Premier League Sacked Manager Rating
With two managers gone since we last tipped a Premier League winner, we decided to try and guess who the next victim would be.
We took various stats and gave them a rating out of 10, with zero being the best scores for teams doing well, and 10 for the worst performed teams. Most of them are definitive like Points per Game (PPG), PPG at Home, PPG for Last 3, Goals scored per Game, current ladder position, length of service based on League averages, and a subjective feelgood factor towards the manager. Add all the scores together and you have the Sacked Manager Rating out of 100.
