After yesterday’s results it would take a lucky man or a fool to bet on the next Premier League manager to lose his job. Avram Grant , Carlo Ancelotti and Roy Hodgson’s days are surely numbered after Blackburn Rovers thrashed Liverpool 3-1, West Ham were humiliated by Newcastle United 5-0 and Chelsea were embarrassed at Wolves whose 1-0 victory lifts them out of the relegation zone.
I think Roy Hodgson’s time was already up before the kick-off but this latest defeat may have the Liverpool owners turning to Kenny Dalglish as a caretaker manager until they can get a big name to take up the reins at Anfield.
Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea’s poor run continued last night at Molineux. It’s still amazing what has happened at Stamford Bridge since the sacking of Ray Wilkins. They started the season scoring for fun only to stumble and fall at the first serious challenge against Manchester City, and since then have never looked that confident. If ever a Premiership team could be compared to David Haye at the beginning of the season, only to fall from grace and turn into Audley Harrison midway through the season, Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea are that team.
Of the three managers things were looking brightest for Avram Grant this time yesterday afternoon. I would have thought West Hams owners David Sullivan and David Gold may have been content with a draw against Newcastle at St. James Park until it was confirmed their first and second choice strikers, Andy Carroll and Shola Ameobi, were both injured. They must have expected West Ham to grab all three points, not get absolutely hammered 5-0 with some of the poorest defending I had seen on Match of the Day since the Liverpool game, thirty minutes earlier.
Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool to sack their managers in January. Who would have imagined that scenario when the season kicked off last August?
Personally, I am hoping that the American owners hand "Woy Hodgson" his P45 before the biggest match of our season so far, the F.A Cup match against Man United on Sunday. I think the introduction of the legend that is King Kenny Dalglish is just the spark the fans and players need to reignite our season and push on for the much coveted Champions League place.
