Which team/manager are going to part company first this year?

No poll this time. Just give us your guesses.

[85Carrera]

Moyes.

Unlikely. Sully would have to put his hand in his pocket.

[DocJock]

I know he just signed a new contract, but Ralf needs to watch out if Saints' last two performances are an example of what's to come this season.

Maureen

Ole

Slaven Bilic at WBA will probably be gone by Christmas. Scott Parker at Fulham too.

Seems like this may come true. Mad really, as we have a Championship squad and have little hope of competing at the top level. Reported replacements are Sam Allardyce, Nigel Pearson, Mark Hughes and Eddie Howe. Not sure any of these will be able to do much better.

Yep, it's crazy to get rid of him now when nobody else could do a better job. I thought you grafted out a good draw against City last night and Billic & the team deserve a lot of credit.

Can't go wrong with Big Sam, he's probably best qualified to keep you up, but the football will be terrible.

Pearson is my favourite ever manager, he's just amazing, but I think he needs his perfect backroom staff and team in order to get things right.

[danpalmer1993]

Kick in the teeth I imagine after last nights performance and certainly can't see Big Sam doing much better.

[ChocolateFrog]

They will take confidence from the City draw too so seems like madness to upset the apple cart.

They're only marginally underperforming really.

You can be sure Big Sam won't agree to take over WBA without the promise of a decent transfer budget for January, which would be even more of a kick in the teeth for Bilic.

Why do so many clubs go for these football dinosaurs ? I would be royally pissed off if my club went for one of them.
Big Sam has a bigger ego than his fat head and as you say the football is shocking.

You know what you're going to get.

Timing of the sacking doesn't look so good after an away draw with Man City.

I'm surprised Sheffield Utd haven't made a change yet. They are getting left behind. 1 point after 12 games is embarrassing.

Bizarre they have sacked him. Got them promoted, and now they are chasing the prem dream. No doubt they spend badly in Jan and get relegated anyway. Why not stick with him and build a squad to get promoted again and try and sustain their duration in the prem.

I think Sheff U understand last year was a strange season, and they are still a small club. Yes this year they should have done better, but they are looking long term and keeping Wilder in charge.

Big Sam appointed on an 18 month deal.

Nothing quite says ambition like "Big Sam" and "18 month deal".

It really is remarkable to remember he was once, briefly, the England manager.

That's about as far as our ambition goes.
