Possibly Pep is the only manager at the minute who has the ultimate job. Other than that anyone is sackable.  But Pep has never won the CL with City.

I can yeah but there’s context.. when you dominate domestically you get some leeway when it comes to the hardest competition of them all.

While I'd be very surprised if Brentford sacked Thomas Frank, even if they got relegated. But you're right, aside from those three, it's a ridiculously precarious job, even more so as you go down the divisions, with the Championship being an absolute nightmare - average tenure now something like 9 months?. If Liverpool can sack Kenny Dalglish; than anyone can be sacked

Very different circumstances, dynamics etc. in US Sport.  Oh I agree, but you'd imagine Boehly might still have been inclined to give him until, say, the January window, or at least the World Cup break?

had it been another year where Arsenal, Spurs and United were so poor that CFC just had to be better than them to make top 4, he may have got longer

With those 3 on the rise and with shocking performances against Leeds & Southampton, team no aggression, cleansheets/solid defense that defined the champions league win no longer there and no penetration up front, I can see why they pulled the trigger, they just shelled out 3.5 billion and not making top four is really not an option and would put them back 3/4 years
