BREAKING " NIGEL PEARSON SACKED "

Nigel Pearson has left Bristol City with immediate effect after being relieved of his role as manager.

City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “This was a difficult decision to make as we recognise and appreciate how much Nigel has done for the club over the past two-and-a-half years on and off the pitch.

“Nigel is highly respected by the staff and players and has been very supportive of the Academy structure and our Women’s team.

“We all wanted Nigel to achieve our ambition to be promoted but, with our recent results, feel that now is the time to make a change to give the club the best possible chance of success.”

First Team Coach Jason Euell and Head of Medical Performance Dave Rennie have also left the club.

Assistant Manager Curtis Fleming will take on the role of interim head coach, supported by Ali Hines and Kalifa Cissé as the club seek a new Head Coach.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.
Bellend.

I bet their forum is going into meltdown!

Guys I work with are fuming with the decision, shame I'm not in work for a while, love winding the carrot crunchers up.

Haha chat shit get banged Nigel

Haha class , what a horrible miserable tw*t he is , proper hates Cardiff that one

I bet this will be our fault, too...! It's certainly never his...!

Tried to deflect in his comments yesterday and it didn't work...

Surprised at sime Robin's comments, as only last week they were calling him a mid-table 'hawker' and nothing more...

He obviously knew he was finished yesterday hence the sour grapes comments. Another ageing dinosaur that's hopefully is washed up. To be fair to Bristol I thought they played well with their injuries. Not sure what else their board expects?

The Wurzles forum is a thing of beauty at the moment, do hop over there if you fancy a laugh. Oooaaaar.

City gave him the Bullet yesterday

My mate from over the bridge is well happy he's gone. Said he should have gone a while back.

Could take over our U21s as a step up

Little Lee is such a visionary, only he knew he was talking about the Womens game though.....

And good news after his comments

Normally I hate to see anybody lose their job but in the case of this chump I'm delighted to make an exception.

I didn't mind him and wasn't upset by his comments,probably just trying to save his job as the continued lack of success finally told.To me they are a selling club that haven't really got a pot to piss in.I don't think as a club their owners are as ambitious as their fans would like them to be and it's hard to see where they can improve without investing in players.The next guy that goes in there will do well if he secures funds to improve them.

Think they’re trying to keep up with or be better than Bristol Rovers lol

Last year in the same week Rovers announced Barton City announced Pearson, this year in the same week Rovers sack Barton and City sack Pearson….. talk about trying to keep up with and annoy your neighbours….

Always be careful what you chat during interviews as it will always come back and bite you

Can’t remember who it was but when one of their subs came on he passed a piece of paper prob with a tactics message on to another of their players who promptly threw it on to the pitch without even looking at it, shows how much the players thought of Pearson!

I take no pleasure in a manager getting the sack but am prepared to make the odd exception
