The owners of an English Premier League club (West Ham United) that battled relegation for much of last season and kept their place in the top flight by the skin of their teeth fire their manager at season's end. They then hire a new manager (and a perennial underachiever) whose last team (Portsmouth) actually finished bottom of the league and were relegated.
So 4 games into the new season the Hammers are bottom of the table with 0 points and a -10 goal difference.
Genius!
