The Managerial Sack Race

[Saveloy]

I pity the carpathian mountain wolves who pick a fight with Nigel this summer. They won't like him when he's angry.

Fat Sam and Dyche 5/1

Martin O'Neil and Di Matteo 7/1

What a choice

at the edge of the pavement...mind the gap

Strange sacking considering he did his job and kept them in the PL. Wonder if a deal had already been thrashed out to bring in the footballing genius that is Fat Sam Alladyce

[ChesterDave]

Wouldn't be surprised if he was kicking off that they sacked his son.

[RichC]

Forgotten about his son being sacked, could well be a factor

The club had just sacked his son for making a racist sex video whilst on a 'good will' tour of the owners home country. He'd also clearly been an embarrassment over the season.

[RichC]

Indeed, I'd forgotten about the son's incident clearly a major factor in his removal

[Maxiedge]

****ing hell, I wouldn't want to be his son right now

Seems his son was quite fortunate that his old man was in the management game.

According to Wiki, James Pearson was released by Rotherham in 2009 and joined City in 2012.

Of course, released could mean that he decided to walk away from his contract, but it seems a little Steve and Alex Bruce to me.

Then there was the ostrich interview, him throttling that player on the touchline..... the start of the season...

Yep. I think SSN said something this morning about not being able to have a working relationship with him any longer, so clearly it isn't to do with results on the field.

That's fair enough.

Allardyce?
