Who is the trigger happiest chairman, Moyes could be in trouble
I agree WMB . . .it'll be trigger happy panic monkey boards not Manager quality that dictates firings . . . Dyche and Pottinker are safe for the forseable.
Parker, Billic, Moyes probably top contenders. WIlder/Woy outsiders

and who is available or poachable to get in to a Premiership side?
Curbishley?
Moyes looks pretty safe to me - he wasn't sacked last season when they skated very close to the drop. They look comfortble mid-table this time round.
The most trigger-happy chairman is surely Abramovitch. He sacked a manager after he'd won the CL so no-one's safe there. So, if I had money on it, my bet would be Fat Frank (with Parker as second choice)
Dyche and Wilder have loads of credit in the bank, Bilic has some for getting WBA up and Bruce has probably done just enough.

Has there ever been a Premier League season when no one has been sacked before Christmas? - This could be the season.
Unless it's Parker I can't see any other possibilities.
Maybe Hodgson if Palace go on a terrible winless run and are also lacking creativity, but I would expect them the stick with Roy due to past performance.

Lampard could be a good call if he can't turn all these draws into wins having spent an absolute fortune, but the fact Chelsea fans and Roman Abramovich love and believe in him suggests he'd have to put them into the bottom three and Champions League elimination in the group stage before he's booted out.
Oddly, the ones most who ought to be most at risk have credit in the bank and/or an affinity with the club that buys them time in the eyes of supporters: Lampard, Parker (just got promoted), Wilder (outstanding for 3 or 4 seasons and a club man), Dyche, Hodgson (club man) etc
So I think we'll have to wait longer than usual. Wait until it all goes wrong in North or East London - it won't take much to go wrong for Mourinho or Moyes to get the bullet. Nor Steve Bruce for that matter. He ought to fall into the "club man" category but doesn't because he also managed Sunderland and wasn't a popular choice to start with.
The thing with Mourinho is that although most people think he's yesterday's man. the fact remains he has done it all at the highest level for 2 decades. The suspicion might always be that he could do it again with a bit of time, and that might save him even if results go badly.
On balance, I'll go for Moyes or Bruce but maybe in a month or so assuming it all turns to shit.

No votes for Wènger? What's he done in the last two or three years? Nothing!

Would think that Burnley will stick with Dyche but if Fulham beat Palace on Saturday what price Hodgson staying charge ? After Fulham Palace are again away at Molineux. Someone will get fired,but who ?
None of the above in my opinion. Sean Dyche IS Burnley and without him they will probably go down, his style of football may be aggresive, dour and ultra defensive, but he is playing to their strengths.
I think that Fulham have made two astute loan signings in Loftus Cheek and particularly Lookman, and l expect them to start winning a few games soon, so Scotty Parker should survive for now.
That just leaves Woy, who is a wily old campaigner, and someone that l find impossible to dislike. Palarse will probably finish above us in the table again this season.
My tips for the first to go? either Slaven Bilic at the other Albion, out of their depth in this division l think, and this season's Norwich, or maybe Solskjaer at Man U who are woefully under performing.

If results don’t start turning around what our own GP. I know Bloom has backed him with a possibly premature long contract, ultimately TB knows relegation will be a financial disaster. Four wins out of 23 league games isn’t that great and if it continues.....

Four wins out of 23 is worse than 'not great', it's disasterous! That said, this is a long term project,and even with relegation, l expect TB to back him.
I would stick with Potter even if we go down. And I bet the club feel the same way.
