Two weeks until the start of the season so I'm opening up the most anticipated contest in all of sports, the :siren:TRP Sack Race:siren:



THE 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 to take a bigger job hasn't happened yet but we'll decide on that if it comes up.



These are the managers you can choose from:

Arsenal - Mikel Arteta
Aston Villa - Steven Gerrard
Bournemouth - Scott Parker
Brentford - Thomas Frank
Brighton & Hove Albion - Graham Potter
Chelsea - Thomas Tuchel
Crystal Palace - Patrick Vieira
Everton - Frank Lampard
Fulham - Marco Silva
Leeds - Jesse Marsch
Leicester - Brendan Rodgers
Liverpool - Jurgen Klopp
Man City - Pep Guardiola
Man United - Erik ten Hag
Newcastle - Eddie Howe
Nottingham Forest - Steve Cooper
Southampton - Ralph Hasenhuttl
Spurs - Antonio Conte
West Ham - David Moyes
Wolves - Bruno Lage

No limits on number of picks per manager - if you all want to pick Frank Lampard then go ahead but you will get a gut-bustingly funny sixer if you choose wrong. Or I might not do that idk probing people is a pain.

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 if someone wants to make a snazzy new one then rattle one off and we'll use that one.

Marco Silva will go the way of the dodo (professionally) after yet another Fulham return to the prem disasterclass, and a nice even 8 managers to be thrown out by May next year

My money is on Fulhams manager Marco Silva being gone first.
Also i bet 5 will be gone and Fulham will be on the third at the closing end of the season.

Ballers...I put numbers on the boards
Going for a slightly leftfield one, [Richard Keys voice] Brendan. Rodgers. 7 sackings.

Adrian Chiles is a broadcaster and writer
Marco Silva and 8 managers.

I think Rodgers will be saved that finances at Leicester are very tight which is why they've not signed anyone

hey guys what is happening in this thread
Hasenhüttl failed me last season so this time my choices are Bruno Lage and Brendan Rodgers as the first two of eight (8) total sackings.

No Watford means this isn't as cut and dried as it used to be. My random guess is Marco Silva will be the first of six (6) total managers sacked

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Frank Lampard will be the first of nine (9) premier league managers to be sacked

Fat Frank will be the first one to be sacked. In total we'll see seven managers getting the boot.

Marco Silva will be the first of 8 managers leaving their jobs this season in the English Premier League. Fulham are going to be the worst team for sure.

Big Ralph Rabbithutch will be the first out the door. Saints have got a rough start to the season, and I don't think he'll get long enough to recover.

Frank is going to be annoying competent until the World Cup break, at which point he will implode entirely but unfortunately not get relegated.

Hasenhuttl, Marsch, Vieira, Conte, Lage and Cooper will all go, plus a wildcard and one of their successors, making eight total sackings.

Edit: I just noticed this is the same as another guess, so I will cheerfully add Frank into the mix, and change my guess to nine

ALL ABOARD THE SCOTLAND HYPE TRAIN!

CHOO CHOO
Gonna be controversial for the sake of it and say Thomas Tuchel. And six (6) total managers sacked.

Just for clarity, are we counting "storms off in a huff" as sacked?
