Two weeks until the start of the season so I'm opening up the most anticipated contest in all of sports, the  TRP Sack RaceTHE RULES Pick the Premier League manager you think is going to lose their job first. ALSO for an extra chance at a prize tell me how many managers in total are going to be sacked from the Premier League this season. A 'sacking' for the purposes of this contest include a resignation, a parting by mutual consent, 'stepping down' etc. Leaving a job to take the inevitable Saudi money does not count. Roy Hodgson finally crumbling into dust on the touchline due to the ravages of time does not count. These are the managers you can choose from: Arsenal - Mikel Arteta Aston Villa - Unai Emery Bournemouth - Andoni Iraola Brentford - Thomas Frank Brighton - Roberto de Zerbi Burnley - Vincent Kompany Chelsea -Mauricio Pochettino Crystal Palace - Roy Hodgson Everton - Sean Dyche Fulham - Marco Silva Liverpool - Jürgen Klopp Luton Town - Rob Edwards Man City - Pep Guardiola Man United - Erik ten Hag Newcastle - Eddie Howe Nottingham Forest - Steve Cooper Sheffield United - Paul Heckingbottom Tottenham - Ange Postecoglou West Ham - David Moyes Wolves - Julen Lopetegui A powerful line-up this season and I can't see any dead certs for first sacking. Just typing it out made me remember Luton loving Town are in the prem this season lmao If you correctly select the first manager to get sacked (or you correctly guess the total number of sackings at the end of the season) you will either win this gangtag:  Or one of the other TRP ones if you've already got one. Or a new av if you think gangtags are fail. Last season we had a league record 14 sackings, which was either a ridiculous statistical outlier or a chilling portent of things to come. You decide. the sex ghost fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Jul 28, 2023 |

Think it will be a toss up between spurs and chelsea making the stupidest possible decision but I think Spurs will poo poo themselves when they don't immediately race up the league and will sack Big Ange before the end of September. There will be 9 total sackings this season

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

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

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

Lmao that the Ipswich manager turned them down and since then palace have just been openly interviewing people while Roy's still hanging aboutquote:Palace face Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Monday. I would simply use today's presser to call Steve Parish a oval office with a stupid haircut and then play the kids against Everton for a laugh
