liverpool got relegated just 3 seasons in with 95% the same players that won the league in 07/08, somehow rafa kept his job and simply wasn't offered a new contract. i declaired interest, but didn't want to leave arsenal before i won the title. after the world cup, i set the jobs page as my home page, waiting for liverpool to become available. grant at chelsea was also released, the chelsea job was available, but when i checked liverpool, stoichkov was appointed without any announcement.
in my fourth season, i think i am the only manager not be have changed jobs/been sacked, blackburn have had 2, newcastle and west ham the same, fergie retired early, so there are probably more than enough sackings in my game.
