Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson aware so many managers have either been axed or are fighting for the jobs, was reluctant to get too involved in the details but did accept these were difficult times for those at the helm of football clubs. Former Manchester United skipper Roy Keane got the bullet on Thursday while Ferguson's own son Darren was sacked by Preston last month.
Meanwhile, four Premier League bosses at Liverpool, West Ham. Aston Villa and Chelsea find themselves under pressure after a series of poor results.
Liverpool's Roy Hodgson actually takes the Reds to United in the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"We are in a situation where managers are getting fired or being threatened with getting fired, so there is no point in even discussing it," Ferguson said.
"It is a very difficult industry nowadays.
"I feel for the managers who are under pressure and the ones who have lost their jobs.
"But the LMA are the proper people to talk about it.
"They are doing a fantastic job and are representing the managers absolutely brilliantly."
