There is a feeling of panic coursing through the Premier League right now. Thomas Frank's departure from Spurs was obviously going to happen even if Nottingham Forest dumping Sean Dyche was a less clear call. Poor performances did it for both these bosses but it certainly doesn't help when the fans as a group have given up and let the owners know that they are next in the firing line if they don't act.
There is always the thought that this is simply rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, particularly for Forest but now and again it works. It is a throw of the dice even if the dice is loaded.
The odds were very much against Nuno Espirito Santo when he took over from Graham Potter at West Ham, but now it seems to have had merit given the recent upturn in form built on some basic organisation. So it can work, but it is little more than a punt.
So, who is the Premier League manager currently in most danger? Amazingly Oliver Glasner is still in situ at Crystal Palace after his previous outbursts, but that could change with a couple more bad results.
The big money seems to be on Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler right now, but the style seems set. If you hover too close to the relegation spots, the board panics and the coach is discarded. It is a tough life, except for the small matter of millions of pounds into the manager's back pocket as he walks away, which does limit the sympathy just a little.
