Im guessing Nigel wasn't happy about it and kicked it up and probably went too far with it
Possibly. Maybe he called someone an ostrich.
Seems a really awkward time to sack him, why let him sign a couple of players? Surely either him going right at seasons' end or straight after the Thailand incident would've made more sense.
I told them he'd be gone soon, it was obvious the owners patience would be wearing thin.
