Sometimes it is one you don't think about and I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger quit

And Fergie. He could have a joint retirement party with Scholes and Giggs.

Pardew is good friends with Mike Ashley so I think he could weather a bit of a storm.

Plus he's on a five year contract. Can't see Ashley wanting to pay that off.

Big Sam for me after a wobbly start to make way for an emotional return for Arry.

Bolton will start slow and give Coyle the early boot.

Westley must be a cert in League One at Preston after an uninspired finish to last season and too many changes during the summer.

Waddock at Wycombe won't have long either after relegation last season. No sign of an immediate return after ten or so games and he'll be a goner.

But Ashley won't have to pay anything off, the contract states that he can be sacked without compensation. That's precisely why I think it's not a bad bet. Ashley makes some capricious decisions and sacking Pardew could be one of them
