Karren Brady may have given an insight into David Gold and David Sullivan’s sacking policy whilst avoiding any of those employed at West Ham!
Writing in her Sun diary she says: ” There isn’t a chairman in the country who likes to sack a manager. After all, to do so suggests he was wrong to appoint him in the first case.
On the other hand it requires faith to stand by your man when the fans are baying outside your door.
So we come to Alan Pardew at Crystal Palace and Bob Bradley at Swansea, whose ailing sides meet this weekend.
Saturday’s result could see the ultimate penalty for either. The question for the chairmen is if a sacking will work?
That is the easy part — it’s the replacing with better that’s the hard bit.
Far be it from us to be cynical of this particular observation but given all the discussion over Slaven’s position perhaps the timing leaves something to be desired.
