Despite how terrible Burnley and Sheffield United have been so far this season, what’s keeping those two managers in their jobs? At least Luton have managed to adjust to the premier league and are now getting results after a poor start

    What’s not? Burnley might pull the trigger I don’t know how much they value Kompany but Sheffield United for example what are they seriously expecting Heckingbottom to do? It’s all well and good sacking but a replacement can’t necessarily work a miracle either in keeping a team up. I’m not sure there’s three teams worse than either of these so I think relegation is probably inevitable

      Sheff Utd has looked a mess for the past few years, I think the pandemic killed that club as they were doing so well back in the prem during 2019/20 and became one of the worst ever premier league sides the following. Find it weird that Paul Heckingbottom originally replaced Chris Wilder that season and is still there but with talk in the background of Wilder replacing him this year

      I think we should encourage the concept of sticking by a manager rather than encouraging the toxic concept of sacking them when it isn’t panning out perfectly
