Managers sacked at fast pace

MORE managers will be sacked in the English Premier League and Football League than ever before if current trends continue, according to the League Managers Association’s quarterly report.

As of the end of December, 27 managers — more than a quarter of the Premier League and Football league’s 92 clubs — had been dismissed from their clubs. The tally is three more than at the same stage last season.

A further seven managers resigned or departed by mutual consent.

“If the trend continues we are on course to exceed the total dismissal record of 46 set in 2006-2007,” the LMA report stated.

Premier League dismissals are down six from last season, however, as only Crystal Palace’s Neil Warnock and West Bromwich Albion’s Alan Irvine were sacked by the New Year.
