With the Premier League season fully up and running, the inevitable rumour mill has begun swirling in regards to potential management changes.
Couple that with the release of the incomparable Football Manager 2019 and what do you get? A timely run down of all current 20 Premier League managers, ranking them via the game's eponymous job security terms.
From 'untouchable' to the unnerving 'under review', here's 90min's comprehensive review of where our current crop of Premier League bosses stand..
20. Pep Guardiola - Manchester City
Job Security: Untouchable
The Manchester City manager is undoubtedly the safest man in England right now. The man could sell his entire starting XI in January, skip every training session between now and then and still be secure in his two-year deal.
19. Jurgen Klopp - Liverpool
Job Security: Untouchable
The Metalhead Messiah. The Gegenpressing Genius.
That's right, the Liverpool manager is more than comfortable in his role on Merseyside as it stands. The fans and board alike are infatuated with their German tactician, even though he's yet to accrue a single trophy in three years at the club.
It's alright for some, eh?
18. Mauricio Pochettino - Tottenham
Job Security: Untouchable
The 46-year-old is another one of those lucky devils who are simultaneously trophy-less and untouchable. (SO UNREALISTIC!!!).
But there's simply no way the club would consider getting rid off their Argentine tactician, not when other club's are sniffing around him and there's a massive buy-out clause to be exploited. Ahhhhh, Spurs.
17. Unai Emery - Arsenal
Job Security: Very Secure
Ah, the first of the touchables, as I like to call them. Unai Emery has had an impressive start to life in north London, recording 11 wins on the bounce across competitions before the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Considering this start, and Arsenal's previous managerial stints, the Spaniard should have another 12 years in him at least at this point, six of which will be wholly disappointing.
16. Eddie Howe - Bournemouth
Job Security: Very Secure
The Englishman has long been the country's next best thing, being linked with the great and the good ever since he dragged wee Bournemouth into the Premier League in 2015.
Now in his fourth season, the 40-year-old is as secure as ever. At the time of writing, his side are sixth in the table, with 20 points from 10 games and the fourth most goals scored.
15. Maurizio Sarri - Chelsea
Job Security: Secure
It won't be lost on the Italian that, though he has arguably put in the most praiseworthy managerial performance of the 2018/19 season so far, his security level is only secure.
This is the score at Chelsea. Manager's rarely exceed this moniker, and if they do, it certainly doesn't last long. Still, VIVA SARRI-BALL!
14. Nuno Espirito Santo - Wolves
Job Security: Secure
The fantastically facial-haired tactician is a cult hero in Wolverhampton, and rightly so. He has brought a wave of success upon the club, and has so far lived up to the lofty 'best of the rest' expectations thrown on him before their return to the Premier League.
These weighty expectations are why he misses out on the 'Very' tag, however.
13. Chris Hughton - Brighton
Job Security: Secure
That's almost the perfect execution of a smug face emoji from Chris Hughton, and he's well within his rights.
The Seagulls are flying high at 11th in the table, and the 59-year-old is currently presiding over the longest managerial tenure of his career.
12. Sean Dyche - Burnley
Job Security: Stable
Perhaps a harsh assessment of Sean Dyche's situation, but the club have appeared stagnant in 2018/19. After hitting the heights of seventh last year, the Clarets look far weaker this time.
While it's unlikely the club would get rid of Dyche, there's nothing like a security level lowering to kick a manager into gear.
11. Claude Puel - Leicester
Claude Puel: Stable
The Foxes manager has seemingly been under pressure ever since he joined Leicester, without ever really doing anything to warrant it.
However, his handling of the tragic events that have befallen the club in recent times will tie him indelibly to the fans and to the city.
10. Marco Silva - Everton
Job Security: Stable
Marco Silva has done a fine job since joining Everton. Wait, that reads wrong - he's been fine, of the alright/okay/decent variety.
Maybe his comfort levels would be higher if he possessed more than one managerial stint longer than a season in his six roles in management. Maybe.
9. Manuel Pellegrini - West Ham
Job Security: Stable
After a sloppy start, which wasn't really his fault, Manuel Pellegrini has got the Hammers back on track, sort of.
I've given him the stable label (great rhyme) because, to be honest, I fear for his own stability at the sincerely unstable east London side. By the looks of that picture, it's already getting to him. Stay strong Manuel, stay strong.
8. Javi Gracia - Watford
Job Security: Insecure
Remember when Watford were going to win the league after four games? That was great wasn't it. It was also ridiculous, as their six game win-less streak that proceeded it showed.
The Hornets are essentially a beta level Chelsea, but even more trigger-happy. Thus, you remain in a realm of insecurity until you are inevitably chopped. And Javi knows it, by the looks of things.
7. David Wagner - Huddersfield
Job Security: Insecure
It's not that I can see David Wagner getting sacked anytime soon. I can't, really.
It's just that his side haven't won a game yet this season and are thus rooted to the foot of the table, with four goals to their name after 10 games. That can't be secure.
6. Rafa Benitez - Newcastle
Job Security: Very Insecure
Poor Rafa, the first of our unsafe manages to be handed a 'Very'. It's got to be tough to take. To be honest, I don't get why it's the case - that Newcastle squad is surely insufficient - but who am I to go against the will of the people. I'm not a martyr.
5. Roy Hodgson - Crystal Palace
Job Security: Very Insecure
"What, me guv?!?" Roy said.
"Yes, you. You're a wrongun, Roy. And you're on thin ice, mate!" Steve Parish replied.
Or something like that. The point is, Roy's in trouble, whether you like it or not.
4. Neil Warnock - Cardiff
Job Security: Very Insecure
Neil Warnock tends not to make it through a Premier League season with his job intact, and when he does, he usually gets relegated anyway.
That's not great reading for the 69-year-old, and it's what makes his circumstances 'very insecure'. The thing is though, the club and fans both seem to love him, so that might be enough - even if Cardiff finish with single digits.
3. Jose Mourinho - Manchester United
Job Security: Precarious
Ahh, Jose 'The Precarious One'. It's the perfect evolution.
When he hits his third season at a club, which is not all that common, Mourinho's situation instantly takes on a perennial state of precariousness. It's just Mou's Law.
2. Mark Hughes - Southampton
Job Security: Precarious
Considering his weekly whingeing sessions with the press, you would've bet your house on Mark Hughes protesting this, wouldn't you.
I'm sorry, Mark, but you haven't scored in 982 home games at St Mary's, and that's got to catch up with you at some point.
1. Slavisa Jokanovic - Fulham
Slavisa Jokanovic: Under Review
Yikes. Under Review. It's a terrifying phrase. Spine tingling.
And it's where Slavisa Jokanovic is in his managerial reign. And it's fair enough. The Cottagers have conceded 28 goals so far, including four from the Bluebirds, who almost doubled their total tally with the haul.
Not only is Monday night's clash with Huddersfield a relegation six-pointer, it's a last chance saloon for the Serb. It promises to be a thrilling shoot-out.
