    Was thinking of putting a bet on earlier in the sack race market, was 10:1 earlier

    Last throw of the dice

    Laughing stock if true

    I love this club, but the Pozzos fully deserve to experience relegation. This is a disgusting decision, complete laughing stock of a club.

    Really, what is the point of this with just 2 games to play?!! We're going down irrespective so if you're gonna sack him sack him in 2 games time.

    My first thought was Mullins & Stack again for the final two games and a new appointment dependent on which league we're in next season. With Southampton winning it's still not nailed on we'll be in the Championship.

    I'm hoping a managerial clear out will be followed by a squad overhaul and the Pozzo's approach changing slightly as to how they build a squad.

    Saves paying the bonus he’s due if we stumble to survival though.

    I took some time and calmed down. And now feel I was being way too trigger happy. Having thought about it I think the owners and the players are to blame, not him (though his tactics have baffled me at times).

    Seems like Pozzos/Duxbury haven't calmed down.

    I don't rate him, but thoroughly bizarre with two games to go.

    More madness from our mental ownership. At such a crucial stage of the season. Morons our owners. Morons. Demoralize the players those that were playing for him. Idiots our owners. Losers. Probably spoke some harsh truths and has been removed.

    *****s like Giraldi stay.

    As I’ve said, I wouldn’t have kept him him on personally - but wouldn’t have been against it. But the timing is just odd.

    As much as his tactics etc are a large part of his sacking, this bunch of players should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, closely followed by the owner.

    Confirmed by Leventhall

    Think something happened before the West Ham game, the way the players came out wasn't right. They're ****, but not that ****.

    Best commentary moment ever there. "That Saints goal will have brought a smile to the face of Nigel Pearson". Pause. "Well he was having a nice lunch but I'm hearing Nigel Pearson has just been sacked."

    Giraldi to step up as first team coach, lead us to thumping wins over City and Arsenal and shut all you doubters up. In Filipo we trust

    Which players were playing for him? Sarr and Hughes. The rest did no such thing.

    Wow. I’ve not agreed with some of his selections and it would seem like there’s an issue but ..... wow.

    Here we go again then.

    I’d support Mullins for 2 games.

    This should have happened after the Southampton game, if they were going to do this.

    It's absolutely ridiculous to do this now. An insane decision. I really can't believe they've done this.
