The Premier League's 'coach grinder' is picking up speed!

(Baonghean.vn) - The latest strategist currently working in the Premier League to officially lose his job is Tony Pulis after a series of poor matches for West Brom.

The Welsh coach's dismissal was not beyond the predictions of experts and fans. Since the beginning of the season, the team at The Hawthorns has continuously received extremely disappointing results. West Brom has no longer shown the image of a team with the most annoying playing style in the Premier League, but instead is weak and feeble.

The crushing 0-4 home defeat to Chelsea in the last round was the "last straw", forcing West Brom's board of directors to make the decision to fire Tony Pulis.

The Hawthorns owners' heavy-handed actions are normal in football and appropriate for West Brom's current situation. To save The Baggies - West Brom's nickname, the most familiar way is to fire head coach Tony Pulis.

It is not known whether West Brom will be able to escape successfully from now until the end of the season, but the atmosphere at The Hawthorns has changed dramatically. Fans of this team are waiting for the "change of general" effect from the successor - something that often happens in the king sport.

Up to now, the most prestigious tournament of the “foggy country” football has had a total of 5 coaches fired (Frank De Boer, Shakespeare, Ronal Koeman, Slaven Bilic). Thus, the Premier League 2017/2018 has only passed 12 rounds, the “coach mill” has really been operating at a terrible capacity.

Remember, last season, it wasn’t until round 25 (late February) that the list of sacked coaches reached 5 - that was Leicester City coach Ranieri. That means to reach the number of 5 sacked coaches, the Premier League this season only needed to lose nearly half the number of matches (12 matches) compared to the 2016/2017 Premier League (25 matches).

The most prestigious tournament in England has long been considered the most fierce in the world, and the coaching profession has never been recognized as a safe profession. But the frequency of firing coaches like the current Premier League is really worth discussing.

Patience seems to have become a luxury for the management and fans of football teams. The pressure of performance and the attitude of the players have turned the strategists into “scapegoats” whenever the team achieves unsatisfactory results.

Apart from the exceptional case of Coach Wenger, veterans like Mourinho, Ranieri... have all experienced the bitterness of being fired in the Premier League, despite the fact that a few months before they helped their team win the championship.

There will be more victims following Tony Pulis in regret. It could be Conte (Chelsea), Mark Hughes (Stoke City)... or David Moyes - who has just taken over as West Ham's captain. Pay attention, the Premier League's "coaching mill" is accelerating./.
