I'm now many years into my game as manager of Sheffield Wednesday. We've been through many changes.
When I first started, all that was expected was for me to keep the club in the Championship, improve financies and obtain promotion within a few years.
Now, I'm expected to win the charity shield, win the Premiership, reach the final of the FA Cup, reach the final of the League Cup, win the European Super Cup and reach the semi final of the Champions League.
Every time I lose a game now, I expect the sack. It's not happened yet, but I can feel the board are poised with their knife. I just lost on penalties in the quarter final of the FA cup to Coventry. Even the fans are even wondering if I am losing my magical ablity (or something like that). I'm still on course for everything else but the press are stirring things up of course.
It's amazing how quickly expectations can change and how the great work of a manager can be forgotten.
Regarding the original post, that really sucks and I hope you make them suffer for it. This will be my goal, I'm still in the job, yet starting to get bitter about the board. I'm already planning my revenge.
