3rd most likely: Roberto Mancini

After such an exciting end to the season culminating in his team winning the league title, some might say that it is impossible for Mancini to be sacked. Unfortunately, it is not so easy being a manager of a club with rich owners looking for instant success and the team's poor performances this season will be harmful to his chances of staying on. This is especially true in the Champion's League, with the draw with Ajax dealing a fatal blow to their chances of progressing to the next stage. The performances have also dropped in the league, with their goalscoring ability of last season abandoning them and they only avoided losing to West Ham through a wrong call by the linesmen. Rumours that Pep Guardiola is considering a return to management will be of no consolation to him as his owners look to becoming the champions of the world as soon as possible.
2nd: Martin O'Neill

1st: Mark Hughes
taken from: telegraph.co.uk |
Joint bottom of the league. Winless in 10 games. Yet Mark Hughes should have no excuses at all. After narrowly escaping relegation last season, Tony Fernandes decided to stick with Hughes. With the transfer window and sufficient funds to shape the team in his image and a full pre-season to work
with, QPR was not expected to end up in a relegation battle. Despite some shrewd buys in Granero and Park Ji Sung, Hughes has not managed to make the team work as one and his tactics seem to always lead to the team conceding and losing. For now, QPR plays with a horrid lack of enthusiasm which even the boisterous crowd at Loftus Road is unable to change. Fernandes has constantly come out to voice his support for Hughes but it seems likely that Hughes will have maximum till the January transfer window to change the fortunes of the club before another manager is brought in to manage this undoubtedly talented but underachieving team.
