Former Manchester United Boss David Moyes is reported to be keen on taking charge of Aston Villa should Tim Sherwood pay for his side's struggles at the start of this season with his job.
But any Villa fans wanting to see Sherwood out and Moyes in may want to take a closer look at Real Sociedad's poor early-season form.
Sociedad lost at home to Atletico Madrid on Sunday with Antoine Griezmann and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco on target, leaving Moyes's side with just one win from their first eight games.
The Basque side are level on points with 18th-placed Levante with only a superior goal difference keeping them out of the bottom three in La Liga.
Sociedad have been strong at the back this season but have scored just six goals - only Malaga (three) and Granada (five) have found the net on fewer occasions.
And with the likes of surprise package Celta Vigo, Sevilla and Barcelona all to come over the next five league games, the pressure on Moyes is unlikely to ease off.
In fact, Moyes has scraped together just 11 wins in his 38 games in charge of Sociedad since taking over in November 2014 - a lower pecentage of games won than Sherwood since he replaced Paul Lambert in February 2015 - though Villa have lost 15 games under the former Spurs boss.
