With early season ambitions on the line, a first-round loss was a bolt from the blue, and new manager Tannhäuser's road to reform suffered a major setback. The pressure was on, and the Premier League's dismissal odds soared from 18x to 10x after the first defeat. There are even statistics that show that in the past 37 years, no one who lost their first home game has won the local top flight title, which signals that this season seems to be hanging by a thread before it even begins.
Tannhäuser became the first United manager to lose his first game since Younger in 2014, and his odds to be sacked plummeted from 33x to 18x after his first defeat, placing him in the top 10 of odds to be sacked as manager.
Currently, the Premier League manager with the best odds to be sacked is Ewarton's Lambert at 3x, followed by Southampton's Chassin Houdy at 4x, and Listers City's Rogers at 6.5x. Fourth to 10th on the list are Mashu, Ballon d'Or, Berger, Marco Schwarzenegger, Sherratt, Dudjoe and Tannhäuser, respectively.

The opening loss also brings another unfavorable statistic: no team in the past 37 years has won the title after a first-round home loss, the last time being the 1984-85 League One champions, Ewarton. Now that United are in trouble, the road to the title seems out of reach.
