Fulham tipped to sack Alvaro Arbeloa - and this is when

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness predicts Fulham will sack manager Alvaro Arbeloa during November's international break despite recent wins, citing relegation concerns.

Keith Wyness, former Everton chief executive, believes Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa is unlikely to survive beyond the November international break despite the team's recent back-to-back victories over Hull and Coventry that lifted them out of the relegation zone.

Wyness told Football Insider that Fulham's hierarchy are already "looking over their shoulder" at the bottom of the Premier League table and concerned about the strength of the newly-promoted clubs. He argues it is too much of a risk for owner Shahid Khan to keep Arbeloa in place given the tight relegation battle this season.

"I still don't expect Arbeloa to last later than November. I think the move will happen in the next international break in November," Wyness said. Fulham face crucial fixtures against Aston Villa and Newcastle United before the mid-November break, which could determine Arbeloa's future. Former Manchester United scout Mick Brown has suggested Vitor Pereira, who recently left Nottingham Forest, is keen to take the Fulham job.
