Premier League analysis: Too soon or time to go? Every EPL sacking rated
Eight managers have already been sacked in the Premier League this season, a brutal reminder of how unforgiving the division has become.
In this article, Sports News Blitz writer Zephryn Dockree looks at each of the eight sackings and assesses whether they were truly justified or whether some clubs may have pulled the trigger too soon.

Here, Sports News Blitz writer Liberty Nicholson-Hulse explores why clubs have become so quick to sack managers and whether these changes deliver real results.
Ange Postecoglou opinion: 24 hours of vindication for ex Tottenham and Forest boss
In his two and a half years in English football, Ange Postecoglou hasn’t been one to bury his thoughts and please people.
The infamous ‘I always win things in my second season’ amongst numerous rants in press conferences about his performance and capability at both Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest hasn’t always rubbed the public the right way.
However, Postecoglou can’t have had a more vindicating 24 hours in his career, as both his successors Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche lost their jobs with the teams firmly in a relegation battle.
The fact the Australian manager was set to appear on Gary Neville’s ‘Stick to Football’ podcast the very same day Frank lost his job created the perfect moment for Postecoglou to have the last laugh, as Sports News Blitz writer Oliver Powell reports.

Premier League news: Five key talking points around the relegation battle as Thomas Frank sacked
