Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill believes that the recent events surrounding the replacement of Mark Hughes as Manchester City manager by Roberto Mancini show just how different football is from the rest of the working world.
O'Neill feels that Hughes was doing a solid job at Eastlands and deserved more time.
However, he also accepts that the game is by its nature very fickle.
"Manchester City had lost less games in the Premier League than anyone else," he said, according to Press Association Sport.

"Manchester City had lost less games in the Premier League than anyone else," he said, according to Press Association Sport.
"I can accept the fact that they may well have drawn some games they should have won.
"But this idea that you step in and be given some money to spend and you turn things round immediately, just wouldn't happen in any other business.
"It wouldn't be accepted in any other business.
"There should be some sort of parallel drawn with football but we accept now there isn't and there is no such thing any more.
"I've heard there was talk the manager (Mancini) had been speaking to City some weeks before.
"Mark Hughes had taken the team into the League Cup semi-final, the first visit they had made there for 20 odd years, and so it (football) can be pretty fickle."
