So at each of the clubs mentioned you'd keep the current manager in charge? Sacking managers is an admission of your own failure and incompetence in the first place. Some fans seem to think that the solution to every problem, real and imagined is solved by sacking your manager, however that usually solves very few problems, and often creates as many problems as it solves. City have a good and proven manager, he’s the current PL champion. The intelligent thing to do is identify with him where any current weaknesses exist and sort them out, by reinforcing in the appropriate manner. Chelsea are looking like they’re going fine as they are and if I was Chairman/owner I’d do the same thing there, i.e review with my manager and identify any areas that can be further improved on for the next campaign. United need to continue the rebuild, and as chairman/owner I’d give Van Gall at least one or two more seasons to complete his task, and review things after that. Spurs need a period of stability and as you said yourself he needs to be supported rather than sacked. Arsenal have a very able manager that has got them to the quarter final stages of the CL every year for the past fifteen and has virtually paid off their stadium development costs. He’s won a trophy recently and needs to be supported with strengthening, sacking him could usher in considerable instability. Liverpool have a manager that has worked miracles with cheapish young potentials on a shoestring, I’d have to be off my head to sack him. Those are fair statements, Herc. Top post. I do think City will probably be considering another route after this season though. Their lack of European success despite their embarrassment of riches is more than a little disappointing, and they way they've played this season is arguably worse than Mancini's last season when he got the sack.

Fair calls. Have to disagree with you regarding City considering they still haven't managed to get out of the last 16 in the CL after the billion or whatever it is they've put into transfers.
Also, I wouldn't be keeping LVG but opinion makes this more interesting. But Van Gall has only just arrived at the club, he has them it the top 4 as we speak, what sense would it make in the wide earthly world to sack Van Gall now? And especially when there’s a major rebuild in progress, they’d have to be out of their greedy little minds to sack him now.

Chelsea, Tottenham and us should keep managers. City, Arsenal and United should get rid. Different clubs have different aspirations. If Tottenham can stay within touching distance of top four, then Pochetino would be doing a good job but if Pellegrini comes second, then he's a failure. As for us, there's no escaping the fact that right now we're not big enough to win the title despite the pains of last season. Even fourth place is a big ask unless either Arsenal or United Fukk up real bad which united will do I expect.

The only one that's in trouble at the moment is Pellegrini. If Wenger gets top 4 he'll keep his job. Van Gaal is doing fine for his first year. fIRST YEAR OR NOT, LOOK AT HOW MUCH HE HAS SPENT! sorry bout the caps

Really think Spurs should keep theirs and Citeh should keep Pellegrini despite the criticism recently. They will not do anything in the CL until they are capable of winning a group but they don't get it easy unlike Arsenal who find it easy having been there so many times.
Scumchester need to keep Van Gaal to give the rest a chance to put them in the shade for a long time. We are probably going to be the best chance of that if we can nick 4th off them. After that their only hope would be to get Mourinho which won't happen.

City will have an easier time in Europe in the next couple of years. They had to start from scratch in terms of seeding and ranking a few years ago, but they've gotten out of their group twice now. They've been in the Group of Death how many times now?

Pelligrini and either LVG or BR (whoever fails to get top 4) is going to be at risk. I suppose there's a slight chance that Wenger would, but I don't see that happening.

It's better to admit a failure when you know you have done one instead of continuing with it. In the 90s we made the mistake of keeping Sounness for too long, it's like a business, it all depends on the General Manager. Coming back to the thread 'if i was the chairman'; Chelsea: not much there, I would just continue with Jose who is doing a great job. City: given the money I have, would try to get Ancelotti and if not possible Simeone. Pelligrini is good but there is much better and given my ambition I would consider someone better. Arsenal: That's a tough one, he has been one of the best managers in the league but looks to have lost it. With the amount of money he has been spending over the last 2 seasons, he should be competing to win it now. I would give him one more season and then see. Liverpool: If we could get Simeone or Klopp would change and also give the manager total transfer control within a budget of course. I feel that Rodgers is still learning and I am not sure how long that would take. However, if we qualify for CL, I could give him one more season to prove himself. United: I don't care.

I would sack Pelligrini end of season for delivering zero trophies. Rodgers should be replaced aswell if a top european coach became available that can stabalise our position in europe once again. Mourinho, LVG and Poch are doing well so I would keep them in their jobs.
Back to Back World Champions baby!
