Was Herm fired because Pioli wanted to or because of the pressure from the press?

[siberian khatru]

Pioli is showing everyone that there's a new sheriff in town.

He's under no pressure at all from the media. In fact, it's the exact opposite: By freezing them out, he's demonstrating who has the power. They're all running around in the dark and squirming and crying about not knowing what's going on.

Carl cared way too much about the media. Pioli doesn't give a flying ****.
