Pearson sacked

[Justice]

Sam Allardyce the early favourite at 7/2, followed by Neil Lennon at 6-1 and Esteban Cambiasso, Martin O'Neill & Sean Dyche at 10's.

What is it with Neil Lennon christ I could win the Scott prem with Celtics budget.

Sack your manager on the 1st day of training?
Clearly have someone already lined up.

Would have a case for unfair dismissal then? I'm not particularly aufait with managerial contracts but sacking due to a family link is a tad harsh.

Almost Every Manager sacked is ''Unfair Dismissal'' That's why clubs pay compensation greater than they would be entitled to were it to go to tribunal because when clubs want to change manager, they do not even consider the legality of it. They just do it and pay the compensation.

However, Pearson is one of the few Managers that a club could have got rid of for free if they had acted on his behaviour during the season. This is definitely related to the incident with his son. He is just the type of guy who would try and defend the racist behaviour of his son

Lennon has achieved nothing major in terms of management but what his agent does is release stuff to the press that he is in the running for the job which in turn shortens the Bookies odds and hence for no reason at all gets his name in the papers. Malky Mackays agent used to do the same

Hope he gets a job in poundland the cu*t

Gus to the Walkers ? I'd be HAPPY if we SACKED the DULLARD and got Pearson here

Good call,
We could also sing his son,then instead of lickers we'd have rimmers.

No idea why people rate him so highly. He did have some great European moments with Celtic but he's hardly shown himself to be a decent league manager yet.

Maybe it's because he satisfies the PASSION crowd?

 

[OzMike]

Surely not a good footballing decision.
He is the coach, but not ultimately responsible for the idiot players behaviour.
They got sacked and I think should lose their playing permits for at least a couple of seasons.

Could do a job..................................someone had to.

 

[crabface]

The BBC now reporting it is related to the incident envolving his son.

 

[Mattywerewolf]

They stuck with him through thick and thin. He then does the impossible and he's sacked. Pearson's stock is sky high, he's laughing

I'm sure i've described Pearson before using the words 'stock' and 'laughing'....

Lennon played for Leicester & apparently is well thought of there..2+2 =5.

I'd agree that, as yet, he hasn't done enough to justify a premier league manager's job.

 

[symyjym]

Something to do (directly or otherwise) with the incident with his son in Thailand?

I don't think the incident could be ignored and it's probably the straw that broke the camels back. If there is any Dev player who should be a model pupil, I would suggest that the manager's son should be it.

 

[daveinprague]

Sacked via phone call? Classy.

 

[fat old seagull]

I'm surprised he lasted that long in view of his behavioural history. And when his son goes to his bosses country and publicly degrades its citizens what could you expect?
Influential Thais are very, very sensitive of their countries image to the World. It would have been not only embarrassing for Khun Aiyawatt and their family, but also costly in terms of Leicester City revenue from Thai supporters in their Kingdom.

Classy? I doubt 'classy' would bother Pearson, he's devoid of it.
