Doubt any of them would want it to change either.

Can't think of any other jobs where if you get sacked for being useless you get a massive payout.

Dont know how it is in England but over here bank directors and CEOs in big companies get massive payouts when they **** off.

I reckon Hassenhuttl is on thin ice, and Bielsa will likely ship out at the end of the coming season.

I'm amazed Watford haven't sacked Xisco Munoz, have they ever been as high as 15th for manager tenure?

Give it about 6 weeks of the new season and he’ll be gone if they have a poor start.

Watford actually let Javi Gracia keep his job for just over 18 months, he was 10th in the PL list when sacked.

I realise Steve Cooper replaced GP at Swansea so Graham remains the nth longest serving manager in English (and Welsh) professional football.
But never the less he has now departed, probably preparing himself to take over from Patrick Vieira in October.

I'm not sure Palace would be happy to go several weeks without a manager, just to wait for Cooper to finish his holiday...

I was really impressed with his tactical nous after their friendly with Walsall: "We need to get the ball to our danger men". Firstly, it's "danger man", secondly, duh

More likely he just discovered what a crap club it is. Feel bad for the Swansea fans, things will be very dark for them until they get new owners.

Amazing really that he's been in the job for 3 1/4 years and is already getting a home tie in the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League

2 and a quarter years, although the average job expectancy for a manager in England less than 18 months so he’s already above average.

Potter is now 22nd in the list following the sackings of Farke and Smith and also now sits in 9th in the PL.

Blades fan Neil Warnock being considered to return to Bramall Lane take over from Slavisa Jokanovic at Sheffield United.

I'm not too sure how I would feel about that if I were a Blades fan.

I find it quite amazing that (according to wikipedia), only 15 of the 92 managers have been in post for more than 3 years.

There are 14 who have been in post for less than a month!

Clubs must be spending a lot of money sacking managers....

Brendon Rodgers name crops up whenever a managerial vacancy comes along. This morning he's number one as the next manager to be sacked according to 5Live.
