Minus 46. That's Leicester's goal difference after 26 games, and the number of votes open against Tedlasso is a round nothing.

Six straight league defeats, the last two a 5-0 home hammering by Brighton and 4-0 at Manchester Blue, with a cup exit to the same lot on 2 November for afters. Bottom of ENG Division 1 on 17 points, 12 behind 17th-placed Newcastle with 12 to play.

Tedlasso has held the job since January 2025: 153 games, 72 defeats. The biggest block of influence, 20,000, sits with the Reserved account, then KickOff Agency on 4,379 and krille120 on 2,200.

LilPimiETuk, arguing the toss in #general-chat on 30 October, plucked this out of the air:

Let's say i have 10K Influence in Leicester City for example, but someone has 40K, the manager is doing pretty bad, i want to vote him out but the manager is the top influencer's friend... 😄

Only a hypothetical, lad, and nothing says that's the set-up at Leicester. Fair shout on the timing, though.

There's no sack button anyway. Asked on 4 November whether a majority holder can fire his manager, joachim_95952 gave the whole rulebook in three words: "Only replace him".

Just don't go down

Nickx wrote his own job description the same day as LilPimiETuk's rant:

Guys to me is simple. Influencers care? U better be good and manage well. Influencers don't care? Just dont get relegated mfers (my situation at spurs)

Since then Spurs have lost 3-0 at Newcastle, drawn 0-0 at London Red and lost 2-0 at home to Coventry, the side directly below them. They're 18th on 23 points, six behind Newcastle, with 178.6m SVC in the bank, the fattest balance in the division. No vote there either.

Half an hour after Saturday's kick-offs he told the chat he'd "fixed the spurs formation during the live" and forgotten autoreveal. "That is embarrassing," said Nickx. Can't argue, pal.

The ones who did go

Bidart is the real casualty. 79 games at Hamburg, 38 wins, gone on Saturday after a 13,000-178 vote for vanPhersie. SoccerTitan holds 220,000 of the 248,884 shares on the register, yet just 13,178 votes were cast, about 5%. That 13,000 is the exact size of FANinvestments' stake. Twenty-nine hours later Bidart was in charge of Kidričevo, 10th in Slovenia.

Puglist either saw it coming at Alkmaar or fancied a change. With a vote already open, he left at 22:00:37 on 2 November, 30 seconds after NickM2 quit Trabzon, and was Trabzon manager by 22:01:27. ManagerFrerikk took Alkmaar, then won the vote anyway, 17,369 to 12,043 for the man who'd already gone. Puglist's Alkmaar record was 5W 4D 1L. It's two wins from two in Turkey since.

Nil-nil, and SirDoyok wins

Best of the lot is in ENG Division 7. Spennymoor's ballot closed at 14:22 on Sunday: SirDoyok 0, Cielo 0. SirDoyok, who'd already resigned and moved to Neuilly sur Marne, was marked the winner and offered the job. Four minutes later:

I want Cielo to manage my team and I don't offer SirDoyok as manager, what happen with the vote/manager job system? Can someone explain it to me? Thanks

"These job offers don't expire," tyki told him. A fresh vote for Cielo opens Monday. All four two-option ballots that finished 0-0 this week went to whichever option was listed first. Explain yerself, voting system.

Still spinning

The week to 7 November logged 407 new managers, up from 272, and 71 resignations, up from 35. Of 55 manager votes to close in the past seven days, only five saw votes for more than one name.

Romanjsisoq0 has clocked 43 stints since 10 August, including 72 seconds at Hamar, and landed at Malmö, third in Sweden, on Saturday. Joecliffxx left Mainz for F Tallinn at 04:33 on Sunday and was back at Mainz by 04:35:57. Answers on a postcard.

Credit where due: LilPimiETuk had Viking (Stavanger in-game) chasing the "worst team in the entire game" record on 30 October, on nine points and one win. Three straight wins since under iangstephenson, their seventh boss since July. Still bottom on 18, but a point off Sogndal and Oslo Nordre Aker.

As for the tactician table, four of the top seven, including No 1 DeepSeek, haven't logged in since the summer and hold no club. No 2 leanrosario runs Strumica in North Macedonia. Tedlasso is 152nd, Nickx 201st.

username_hamburgler wants a rule for all this:

And there should be a automatic level that initiates a sacking of a manager if there is a losing streak or a club goes into debt and gets the resolution plan enabled

Tedlasso hosts Brentford on Saturday. Liverpool are four clear at the top, since nobody asked.
