Football manager who needs it?

Who would be a football manager?
Last year Sligo won the Connacht championship for the first time since 1975, this season under a new manager Tommy Jordan they have been relegated to Division 4.
It must be a nightmare for Jordan, no new manager sets out to get relegated, ask Kieran McGeeney who has started his term in office with Kildare on the way down.
However, Jordan is climbing a mountain as a defeat in the first round of the Connacht championship against Mayo who have been motoring well, then Sligo will be immediately condemned to the Tommy Murphy a fate worse than death.
No one needs to tell Jordan how big a task he has ahead but to top off what has been a bad week for Sligo football, he has been given a vote of confidence by the county chairman.
Wonder what odds I would get at the bookies that Jordan will not be in charge next season unless Mayo are rolled over.
