Simmo said:Chip and Chase said:The death knell for any coach under the pump is when the club publicly state that the coach has the full support of the board.
I would hardly call Des a "coach under the pump".
I didn't mean to infer Des was under the pump in terms of performance, I was just pointing out the invariably when a club publicly "fully supports" their coach you can almost guarantee that they will be shown the door shortly after. If the situation is all rosy and hunky dory then no public show of support is required, is it ?
