Which manager will leave their post "by mutual consent" first?

Simply put your name next to the team/manager below.

(Even if your first choice has been taken you can still vote in the poll above)

It only took 2 minutes for blah to nab odds on favourite Steve Bruce. Won't take Ashley much longer to sack him. I'm going big (in 2 senses at least)

There seem a surprising number of managers who look pretty secure going into this season. No doubt some of them will lose three matches in a row and quickly forfeit that status, but there appear fewer obvious candidates than usual to be first out of the door.

Interesting as I see 10 who could easily not see the season out.

But 6 of those ten are the first six Newcastle managers.

Well, there’s probably 16 or 17 who could easily not see the season out... just not too many that really shout out that they won’t be there by the time the clocks go back!

Think I saw on Twitter yesterday was Poch’s 200th game in charge. Only the 11th manager in Prem history to manage that (at the same club).

Was really surprised initially, then thought about it and it equates to over 5 seasons; but still slightly surprised that in 25+ years only 11 have managed it.

Wenger
Fergie
Redknapp (whu)
Moyes (eve)
Allardyce (Bol)
Raffa (liv)
Curbishley (cha)
Joe kinnear (wim)

Jose at Chelsea perhaps (but not sure if that 200 games is for a single stint)

Poch

Not sure who the other(s) are.
