SACKING GALORE
The English Premier League has experienced its highest manager sacking of all time, as the numbers of managers who have been shown the door have risen to a whopping 12 just this season alone. The likes of Graham Potter and Brenda Rogers completed the list after getting sacked this week after the match results of the game week 29.
While some sackings came as a shock to their fans, others were welcomed with joy and jubilation. For example, while some despise the fact that Crystal Palace weren't doing too well, the fans and most football lovers were shocked to learn that he had been sacked, but the likes of Antonio Conte were much more expected because of his numerous press conferences prior to his sacking.
Conte sounds like someone who has lost the dressing room, the trust of the player, and is obviously tired of the job, and he never fails to show that via his speech week in and week out until he is finally sacked. Another shocking sacking that happened during the 22/23 EPL season was that of Thomas Tuche, who was axed by the Chelsea board. Even I, who isn't a fan, was shocked because he hasn't had much of a bad run before he was axed by the Chelsea board; I mean, he's the same person who led them to the Champions League trophy just less than 2 years ago.
Obviously the fans weren't happy about the turnout, but most of them were hoping the new manager in the person of Graham Potter would have a positive impact on the team. Unfortunately for him and Chelsea, he was literally one of the worst managers Chelsea has hired in recent years, and it's no surprise he was shown the door after just 7 months in charge.
Below is a full list of managers sacked during the course of the EPL season till date.
- Scott Parker - Bournemouth
- Thomas Tuchel - Chelsea
- Bruno Lage - Wolverhampton Wanderers
- Steven Gerrard - Aston Villa
- Ralph Hasenhüttl - Southampton
- Frank Lampard - Everton
- Jesse Marsch - Leeds
- Nathan Jones - Southampton
- Patrick Vieira - Crystal Palace
- Antonio Conte - Tottenham
- Brendan Rodgers - Leicester City
- Graham Potter - Chelsea
The likes of Jürgen Klopp of Liverpool, and David Moyes of West Ham are other mangers who might get axe before the season ends of they fails to improve on the bad run each of their teams are going through presently, although west ham were fortunate to win this weekend and have distance themselves off the relegation zone by 5 point, Liverpool are still on the quest of securing a champions League spot for next season.
Well let see how it all goes at the end of the day.

Hehehe I can't agree less, Chelsea are use to SACKING managers, not surprised to see they've done it twice this season.
As a fan of Manchester United, This news makes me sad because we won't have any entertainment again from Chelsea, ha ha
Nice post, Vick, Keep up the good work

Yea that's true, I was also not happy about potter sacking, at least they should have let them play against us(Arsenal) before they'll show him the exist door.
Thanks so much for your support Queen.
Hi,
Hehe, I remember an Arsenal fan calling watching Chelsea a comic relief a few matches before Potters' sack. Infact that day, Chelsea were playing at about thesame time as Arsenal and we were watching in a public place that aired both matches.
For me,I'm just glad we are firing and closing the mouths all these Chelsea felas and even your Man U. Infact United's fans were talking of challenging for the title once they defeat Newcastle, now they have been humbled. And what is going on is not mere happenstance even, since August, it was predicted here: GO AND SLEEP ARSENAL FAITHFULS...
Hey @vickoly, 12 managers, that's quite some number. It shows the ambition of EPL clubs have risen to a new high.
I think the rest(coaches) will finish the season,if the clubs want to stay up or retain some honour,it's too risky now to sack anyone.
Cheers man.
Up Arsenal
Lovely post @vickoly
Truly sacking coach really help to revive the team in poor performance
Thanks.
Yea it helps sometimes if the right coach is given the job, because as you can see ditching Tuchel for Potter was a disaster.
That's true
But a right coach truly
Exactly.
Chelsea is just burning managers left and right :D
Lol I believe they're a team with great ambition and expectations and that's why they quickly loses their patient with coaches.
