Championship management is a tricky gig at best, I’m sure I read the average time in the role is around 18 months?
Which club will be the first to pull the trigger, once the new season starts?
(For betting purposes Watford are excluded)

Nuno will be under pressure if West Ham don’t get off to a good start
