#3 Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham)
Manuel Pellegrini casts the shadow of a man walking a tight rope, as despite beginning the season with the lofty ambition of cracking the top 6, West Ham currently languishes in 17th place, just 3 points above the relegation zone.
The London club has been on a run of 8 games without a win, a run that stretches to 2 months. The latest loss to Tottenham Hotspur at home was the third consecutive game they have conceded 3 goals before the hour mark, and it once again highlighted a few of the problems currently faced by the Chilean.
Injuries have plagued West Ham's campaign this term, with Jack Wilshere, Manuel Lanzini, Winston Reid, and Lukasz Fabianski in particular on the treatment table. Fabianski's replacement, Roberto, has been dreadful, and there have been calls for him to be dropped.
The fans are divided over the fate of the Chilean, as the blame game has been split between the direction of the board and the gaffer. Several names have been whispered as possible replacements, such as Rafa Benitez, Sean Dyche, David Moyes, Eddie Howe, etc.
With games against Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal to come for The Hammers, it doesn't get any easier for the Chilean, as it seems only a question of when the owners will pull the plug.
Possibility: 5/5
