EPL: The Sack Race

Not many would have backed Iain Dowie to become the first Premier League managerial casualty of last season.

It will be difficult to repeat what Sam Allardyce achieved, but the diminutive Sammy Lee will undoubtedly give it his best.

Will it be enough? Probably not.

Verdict: The leap from tracksuit coach to tracksuit manager will be too great. Could be the first to go.

Sack Rating: 6/10
