Only four games to review in Week 30 of the Premier League as the FA Cup quarter-finals eat into the action; and Newcastle sack Steve McClaren and hire Rafa Benitez.

It was October that Liverpool sacked Brendan Rodgers, and I promised you six more managers would lose their heads by the end of the season. I have since predicted two of those to leave in the shape of Jose Mourinho, and Tim Sherwood – another of my predictions came true on Friday when Newcastle finally sacked Steve McClaren.

The former England manager only managed to win 7 of his 31 games in charge at St James Park. 24 points from 28 games is their most dismal performance in their Premier League history.

In 2008/09, Alan Shearer donned his cape and flew into Newcastle hoping to save his beloved team from relegation with eight games remaining. Former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez has ten games.
