This may sound like people who don't really have a clue about football may not understand this. But the truth is, if written in a normal language, people may be able to relate this to their field. So, let's see..
Football is a sport built on the fact that there's always a team of 11 which is handled by a coach or a manager. The bigger the stage, the more it is that the manager has to do. Sometimes it becomes to great for the person to handle. This also varies from country to country. While in some of the biggest countries in the world, the managers for both club and country tend to always come under a lot of scrutiny. Which is probably the obvious thing as the football in these countries has been followed in such large numbers all over the world. England and Spain probably are the most sought after.
Generally, in football, like any other firms or even any sport, one of the most important factor is stability. That comes when you have a certain number of people always there working through the years, no matter what success or failure. Same is the case for football. If you have a manager who has been there for 26 years, and then the firm is forced to have a change because of retirement or any other reason, you tend to think that the successor should be given time to adjust and try to understand what it takes to succeed at that particular firm. He may fail, probably bring forth a huge crisis, but, given a certain period of time, he may be able to succeed.
Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager of Manchester United Football Club for more than 26 years. Being the manager for such a long time shows the true value of stability. He retired, was given a brilliant farewell, chose his own successor. Oh wait, yes, you heard it right. He chose the person named 'David Moyes'. He was a manager at a club called "Everton Football Club". This person wasn't really at a big club. As a matter of fact, he never won a trophy with that club. (For those who don't understand, winning a trophy is generally termed as success in Football) And thus began the journey towards the unknown, the uncertainty of success. Since it was such a long time, you never know what might happen. 10 months on, there's a probablity that he will get the "sack" or in normal terms, fired.
This is a bit of a shock considering its just been 10 months. If you compare that with the 26 and a half years before it, its not much. This brings the question I really want to ask - Is sacking really worth it? As a fellow Manchester United fan, even I understand that the quality of play has been poor and there has not been much to really look forward to. But understand this, a club can really reach greatness if there is stability. There has always been sacking, or you can say firing someone. Even in various companies, its not easy for them to work smoothly after firing someone on a higher position. You can say that this is pretty similar.
Aside from Manchester United, there are various football clubs which are prime examples of instability. Chelsea and Manchester City being prime examples. People may think that its easier to just change if you have the money. But it doesn't work all the time. There will always be a time when the club will fail miserably. For Manchester United, this probably might have been the time. If the manager is sacked, its just states that Manchester United have also joined the love affair with the sack. It may look like the best option at time, but its not the smartest and certainly at times, it may look the ugliest.
