Which of these EPL top managers will lose his job first?

The EPL is having something of a golden season as far as coaches are concerned, but with only 4 CL spots available and the weight of expectations on them I can imagine a few of them will be gone by the end of the season. Which one will be out first?

Decided to ignore a few class ones like Bilic or Guidolin because the expectations are not as high on them.

Wenger will, but he is not a top manager, nor is Ranieri or Pochettino yet. Between the top managers, Mourinho for sure, he lost it.

edit: I don't think Wenger will necessarily be sacked, but will be first to leave.

Ranieri wins the EPL with Leicester and is not a top manager yet

Can't see any of those managers getting sacked this season. This is supposedly Arsene's last season so he might retire but there is more chances of Norwich winning the league than Arsene getting sacked.

Pochettino might be the first one to go in terms of getting rid.

Pogba will get Mourinho fired by end of this year...

Tough one, it'll be between Mou or Conte.

That's hard tbh lol.

Don't see any of them losing their job this season.

Maybe Ranieri if they drop significantly and the ownership get ideas above their station.

IMO Ranieri's job is the safest of all, he is basically the patron saint of City of Leicester now, bigger than the club or the owners

I can see the players turning on Mou, he's already on his way with what he did to Schweini

He is not, you need to be consistently excellent through the years to be considered a "top manager". Actually, he was consistently awful before Leicester.

I can't see us getting rid of Conte after a single season.

I can't see Pep or Mourinho getting the sack unless they do what Mourinho did with us last season

I also can't see Klopp or Wenger getting sacked because they are loved by their clubs too much.

So my money will be on Poch.

Can't see Man Yoo sacking Mourinho in the first season unless he flops really hard, same goes with Conte at Chelsea.

None will this season. Even with lackluster seasons, you cannot put too much expectation on these managers considering most are rebuilding teams, implementing new styles or possess some mediocre players that will be phased out after several years of transfer windows. This is actually a good season for us to take advantage of . Like that's happening.

Wenger sacked? Fourth for life, yo.

All these means most PL teams will do just as shit as before, sadly. Maybe Mou can go far with some good bus parking, since he's the king of that, but don't put your hopes too high on the rest. Guardiola's gonna suffer some good old rapin' in the ass.

Mou, December 2017

Pretty obvious they have to flop hard to get sacked but it can always happen. Klopp is probably the best shout though considering Liverpool is always a desaster waiting to happen

Man you have some high standards. I'm not saying he's the best in the world, only that he has accomplished enough to be considered amongst the best right now.

Also he was never consistently awful as you suggest, he was merely consistently 2nd placed. If he were awful he would not have been so close so often.

I'm pretty sure most will do decently enough. One or two teams might not hit CL this year due to the whole new manager/philosophy/player factors, but I doubt we'll see some Mourinho-esque Chelsea implosions, on the other hand. Will be a very exciting season, to be sure.

Klopp is probably safer than the rest due to Liverpool understandably not having the same quality as the other teams, and maybe not the same ambition. I think CL qualification will be extremely positive for Klopp. He's the builder manager, not the instant trophy kind of guy. And jeez, did he inherit a lot of crap.

There's almost next to nothing chance of any of those managers getting sacked this season tbh.

Ranieri's job seems to be the safest imo. But, If I had to choose 2, I'd go with pochettino and conte and if I had to choose one then it'll be pochettino.

There's zero chance of mou getting sacked this season tbh. Pep's job is as safe as money in the bank, while Wenger is probably going to retire at the end of the season, but getting him sacked? Lol, you'd have a better chance of madrid winning the league tbh

None of them will get sacked because none of their clubs are ruthless.

United waited 3 years to get rid of Van Gaal even though he was really bad. In my opinion, Mourinho will get at least three years as well.

Chelsea won't sack Conte because there are no good managers available. They'll have to stick to him until a good one becomes available.

Pep would never be sacked by City. Never, even if he dropped out of the top four and got knocked out in the round of 16 of the CL. If a guy like Pellegrini could last that long over there, I don't see why not Pep wouldn't last at least as long. They're paying him £21m-a  while his predecessor earned £4.2m-a-year. Clearly, they're doing everything they can to keep him happy.

Klopp: he'll never get sacked by Liverpool no matter how bad he does. They know they've landed a good manager, and they also know that they're not planning on winning the league or the CL. They're just happy he signed for them, and they certainly want him to continue as long as he wants.

Pochettino: Even if he did really bad this year, I think the board would keep him for another year because they think he has done enough. They're not aiming to win the league or the CL, and so as long as he finishes in the top four or not that far off, he'll be kept on.

Wenger: the odds of him getting sacked are as big as Mexico's paying for Trump's wall.

Ranieri: he won them the league, and they know for a fact that they won't win it again. He's set for life at Leicester.

Pochettino isn't getting sacked any time soon. He is incredibly loved in North London and Levy has continually scrambled to offer him new deals (I think his current has him at least to 2019). He's done very well and brought a young core in, and moulded this Spurs team into HIS team. Levy trusts him and the team loves him as well. Even if he were to finish 6th or 7th I can't see Levy getting rid of him.

Off the pitch he only presents himself well and handles the media well. The fact that Spurs managed to create a bit of a media love last year while Leicester were winning the title says it all about Poch.

IMO, the only person more safe than Wenger is Poch, and potentially Ranieri. The only thing that makes Poch more vulnerable is he hasn't just come into the league, he's been with Tottenham two seasons now as opposed to Klopp, Pep, Mourinho and Conte.

Definitely not Mourinho. Moyes survived a whole year and LvG 2 years. So Jose will at the very least complete 1 for sure. The sack watch will come into effect only next season as far as he is concerned.

Of the names mentioned Conte is the closest if he starts slow and doesnt really kick on. Not going to happen tho, but if you take the other names mentioned then he is the least safest imo. Chelsea's tolerance limit is the lowest among all the big clubs in EPL.
Having said that I personally think they are going to win the league this season under him.

None of them are likely to get sacked, but I can see both Pep and, sadly, Klopp struggling to deliver.

Correction: Poch is currently contracted to 2021...yeah. He's safe.

This is a hard one.

I'm quite certain none of them will be sacked this season.

The rest will depend on how teams are doing by next summer.

Pochettino seems to be the one that is most likely to get axed sooner out of these lot.

Spurs definitely punched above their weight last season with all the other teams being shite. Naturally, he will be expected to lead his team similarly well this season but unfortunately I don't see him delivering accordingly as their squad is bang average and inexperienced with respect to what is expected of them.
