west ham fans will not tolerate a moderate start to the season - they are full of themselveswalking straight back into the Premisership.................................
McCarthy for me. Sunderland need to be in the top six at least. A win against Crewe, a defeat against Coventry and a draw against QPR is not good enough with that expectation. I also happen to think he's a shit manager
I can see Leicester having a shite season, and Adams will be on his way. The problem with Pardew is that he has actually got some decent players so will probably be a playoff side again and that will be enough to buy him one more season.
I expect the bookmakers know something about the contracts signed. If they are on short term (two years) or temporary contracts (Wise?) the pay off is less. Still Lewington seems to have been at Watford a long time by Manager's standards. But I do not see him going after the trouble they had getting a Manager in the first place.
What is it with Dario Gradi at Crewe? is he on the Board? Can't he sack himself at 66-1 ? He must be getting tired of it all by now? (not another relegation battle!)
