Why Does Sacking the Manager Always Seem
So the Chosen One becomes the Last One and the hunt is on Saquon Barkley Jerseyfor the New One. Being objective, should David Moyes have gone? The argument that says yes is pretty compelling but from a football public relations point of view, what is le s interesting isnt whether he should go but the manner in which he departs. Getting rid of senior personnel is seldom pain-free but the le s me sy you make it, the better.We are used to seeing Manchester United do things very, very well; from winning silverware and attracting commercial initiatives, to managing their sport PR, this is a savvy club. Whilst the rest of English football seems to have a rotating door installed on the managers office, the Reds basked in the reputation of being a non-sacking club. So where did it all go wrong this time?As any club supplier or an employee in any other walk of life will know, longevity is not a right and should be earned; in no other organization would you see employment contracts without probation periods.
