I for one don't necessarily have a problem with that, its a ruthless world out there, but why make statements like "we back the manager 100% and then sack him a fortnight later? Why not just be honest and keep quiet and do what you think necesssary?
Derby have been as guilty - sacking Clement when we were 5th must rank as a crass decision, no ****ing loyalty there and lets not go down the Derby gave McClaren a chance road, they only gave him a job because it was judged he was the best available at a price they could afford, not because they felt sorry for hi and wanted to resurrect his career or help him!!
