With the spectre of relegation hanging over a number of clubs like the sword of damocles, it is virtually inevitable that at some point in the season (probably around May/June time) at least one club chairman will have a panic attack and dismiss their coach in a desperate attempt to turn their season around before it's too late.

Who do you reckon will be first to have the trigger pulled on them? I'll take a punt on Denis Betts.

Brian Noble or Lee Radford

Sandyknob.

I can see Noble getting the chop if Salford fail to impress given the money Koukash has invested. Got a feeling they will do quite well though.

Pearson has shown in the past that he isn't afraid to axe a manager/coach. He sacked Jan Molby and Phil Parkinson from City after a short stint due to poor form. Hoping Radders is a success of course but have faith that AP will do what's necessary if that's not the case.

Sandercock. He was only kept on while Hudgell dithered about ditching the club.

They couldn't afford to sack him and if they did, they could only afford Chester to take over.

Lets be honest, he will be the lowest paid coach in SL as a former junior coach.

Not so sure he'll be first to go (and not pretending to know what he earns), I think Betts at Widnes will be, but who knows, there's only 3 or 4 that are "safe"

It was funny to hear the going down chants again now relegation is back from the saints fans

Radford

Radford.

Looking at our 1st 9 games i can see us getting 2 or 4 points and if so people will start asking questions and we know AP doesnt mess around.

Radders will not be sacked he will do 2 seasons minimum.

Betts,noble and Agar will be in the running for the chop 1st with Sandylimpdick also in the frame if they don't start we'll with it being their year.

Noble, what with the pressure Dr Koucash is putting on him.

Sandy will be fine , let's face it what other coach would do his job the peanuts he'll be getting . Chomp chomp chomp

Tony Smith might have a bit to worry about if last nights performance levels continue.

Can't stand the smug, grinning tw--

Cummins / Rea - Not much stability at either club.

Frayssinous - Catalans faded last season & I think they'll be flat after the World Cup.

Radford - Impatient owner on his 3rd coach & 3rd CEO in two & a half years...he's likely to change his mind again.

If the team performs poorly and there is the slightest chance of us being in a relegation battle AP will get rid. People are saying there is no chance of us finishing near the bottom, yet you only have to look back at some of our finishes when Agar was in charge.

I think we will finish in top 8, relegation is miles away for us, shock a lot of knockers. imho

I admire your optimism bit deluded but admire it all the same

Sandercock did a very good job last year considering injuries and his depth of squad.

We will go fine this season...not as good as you as it is your year.

I will be happy with eighth good win for you lot tonight expected a low scoring game would have been better if westerman could kick

Cummins, first carvell,now sammut,...looking grim

If it was true that we went for Gale then I would of rather we had gone for Sammut, A lot better player then gale. First for the chop and the most pressure to deliver as got to be Noble.

The main ethos since Gentle went has been AP wanting passion and pride in wearing the jersey. There was no one out there last night who looked like they didn't have any passion for their club/the fans/Radders or AP
