Our <a href="https://twitter.com/twoods250">Thomas Woods</a> pinpoints five other Premier League managers feeling the heat. <strong>1. Malky Mackay, Cardiff City</strong> It was a 1-0 win for Mackay’s team over West Brom that cost Clarke his job, but Cardiff went into Saturday’s match without a win in five. Mackay has also had to deal with the club’s controversial owner, Vincent Tan, firing trusted head of recruitment, Iain Moody. All is not well in Wales. <strong>2. Chris Hughton, Norwich City</strong> There was an air of expectation after a summer of recruitment at Norwich. However, four points from six games saw them sit bottom after 10 matches. Hughton has managed to turn things around – three wins in their last six, and a 1-1 draw at home to Swansea City yesterday – but they remain five points off the relegation zone. <strong>3. Sam Allardyce, West Ham United</strong> Allardyce was dealt a pre-season blow when his major summer signing, Andy Carroll, failed to recover from injury. The England forward has not played this season, but that does not excuse some of the drab football West Ham have played. They have drawn 0-0 five times and went 347 minutes between goals scored at home. Now they are a point above the drop zone. <strong>4. Andre Villas-Boas, Tottenham Hotspur</strong> Tottenham made a fine start to the season – second after six games – but have suffered by a lack of goals after a summer of spending. Yesterday’s humiliating 5-0 home defeat to top-four rivals Liverpool, a month after a 6-0 loss to Manchester City, has only added to mounting pressure on Villas-Boas. <strong>5. David Moyes, Manchester United</strong> Nobody around the club believes United will sack Moyes less than one season into a five-year deal. A 3-0 win away at Aston Villa yesterday will have brought welcome relief, but United’s league form this season – in stark contrast to their fortunes in the Uefa Champions League – has been poor.
