"I don't think he's going to be here next season," he said on the Gary Neville Podcast.
"We've thought it for six or seven months.
"And that's not because we don't want him here, or we don't think he's done a great job, it's just the nature of the job here. It's such that when you have a season slightly worse than before, you go.
"It ends up becoming a bit messy, press conferences become the boardroom versus manager, it's happened here many, many times.
"It has been a successful club over 10 or so years, but in the second seasons, it's never been great.
“In terms of the outcome, you can't complain about what they've done here.

“But the managers who come here know they've got a short period of time."
Speaking after the defeat, Conte insisted he had no worries about his job.
He said: "I don't know, I don't know. I don't know about this, but we didn't speak about a project.
"I don't know, you have to ask the club, not me. I repeat, my task is to work, and I know that I work, 24 hours, for Chelsea, me and my staff.
"This is our task. Then the club has to take the decision. But I repeat, I am not worried about this."
