The Premier League side is expected to make the firing official in the coming hours. That would be the 1st dismissal in the EPL since the start of the campaign as that would come in December, in contrast to the past campaign as Bournemouth fired Scott Parker in August 2022 after only 4 matches. Paul became the Blades manager in November 2021, inking a 4-and-half season contract.
