Stuart Pearce has slammed the way managers in England are treated and has called for a transfer window to be implemented for coaches as well as players.
Pearce's own future at the City of Manchester Stadium has been the subject of much speculation over the past week following the Citizens' 4-0 thrashing by Wigan last weekend.
"At the moment, the game is quite farcical," said Pearce. "I have seen a lot of ups and downs but it seems to be accelerating out of all control.
"This week it is Alan Pardew, next week it could be Iain Dowie, it was Stuart Pearce the week before, Gareth Southgate the week before that.
"It is a ridiculous trend. Maybe somewhere in the future, if you are going to move managers on, you will have to do it during the transfer window.
"Then at least people would have the chance to get on with their job a little bit."
