Spooky Season: Why the Stats Suggest the End Could Be Nigh for a PL Manager This Halloween

Halloween is very nearly upon us, and some new data suggests that it should be a particularly spooky one for Premier League managers. If the stats are to be believed, then someone's got to go on October 31st.

That's according to the good folk at bet-bonus-codes.co.uk, who have done some research and discovered that over the last ten years, the average date for the first Premier League managerial sacking comes 80 days in - and this year, that lands on Halloween.

Statistically, Crystal Palace's Roy Hodgson looks like a surprise front-runner to be in for a fright on Wednesday.
