BRIAN LAWS is on the brink of the sack at Burnley after just 10 league games in charge.
Clarets chiefs feel they have made a big error in appointing Laws, who has won just one, drawn one and lost EIGHT.
That disastrous run of form has plunged the club into the drop zone.
They are three points off fourth-bottom Wolves, who beat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday.
And the Clarets have played a game more than some of their major rivals.
They also went out of the FA Cup in the fourth round to Championship side Reading.
Former Sheffield Wednesday boss Laws, 48, signed a 2½-year contract on January 13 after Owen Coyle left for Bolton.
But following the Wolves defeat, chairman Barry Kilby decided it was time to act.
The Clarets are already in the process of looking for a replacement who can save them in their remaining eight games.
Burnley, who have earned just one point in 15 away games this season, travel to Wigan on Saturday and entertain East Lancashire enemies Blackburn on Sunday week.
And their tough run-in includes home clashes with Champions League chasers Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham.
Fellow strugglers Hull City fired Phil Brown on Monday.
Fans already starting to turn on the man they didn't want in the first place.
