We\u2019re a positive bunch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>1) Manchester City: Pep Guardiola<\/h2>\n<p>Calls time after winning the domestic treble.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>2) Arsenal: Mikel Arteta<\/h2>\n<p>A Champions League exit before the final and a\u00a0fourth consecutive second-placed finish to confirm his status as the greatest bottlejob in Premier League history having plumbed set-piece depths to play the worst football of any of those four seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: Arsenal bottlemageddon schadenfreude is inevitable, absolutely fine and nothing new<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>3) Manchester United: Michael Carrick<\/h2>\n<p>Continues winning playing some attractive but moment-heavy football that\u2019s not to INEOS\u2019 taste after analysing games played under vibes-based predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>4) Aston Villa: Unai Emery<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Real Madrid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>5) Liverpool: Arne Slot<\/h2>\n<p>Champions League qualification fails to halt the slow dawning FSG realisation that the damage that sacking the manager who\u2019s just led them to the title would do to <strong>the reputation of This Means More football club<\/strong> isn\u2019t worth the pain of keeping a guy in charge who\u2019s had them playing insipid football for the vast majority of his Anfield tenure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>6) Chelsea: Liam Rosenior<\/h2>\n<p>FA Cup semi-final defeat to Leeds and failure to qualify for the Champions League after <strong>Roses<\/strong> sanctions Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro following interviews declaring their respective desires to live in Manchester, Paris and a more northerly part of London.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>7) Brentford: Keith Andrews<\/h2>\n<p>Poached after miraculously leading Brentford into Europe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>8) Bournemouth: Andoni Iraola<\/h2>\n<p><span>A possible move to Paris Saint-Germain when Luis Enrique replaces Guardiola at the Etihad. <\/span>Wherever Iraola goes it\u2019s <span>about time someone with deeper pockets and grander ambitions wants to see what he\u2019s made of after three seasons at Bournemouth. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>9) Sunderland: Regis Le Bris<\/h2>\n<p>Burns all Mackem bridges built through promotion and a stunning return to the top flight spectacularly by taking a step down to Newcastle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>10) Newcastle: Eddie Howe<\/h2>\n<p>A mid-table finish preceding a dozen come-and-get-me pleas from players realising the Newcastle peak under Howe is long gone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>11) Everton: David Moyes<\/h2>\n<p>Failure to secure unlikely European football <strong>sees The Friedkin Group get far too big for their boots<\/strong> and source a shiny new manager for their shiny new stadium.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>12) Fulham: Marco Silva<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The two-word bullsh*t he spouted in March<\/strong> bites him on the bum as Fulham bring their stale marriage to an end.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>13) Fabian Hurzeler: Brighton<\/h2>\n<p>Hurzeler himself continues to bring up speculation over a move to Bayer Leverkusen in press conferences while leading Brighton to their worst finish since the 2020\/21 season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>14) Oliver Glasner: Crystal Palace<\/h2>\n<p>He\u2019s already announced his exit having become thoroughly and understandably peeved about all his best players being sold.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>15) West Ham: Nuno Espirito Santo<\/h2>\n<p>Rewarded for Premier League survival with no money whatsoever to improve the squad and leaves to avoid another relegation battle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>16) Leeds: Daniel Wake<\/h2>\n<p>Two great days at Wembley after victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final precedes an honourable defeat to Man City, but that achievement along with Premier League survival fails to silence a clamour which becomes a din as <strong>a possible replacement<\/strong> becomes available following Uruguay\u2019s early World Cup exit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>17) Nottingham Forest: Vitor Pereira<\/h2>\n<p>Pereira steps down on the back of some sort of pitch-invading madness from Evangelos Marinakis to make their relationship untenable after staying up on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n<h2\/>\n<h2>18) Tottenham: Roberto De Zerbi<\/h2>\n<p>Relegation and <strong>a declaration of love for Mason Greenwood<\/strong> to force ENIC\u2019s hand into granting his escape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: Top 10 issues De Zerbi and Tottenham must instantly address to try and avoid calamity<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>19) Wolves: Rob Edwards<\/h2>\n<p>Fails to placate angry Wolves stakeholders through insisting he \u201cwouldn\u2019t have left for any other club\u201d but Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>20) Burnley: Scott Parker<\/h2>\n<p>Finishing below Wolves before the Burnley chiefs ask themselves the question regularly pondered by the Premier League-centric masses for the last six years: What is the point of Scott Parker?<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n
