The sack race.

Every where you go 'Big Sam' is odds-on first to go,unless WHU have someone lined-up why ? http://www.paddypower.com/football/football-specials/manager-specials?ev_oc_grp_ids=747069

Because he came close to going in the last couple of months, and only stayed under certain conditions (had to hire an attacking coach, and promise to play more attractive football, top 10 finish). Such restrictions to a manager who has had (comparative) success with his own style aren't going to sit well if things don't work out well. It's already going to be difficult with Carroll and Jenkinson out injured, along with Demel (who if I'm reading it rightly would normally fill in for Jenkinson) and new signing valencia unlikely to be fit to start the season.
