The Sack Race

So, we're almost through to November now, and teams in the Football League will inevitably start to wonder if they've got the right man in charge, or if a replacement could do better. At TacticalBet, we thought it would be quite good to assess who's favourite for the chop, as it's quite a large market, and also an amusing and interesting one.

Premiership

Steve Kean is the stand-out, surely he's onto borrowed time, as shown by the odds of 11/8. The fans are giving him some dreadful stick, with protests both before and after the game, and if you're going to bet on this market, he looks your man. However, other options could include Owen Coyle? 16/1, and his Bolton side are struggling. How about a few obscure ones, Villas Boas at 50/1? Abramovich does appear restless with all his managers, and perhaps Wenger at 18/1 isn't too far off either.

Championship

There have already been a few changes in this league, but what about the next? Kenny Jackett's Milwall are down there, and at 5/1 he's a favourite. Can Sven deliver at Leicester? He's 14/1 to go next, they're not living up to the standard they should be given the money they spent in the summer. Most others look safe for now, but the two you've got to look at would be Dyche and Thorn of Watford and Coventry respectively, both struggling, both low at 7/1.

League One

Phil Brown's Preston are extremely inconsistent, so him at 7/1 again might be another option worth looking at. Yeovil are now rock bottom, and their 10/1 to part with their boss, Terry Skiverton, one we'd encourage you to look at for sure. The two John's, Ward and Sheridan of Colchester and Chesterfield are at 12 and then 14/1, worth looking at as form develops.

League Two

Lawrie Sanchez is our pick here, at Barnet and priced at 7/2. There are plenty of other options as well, with it wide open. Our best tip would be to keep an eye on the form, and the market, then make a call when situations change. Micky Adams 20/1 at Port Vale, and a suprise choice in Paulo Di Canio at 12/1 managing Swindon, would be our selections.

Just a brief overview into each, and we'll keep you up to date with the sackings as they unfold! There are sure to be some interesting occurrences to follow in the lead up to January. All the odds given above are courtesy of Paddy Power except the League Two ones, which come from Stan James.
