quick thought, we're playing Burnley on the weekend, and although they've moved out of the relegation places with a better run of results recently, was wondering whether Sean Dyche was on the hot seat? It seems managers promoted with teams are on the short leash, as premier league survival is deemed more important than sticking with the manager that got you there, even if that means being relegated.
Was thinking about this because of that feature that the guardian did on eddie howe, where the consensus from the thinkers (I use the term advisedly) below the line commenting seemed to be he could get bournemouth into the premier league and then would be booted out midway through as they got a shoeing trying to adjust to being in the big leagues. Obviously there's no assurance that bournemouth are going to be promoted, but does that mean any young english manager should be wary of getting his team into the premier league, if all that will happen is he'll be kicked out for someone older with a history of fighting relegation..
