A vote of confidence is issued to a manager who will shortly be sacked. As with many phrase applied in a footballing context, a vote of confidence means the opposite of its literal translation. When there is regular speculation in the media over the future of a struggling manager, a club will always issue the dreaded vote of confidence. This process allows the club’s directors to find a new manager while stressing their ‘complete faith’ in the hapless incumbent.
