English Football On Course For Record Number Of Sackings, LMA Report Finds

The League Managers Association's quarterly report said that more managers "will be sacked in the Premier League and Football League than ever before if current trends continue," according to Tom Hayward of REUTERS. 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." The LMA report stated, "If the trend continues we are on course to exceed the total dismissal record of 46 set in 2006-2007." 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." Twelve clubs in the League Championship "dismissed managers up to Dec. 31, with the average tenure of current managers in the division standing at an alarming 0.82 years" (REUTERS, 1/24).
