Does anyone know the circumstances? there are laws against just sacking someone.
surely NP would be able to sue for wrongful dismissal - Mind you, being a football manager doesn't fall within the lines of a 'normal job'....
Oh to be a fly on the wall at NP's house at christmas dinner!
 
Apologies for the delay chaps. I was out playing petanque last night.


My thoughts;
What a bloody cock up. Nigel would have taken us to the next level, I have absolutely no doubt. One can only hope of an Adkins > Pochettino scenario but I can't see it.

Dyche and Allardyce can do one. Especially Dyche.

Martin O'God won't and shouldn't come back.

Lennon isn't experienced enough.

The likes of Klopp and Hiddink aren't going to happen for obvious reasons.


We've imploded, I don't think anyone realises the impact it's going to have on us. It's utterly disgraceful that a FOOTBALL manager can be sacked for non-football matters that DIDN'T EVEN INVOLVE HIM!! <laugh>

I have somehow managed to gain even more respect for Nige though. He's clearly backed his kid in this situation, as all good parents would.

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.

Worth noting that the Pat Murphy knows the square root of **** all and has a clar agenda against Pearson.

I wouldn't take any notice if If were you until facts come out rather than his worthless opinion.
 
Pearson will walk into anther job. His arrogance won't hinder that fact as clubs who are ****t g themselves look for an instant fix. Hated the **** when he left us,but credit where its due,he kept Leicester up,and did it in style in the end.

A manger has responsibilities that extend far beyond footballing matters, if you want someone in charge of purely the football then hire a head coach.

If he has stuck up for his son then fair play to him family comes first, but by doing so he is defending racist and misogynistic behaviour, you can't have a figure head of the club doing that.

I suspect this was just a convenient way to get rid of him rather than this actually been the cause of his sacking though.
