Premier League managers are rallying together to bring in a radical new rule that will mean that the division’s top bosses – much like the players – can only be sacked and replaced during transfer window periods, as reported by The Sun. 

As things stand, there are no restrictions as to when managers can face the axe – with clubs in the top tier able to do so at their will. 

Whether it be five games in, around the Christmas period or on the final day, managers are hard done by in comparison to players.

As such, some of the most experienced Premier League chiefs want the LMA to lobby for a change in relations to when clubs are able to part ways with the managers as they believe rules for management and playing staff should be aligned. 

However, transfer windows are well established in the beautiful game for players – and it may be unlikely that clubs would give up their right to dismiss them at their disposal.

Many of the managers plying their trade in the Premier League are under the common assumption that mid-season dismissals are too easy for clubs and believe it would be better if they could only be axed in the summer transfer window or in January.

Players from all corners of the globe – not only in England’s top tier – are only allowed to move between clubs during the summer and winter windows and, the bosses currently in charge, reportedly, believe having a similar approach for them would minimise the number of sackings across the season. So much so that one leading Premier League boss has exclaimed 'it should be the same for us'.

“Players have contracts and rules that mean they are not moved outside of the windows. It should be the same for us.”

Although the EFL sees the biggest turnover in managerial personnel, an array of Premier League managers can find themselves in the spotlight, often due to a torrid run of results or performances.

Erik ten Hag of Manchester United and West Ham United custodian David Moyes are among the names that have come under fire this term – and, as such, they would benefit from the new proposed rule.

As would the rest of the top flight crop who would be handed more wiggle room to iron out frailties before the upcoming transfer window.
