Nigel's Done One

I'm glad someone did it.

 

I don't think it's anything to do with his son.
The owners would have wanted to know what his plans were for the coming season and his attitude would have been that he had a great end of season and they should accept anything he says. The only thing any owner can do when somebody gets too big for their boots is to get rid.

 

I guess I can stop giving a **** about them now.

 

That's a joke, right?

 

I think Carver has made himself unemployable.

 

Despite being a favourite of mine I think Brian Clough was admired and detested in equal measures by many especially at the FA, hence him never becoming manager of England. But I wasn't trying to compare the two men only their attitudes to the media people in general, who at times are unbelieably crass.

 

I hope they get SB now.

 

The BBC disagree with you. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33339566

Nigel Pearson: Leicester boss's sacking linked to son's actions
Nigel Pearson's sacking by Leicester was linked to his son's role in a racist sex tape in the owners' homeland of Thailand, the BBC has learned.

Pearson's son James was one of three trainees dismissed by the club for their involvement in the tape.

The issue was the final straw in the deteriorating relationship between the owners and Pearson.

BBC Sport's Pat Murphy has learned that the 51-year-old's sacking was "definitely not a football issue".

Murphy said that the Thai owners acted because they were concerned about damage to the club's reputation, while a Leicester statement said the relationship between Pearson and the board was "no longer viable".

Murphy added: "There is no doubt that the image and the reputation of the club in their homeland of Thailand has been damaged by the behaviour of, among others, the manager's son James on the 'goodwill' tour to Thailand."

Pearson was involved in several high-profile incidents last term, includingcalling a journalist an "ostrich" and clashing with Crystal Palace's James McArthur, but ended the season in superb form as seven wins and a draw over their last nine games averted relegation from the Premier League.

Despite the success on the pitch, Murphy says the incident involving Pearson's son was "the straw broke the camel's back" for the club's billionaire owners, father and son Vichai and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha.

 

Yes they should. The manager sets the standards expected and the culture within the playing staff

 

Has Nigel got a new job already?

 

at least ACKJ will have to change his signiture

 

Poor lad is in shock. He has disappeared from our board forever.

 

If Pearson has been sacked has a consequence of his son's actions then the compensation will very likely be huge. I don't see how an employer can sack anybody for the actions of somebody else in a situation that has nothing to do with them. If it was linked then why not sack him around the same time?
