Everton boss David Moyes
believes it's time managers started interviewing chairmen before
they take charge of clubs.
The Scot fears Mark Hughes's
departure from Manchester City
last month, plus Gary Megson's sacking by Bolton Wanderers, is evidence that clubs are
wavering at the first sign of pressure.
"Managers get interviewed for jobs but I think it should be the
managers who are interviewing the chairman," Moyes told the
Guardian. "If you have a good, stable chairman who
understands things that's better so the manager should be able to
find out what the chairman is about, what his expectations are,
when does he crack, is he on the phone moaning after every defeat,
how interfering is he?
"Obviously there is a pressure to stay in the Premier League. Whoever is near the bottom and is
not doing well, and I can put myself in that category at times this
season, you come under pressure. Some managers are doing really
well who are at the bottom of the league. With the resources they
have got, they are doing the best they can so there has to be an
appreciation of that.
"Finances have played a part, but then to sack a manager costs
money and to get a new one costs money. They say they're skint
until they have to get rid of one and then they're happy to find
the money to get things moving."
