With Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future in doubt, it seems as though Ed Woodward may be forced to act in the coming weeks to appoint a replacement.
Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to take over, with the MEN reporting that the Red Devils had already made contact with his representatives.
Of course, for a club to appoint a new boss before their current manager's deal is up, he must be sacked and compensated.
For a side like Chelsea, who have gone through 12 different managers since 2004, this can become very expensive, very quickly.
The Blues have spent an eye-watering £94.6 million on departing bosses since Jose Mourinho ended his first spell at the club in 2007.
Carlo Ancelotti's was the most expensive with Chelsea forced to pay out £28m in total, while Antonio Conte's £26.6m package also broke the bank.
Mourinho's initial departure set the club back by £23m, whereas his sacking in 2015 cost £8.3m.
Current Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo, who won the only UEFA Champions League title in the club's history back in 2012, cost the club £4.7m and £4m respectively when they were sacked.
Roman Abramovich 's total bill is considerably higher than Woodward's, which stands at £33m since he undertook his role as executive vice-chairman eight years ago.
Mourinho was United's most expensive sacking, with costs totalling £19.6m.
The club paid £8.4m to remove Louis van Gaal in May 2016, while Sir Alex Ferguson's immediate successor David Moyes forced the Red Devils to shell out £4.9m when he was dismissed after just ten months as manager.
It remains to be seen if or when Solskjaer will become the next managerial casualty at Old Trafford, but it could be expensive for the 20-time Premier League champions with their Norwegian boss contracted until June 2022.
