10 most divisive figures in the Premier League: Mourinho & Costa at Chelsea, plus controversial Arsenal & Man Utd stars
1) Jose Mourinho (Chelsea)
After Chelsea’s worst start in 37 years, Jose Mourinho is surely in big danger after losing at home to Southampton. The Blues boss seemed defiant after the game, calling for Roman Abramovich to sack him, as he isn’t going to quit. The Russian owner may just take the Portuguese coach’s advice…
2) Steve McClaren (Newcastle)
Rock-bottom of the Premier League table and still without a win, it has been a terrible start by Steve McClaren at Newcastle, who were destroyed 6-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Surely the former England boss won’t survive this?
3) Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool)
Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool career may rest on the result at Everton today, though some reports suggest he may already be gone, even if his side win the Merseyside Derby. It’s been a poor start to the season and the club are well aware that big names like Carlo Ancelotti and Jurgen Klopp are available.
4) Tim Sherwood (Aston Villa)
Another manager really not fulfilling expectations at his current club, Tim Sherwood is edging ever nearer the exit door at Aston Villa as his side make it four defeats on the spin, dropping into the relegation zone.
5) Dick Advocaat (Sunderland)
Like Newcastle beneath them, Sunderland remain winless so far in the Premier League and surely can’t go on like this under Dick Advocaat as they look powerless to prevent relegation.
