[Justice]

Very strange.

 

[The Wookiee]

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

Oh, and the obligatory 'Gus to Leicester?', obviously.

 

[scooter1]

Strange timing, unless it is indeed related to the incident involve his son

If that is the reason the father/son relationship will be a bit strained

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

not really Thai owner ,doesn't take much working out

 

[Lurchy]

Even more startling given Leicester's last 10 games under Nigel Pearson: LWWWWLWWDW Goals: 22 Conceded: 11 Points won: 22/30.

Also not the first time that he's been sacked by Leicester...

 

[spongy]

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.

 

[bhafc1976]

Bit harsh...can we have Ulloa back now?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Couldn't happen to a nicer weirder bloke

 

[BBassic]

Discounting his sons antics, that is a baffling decision.

 

[Mackenzie]

The Leicester forum could be worth a read later!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Guus Kiddink left his job as Dutch coach. Coincidence ?

Sod that, let's have 'Leo to Brighton'.

 

[Blackadder]

Very strange decision. They seemed to have hit form, albeit by accident. I had them down to be safe next season. Not sure now.

 

[Justice]

Might stop them sniffing around 20 goal Hemed in January.

I would imagine many other sackings have occurred with shakier reasons.

It's also complete conjecture at this point but, to add even more, what if he went crazy at the owner/whoever about the treatment of his son and crossed a line when doing so? Gross misconduct, goodbye.

I'm in no way saying that's what has actually happened but with some of his antics last season I wouldn't put some sort of blow-up past him.

Weird bloke maybe, but good manager imo, would be more than happy to have him as our boss

 

[Quinney]

Not going too feel too sorry for him, I'm sure he'll get a decent pay off.

Surely what he does with an inflatable sex toy in private is nobody's business but his?
