Having been appointed on the September 8, 2022, on a five-year deal, following the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, the former Brighton boss ranks as the most sackable with 41.9% of tweets that mentioned Potter also containing the hashtag #potterout

Potter has been serially scrutinized for Chelsea’s lacklustre performances in the New Year, with Blues having picked up just one win in all competitions since the New Year.

Potter admitted the rising pressure after the third consecutive defeat in a row on Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur, as out of all Chelsea managers in the Premier League history he has the worst win record with just one win in their last 11 matches.  

2. David Moyes - West Ham

Following closely behind in second spot is West Ham United manager David Moyes with a total 40.78% of fans’ tweets wanting #moyesout. 

Moyes, previously the manager of Preston North End, Everton, Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland, initially re-joined West Ham on December 29, 2019 on an 18-month contract and then signed a new three-year contract in 2021.

 However his side has gained 23 points so far this season and earned victory in their last game against Nottingham Forest with a 4-0 win, just pushing the team out of the relegation zone into 16th place.  

3. Jürgen Klopp - Liverpool

 On October 8, 2015, Klopp agreed a three-year deal to become Liverpool manager, replacing Brendan Rodgers, and is currently at his third extension with the club which is set to run until the summer of 2026.

 Klopp’s accumulated 36 points so far for Liverpool and has secured the team seventh place in the Premier League table, just one point above Brighton.  

4. Antonio Conte - Tottenham Hotspur

The fans’ #conteout tweet percentage is at 3.52%, even with Spurs’ 2-0 victory against Chelsea on Sunday, gaining them 45-points and sitting fourth in the league.  

5. Mikel Arteta - Arsenal

Despite being top of the Premier League table, ranking in at fifth spot with 1.65% of fan tweets containing the hashtag #artetaout is Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta who was appointed the head coach on December 20, 2019 and has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until the end of the 2024/25 season. 

Arteta has led Arsenal to a huge 57 points this season, with wins over Everton, Aston Villa and Leicester despite suffering setbacks in recent weeks after defeats to Everton and Man City, so it’s likely that many of the tweets are using the hashtag ironically.
