Former Bristol City manager Derek McInnes believes the Robins board went against their word when he was sacked and could have had a more proactive role to support him during his time at Ashton Gate.
The 50-year-old Scot spent 15 months at City before a 4-0 home defeat against Leicester in January 2013, leaving them bottom of the Championship, was enough for McInnes to receive the sack.
McInnes took charge in October 2011 becoming their fourth manager in 19 months after Gary Johnson, Steve Coppell and Keith Millen and helped guide the club to Championship survival following an eight-game unbeaten run towards the end of the season.
