KYOON GRIFFEY JR: Apr 12, 2010; Runner-up, TRP Sack Race 2021/22

I think that after last year's enthralling total sack count we'll be stuck with six sackings and I'm backing Roy Hodgson to be first out

Bournemouth will bid farewell to Andoni Iraola first, and there will be 12 sackings in total

Wolves are the Monday night game so he could leave at the weekend and claim a sack race victory record

Coward managers ruining the sack race by signaling their intentions, it's not right

Imo any sacking that happens before the start of matchday 1 does not count as a sack race sacking as the race hasnt started yet.

Based on the rules I'm making up as I go along if Lopetegui leaves before the season starts then anyone who guessed him gets to pick again. If he lasts one game and then goes, congrats you're a winner. Do you dare take the chance

quoting this one for reference

if he does leave after the season starts but before the wolves game, is that a repick scenario

Any sackings after 8:00 on Friday are valid, any before then are repicks

Hopefully he reads this thread and will wait until Saturday

Edit: Gary O�Neil though, lmao

There should be a bonus sack race award for whoever correctly guesses which team smashes the Big Sam button

I like this and I'm picking West Ham.

Also, I was reviewing my first post and it seems my phone's autocorrect changed Lopetegui to Eddie Howe.

I like it, but with a slight twist.

If you can correctly guess one manager not currently working in the premier league (who isn't Gary O'Neil, at least have fun with it) who will get hired by a prem team this season you can also have a prize. The Big Sam Award for fire prevention. My choice is Christophe Galtier

I am predicting a return of Scott Parker

We will see the return of Jose Mourinho.

# ? Aug 8, 2023 13:19

Cpt. Mahatma Gandhi: Mar 26, 2005

Thomas Tuchel will return, probably to Spurs or something.

Bonus prediction: David Moyes will make a glorious return to Everton.

# ? Aug 8, 2023 13:33

Bumhead: Sep 26, 2022

David Moyes departure will open the door to Mark Noble spinning a paper bag of pears on that West Ham touchline.

David Wagner will mark his glorious return to the Premier League this year.

Major Operation: Jan 1, 2006

A hapless and increasingly erratic American ownership group at a club will make the call to Ole Gunnar Solskj�r to try to rescue their 23/24 campaign.

The spirits tell me it is simply not yet time for the reemergence of Joey Barton.

# ? Aug 8, 2023 14:39

Troy Queef: Jan 12, 2013

I predict that a team will tap up Jesse Marsch to have another go in the PL

Also, as it looks like Lopetegui will quit before a ball is kicked, I�d like to amend my first sacking to David Moyes if that happens

# ? Aug 8, 2023 14:47

This is a good shout. Paddy was just named coach of Strasbourg, who were just purchased by the Chelsea ownership group. So if Poch starts slippin'...
