Bonkers decision.

He'll be walking the dog past our house again now.

Not even the traditional "... we would like to thank ..." there. 

I guess he'll get (another) year's pay & another job in a few month's time.

Being sacked as a premier league manager must be a great gig. Well paid. Anyone can do it. Pretend your gutted to keep you in the loop. Rinse and repeat. I secretly bet he’s delighted.

He's a bit angry that he only got 12 games, the squad were adapting & seeing some light.

He's fully angry that they told him in a phone call at home. 

But, & I'll assume he's not the highest paid, but even the lower ones are on £2m pa, plus. Let's say that & another assumption that he'll get a years notice. He's been sacked twice recently ... so from a wage of £2m plus that twice for sackings, he's pulled close to £8m for 2 season's work.

Surprised he lives in a perfectly pleasant 6 bed 100 yards from me.

Probably can argue he wasn’t given time. Off to the next one. Good luck to him

That's a bit bold.......

Celebrity managers....imagine all those social media likes and hits they'll get.

Another team that's changed its name temporarily, they won't be referred to as Leicester any more.

I presume that by celebrity, you mean a former high profile player.

I know he didn't have a long time at the crumbling theatre, but he did pretty well.

He has also had a short period of management previously- dunno if he was any good though.

Very much the curate's egg. Some success followed by big fall outs. A lot of politics & player fall-outs.
