My vote goes to Julen Lopetegui, and a record breaking 16 (sixteen) sackings

For some reason I have a hunch about Lopetegui and a record 16 sackings

Lopetegui and 7

You guys haven't picked a replacement so you get to reroll before Friday night. Choose wisely

Maybe they wanted to see if he'd actually not be happy to get to the start of the season with no signings and they couldn't take his word for it

I want to see the return of Steve Bruce

Bogan Krkic: Oct 31, 2010; Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

Well drat, Wolves couldn't have held fire for another couple of days? In that case I'm revising my answer to David Moyes, and I think the foreign fancy dan manager to grace the league will be Xabi Alonso

Even though Lopetegui doesn't count as the first sacking of the season I think for the sake of big numbers we should still count him in the total number of sackings this season

Agreed, and it�s a good start to our �more sackings than total teams� season

Ok fine, David Moyes will be first to go out of 10

e: and we'll see Gennaro Gattuso turning up on these shores to try to pull off a great escape

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

11 sackings, first to go will be Thomas Frank

I predict someone will throw a colossal amount of money at Carlo Ancelotti

An eyebrow is raised.

I�ll jump in and guess 8 managers and the first (lol Lopetegui) is Steve Cooper, with the appearance of a wild Steven Gerrard once he realizes the Saudis� opinions on Phil Collins don�t match his own.

Mainwaring: Jun 22, 2007; Disco is not dead! Disco is LIFE!

Ok I'll change my pick to Heckingbottom. Sticking with 10 total sackings and Ole making a comeback.

You can pick the same managers to get hired. If multiple people win a prize then the sack race has done its job

I'm picking Chris Wilder to return to the Prem to guarantee it doesn't happen.

Steve Cooper first one to go and it�ll be Wayne Rooney returning. I would say Potter, but I think maybe he�s happy with his multimillion Chelsea payout and just having a nice life now

TyrantWD: Nov 6, 2010; Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible

8 sackings, and Marco Silva will be the first to go.

Moyes will be the first of 12 heads that roll, and Warnock will rematerialize.
