Soccer: Premiership Sack Race
As much as I dont like to discuss people being given the
boot, once again punters are eying the demise of certain Premiership
managers. There are managers that it could be said are'safe',
but there are those that, if a few results dont go their way,
may be looking over their shoulders.
After all, Premiership chairmen dont hold alot of patience
these days, and they soon get itchy when the home loss comes
in a little bit too often. Looking at the table, Man City
do stand out at some value. The departure of Shaun Wright
Phillips does spell a bit of danger for Man City this season.
Remember, they did finish an impressive eighth in the league,
but this was mainly due to the performances of Anelka (now
gone) and Wright Phillips. Who is going to bag 20 goals a
season? Robbie Fowler looks a little passed it to be able
to compete at Premiership standards now, and there is little
left up front for the Citizens.
At the time of writing, I haven't seen any big money signings brought in, to
fill the gaps that these two influential players have left. And without
them, who is going to score the goals?
Of course, lets not forget their massive debts of £68
million, and so bolstering the squad is just not something
they can do. If there's no money to spend, I can see a long
hard season for the men in blue.
If we go by this, current manager Stuart Pearce may be
worthy of the first to be given the boot. He has done an
excellent job so far, and had a great run at the end of last
season, but in reality without the money behind him, these
days teams struggle.
Pearce is 14/1 for the first Premiership manager
to lose his job and there is some definite value in the 10/1
call for City to finish in the bottom three - that may look
a big price come Christmas.
Recommendation: Man City to be relegated next
season @ 10/1
