As the Premier League enters its business end, it signifies that the resumption of the managerial merry-go-round is not far away from spinning again. While some clubs sprang a surprise last term and seem to have their hierarchical structures firmly in place, the unforgiving nature of top-flight football ensures that not every manager will see out the campaign unscathed.
