If this is true, then it's even less professional that my already jaded view of the morons running the club would have ever believed.
It's very poor to sack him by phone - crass and shows a complete lack of respect - though be honest is anyone suprised?
And very likely untrue. Cotterill attended a press conference yesterday at 12pm as usual, the press were then informed of another press conference at 2pm and the media were then informed of Cotts sacking at that time and asked to hold the news back until an official statement had been presented. This has been told to me by a media source.!
This would tend to add up- Say that he took training on Thursday as normal but decision had been reached on Wednesday- Cast your mind back to the crowd incident on Tuesday and I wouldn't mind betting that this had as much to do with it as anything else
If that is the case I hope the culprit responsible wallows in utter shame. Hope he stays away in future
