten goals still i'm creeping towards justified what for fans.
Steve Bruce was sacked in late october after a winless start to the campaign left them in 19th place in the premier league. Imagine if they get relegated. Now they've got all the money in the world. Saudi Arabia are promoting their shiny new airline to stokes away fans. Even if Bruce had made a reasonable start to the season, there's every chance the new regime would have locked him anyway with his brand of football deeply unpopular at sent James's park.
The 60 year old Englishman insists that his only remit was to keep the club up and that he did finishing 13th and 12th respectively. He said a few times that he did it with a limited budget but he did spend 68 million pounds in his first two seasons. Rafael Benitez by comparison actually made 2.4 million pounds in the two seasons prior and the spaniard put together a much tighter defense conceding 25 fewer goals over the same amount of campaigns.
To be honest, i'm happy for Bruce that he's out because the abuse that he was suffering, it was just getting too much wasn't it was vitriolic. As a result he said that it's taken too much of a toll on his wife and that's probably him done as a manager. You know what take the 8 million pound compensation Bruce and go on the holiday of a lifetime.
Nuno's tottenham just as boring as Bruce's Newcastle. Luna espirito santo awarded manager of the month in August and then sacked 52 days later, brutal. Almost as brutal as his style of play. Before he got the chop tottenham hadn't had a shot on target in two hours and 16 minutes.
He's a manager whose entire ethos is about reacting to the opposition. The players that thrived pressing and controlling games under Maurizio Pochettino were never going to take that into their hearts were they. For example, Harry Kane is currently averaging 2.1 shots per 90. The lowest of his Spurs career. Honestly, if a person's body language has ever screamed sack my manager, it was his.
Daniel Fark
After four and a half years in the job in east anglia, he was sacked after securing Norwich's first win of the premier league season. Feels quite mean-spirited but still even with that victory in mind, he'd only accrued five points from the opening 11 games. The losses weren't closely fought encounters either the canaries were shipping 2.4 goals per game while only scoring 0.45 in this period.
Deserves his props on a championship level. So, secured promotion for them twice actually winning it twice right and only losing 13 times in that league while doing so.
This is the time of year when clubs that are in trouble want to turn their situation around by changing their manager.
