So that's pretty much every manager suggested then:lolol:

Wouldn't it be easier to start a "who's safe?" thread? I will start with RAFA BENITEZ.

Arsene Wenger.

Yeah good one. Let's have a list of all the Prem managers who are totally safe. I bet we wouldn't get more than 5.

RAFA
MARTIN
ARSENE

Any more?
Pardew?

Adrian Boothroyd maybe ??? Did excellent with in taking Watford up, can't see them sacking him even when they go back down.

City fans LOVED David James, and in him, Distin and Dunne they had a settled defensive core. The Distin rumours never stop, so I'm expecting a leaky defence.

I'm not seeing too many teams worse than City at the minute.

Maybe REDKRAPP? Although if they get off to a bad start we don't know how their new onwer will react.

Yeah, James was solid for them. But Isaksson is better.

Distin will go I think, but they still have Dunne and with Trabelsi in at right back Micah Richards could slot in at centre back, so the defence still looks alright to me, especially with Hamman in front, he is a magnificent holding player. Barton and Dabo give them good midfield options with him.

I think they'll be alright. Sheffield United are CERTS for relegation, I think Portsmouth could be down there, Villa need to move quickly, I don't much fancy Middlesborough, Bolton, or Fulham either. Newcastle may struggle as Ameobi still seems to be the only striker at the club (and they appointed Roeder). Charlton could go either way.

I get comps for all the matches at the Blue Camp, and the locals are NOT happy with their season coming up.

Fair enough, a month or so ago I probably would've agreed. Their season ended badly and Stuart Pearce still has a lot to prove, but I think they've done decent business over the summer. They've got rid of a lot of dead wood, the only player they've lost they might like to have kept is James (and possibly Distin) but they've brought in a decent standard. As I said Hamman, Dabo, Trabelsi, will all be good signings, and they've secured the futures of Barton and Richards. The jury is out on Corradi and Dickov, but I can't see them being relegated.

Spot on. [Roeder] did nothing special at Newcastle, it wasn't hard to improve on Souness. Honeymoon period will be OVER and he'll be OUT before January.

I can't wait to see that horrible club's vile chairman and their thick-as-shite fans stick the knife into another manager. And then go on to win f*** all. Again.

Have I mentioned before that I hate Newcastle United with a passion?
