The way speculation increases dramatically in December and January is a sign of how transfer windows become the 'crunch time' for Chairmen to decide if they are willing to keep their faith in a manager to lead their club to success.<br /><br />Micheal, you are absolutely right. People should not be so quick to over sympathise with managers. They jump ship when a better offer comes along (look at Owen Coyle or indeed Hodgson himself) and they get handsome pay-offs if they are sacked. As you say, both sides are well aware of the way things are run.Dominic Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873610807787984958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55636410663420272.post-11905012673962210112011-01-03T09:16:23.597+00:002011-01-03T09:16:23.597+00:00Works both ways, I suppose.

If Hodgson does get the sack, he'll have his pay-off to tide him over until he finds a new job. <br /><br />As you say, it's all about results. Both sides - owners and managers - should know by now what they're getting into.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11492434940865733042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55636410663420272.post-57721557904264379192011-01-02T16:06:05.817+00:002011-01-02T16:06:05.817+00:00Born in the early 70s, in my mind managers getting...Born in the early 70s, in my mind managers getting sacked is simply a fact of football life, what seems to have changed in the professional game is the way they are now structured around the transfer window with Chairman making a conscious decision to either back the existing manager or go for a new one in DecemberStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781329290360321936noreply@blogger.com
