The European Championships are now over meaning football fans worldwide have already started counting down the days to the dawn of the eagerly anticipated new Premier League season. There are now just over six weeks until the 2012/13 campaign kicks-off on Saturday 18th August and if we have even half of the drama, controversy and pure entertainment of the previous season then we are all in for an absolute treat. A staggering seven top flight clubs have made managerial changes since the end of last season, while four gaffers will be testing their credentials in the Premier League for the first time.
Stan James have installed Southampton manager Nigel Adkins as the early 5/2 favourite to get sacked first. the Saints may be carrying a lot of momentum after winning back to back promotions to the Premier league but the computer has given them a very hard start to life back in England's top league with Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal in the first month of the season the south-coast club could find themselves in some hot water and a long way back.
The New West Brom gaffer Steve Clark is next in the running at 5/1, he has been handed a tough start to life as a manager with matches against Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton and therefore will need to rely on his experience as assistant at Newcastle, Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool.
Sam Allardyce 8/1 will be looking to build on a successful first season in charge of West Ham but knows that a decent start is crucial. The Hammers have a testing Christmas period with games against Tottenham, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool in the space of 16 days. You never know if Big Sam’s side start to wobble then there could be calls for the out-of-work Harry Redknapp to make a sensational return to Upton Park.
After leading Chelsea to a incredible FA Cup and Champions League double last season now means that big things are expected of young Roberto Di Matteo he is at 9/1 but like any other Chelsea boss if results are not good enough the pressure will build on him and we all know what happens to managers at Stamford Bridge when you upset the owner, Di Matteo will want to do better than former boss Andre Villas Boas, who himself will be looking to make a fresh start at Tottenham, but if he ends up in the same kind of problems as he did at Chelsea he could be a good bet at 25/1.
New Liverpool Boss Brendan Rodgers is priced at 16/1 as well as the man who replaced him at Swansea Michael Laudrup Paul Lambert has been handed 25/1 to be sacked from his new role at Villa. Chris Hughton is at 12/1, Wigan boss Martinez is at 20/1 along with QPR boss Mark Hughes. Meanwhile Alex Ferguson, Roberto Mancini and Arsene Wenger all have long odds of 66/1.
