We are a quarter of the way into the season and still no sackings, remarkable. Pochettino and ten Hag's seats are uncomfortably warm but maybe not hot yet, but give it another week of bad results and we'll see.  It's a reverse of how the table usually looks, top spots are all up for grabs while the bottom end is taking shape and probably unlikely to move much after Christmas.  No surprises who's top of the goal charts either. Will Spurs come back down to earth? Will City continue to stumble? Will Sheffield United ever get another point? It's a funny old game

The last time we went this long before a sacking was Slaven Bilic getting replaced by Sam Allardyce at West Brom on Dec 16, 2020. The longest the PL ever went before a first sacking was Danny Wilson at Sheffield Wed on Mar. 21, 2000. Out of the previous 31 PL seasons, November is most common (8) month for the first sacking to occur. 3 seasons waited til December, then another 3 between Jan and March.  Soon. source

it might not be smart of sheffield united to sell all the players that gave them promotion and replace them with cameron archer and tom davies

That crypto guy was found guilty yesterday, Erik ten Hag is the only manager whose initials are a crypto currency, I'm afraid he's done for.

Random question: are players always happy about winning the Championship and getting promoted to the PL? I know that it comes with a lot of money, but its gotta be more fun to be on top of a league than get your rear end kicked every week like most freshly promoted teams do I'm assuming yes, that while players like to win with their teams ultimately they are focused on their careers and the PL is the biggest stage to display their skill and hopefully get a chance to move to a better team and be paid more

If you don't want to win then you should probably quit playing professional sport. Being content in the league you're in when there's one above you would count as not wanting to win.

Being content in the league you're in when there's one above you would count as not wanting to win. Also the people who even make it to the EFL level are monsters they are like in the 0.001% of people who played Football at a semi level then became pros. So most of these people don't have normal mentality. They definitely are extremely competitive. Maybe you know someone like that in real life who makes everything into a competition, that's the type of mentality you need in sports to get far.

Part of this, I’m guessing, is that there’s a far right, anti-semitic faction that’s outpolling every other party and that the elite think overcorrection is the only way to keep it in check. Israel is bad as hell of course and this particular decision seems dumb but the political climate in Germany is frankly kinda bonkers from an outsider’s perspective.
