Also makes you have sympathy for chairmen when fans complain about them not backing their managers. The chairman has to look out for the long term interests of the club and know when to say no to the manager.Remember when Poch said Berahino was the only striker in the world he wanted? He certainly has previous. A very stubborn man.
Also makes you wonder how things might have turned out if Mitchel had of either stayed or been replaced. Clearly this was an area Poch struggled with.
