Would any other owner do that? He would want this to happen on his terms. Maybe the pressure from the fans has delayed the firing of Pioli. He might already have been fired were it not for the amount of pressure he faces. Just something to think about.

It's an interesting thought, Mr. KCFaninSEA. And possibly true.
Still, Clark has plenty of reasons to fire Pioli that have nothing to do with "fan pressure". If you follow the cause/effect flow in this circumstance, the fans wouldn't be angry had Pioli done the job he was hired to do in the first place.
Pioli's judgment has been arguably horrible since day one which is demonstrated by our record. Clark can avoid appearing weak simply by citing the reasons for moving on ... namely that the team is less competitive now than they were 4 years ago. Were he to make the decision, he would appear stronger ... not weaker. And, most importantly, he would be viewed as an owner with a higher commitment to winning than to personal relationships or merely short-term financial gain.
