Derby County manager Nigel Pearson suspended


It follows a meeting between Pearson and Rams owner and chairman Mel Morris at the club's Moor Farm training ground on Monday afternoon.


News of the suspension broke hours before Derby County's Sky Bet Championship fixture against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight.

Derby County have suspended manager Nigel Pearson, who is seen here with another ex-Rams boss, Nigel Clough, before the 1-0 defeat by Burton Albion

Pearson's assistant manager, Chris Powell, will take charge of the team at Cardiff.

Club spokesman Paul Tyrrell said: "Derby County can confirm that manager Nigel Pearson will not be carrying out his duties at tonight's game - at the request of the club.

"Assistant manager Chris Powell will take charge of the team for tonight's Sky Bet Championship match at Cardiff City. The club will make no further comment at this time."

The Rams have made a disappointing start to the 2016-17 campaign. The home defeat by Blackburn Rovers on Saturday sent them into the relegation zone.

They have won only one of their nine league games this season under former Leicester City boss Pearson, who was appointed at the end of May.

Their home form has been particularly disappointing, having failed to win any of their five league games at the iPro Stadium, in which they have scored only one goal.

He's an absolute smarmy bell and needs a shoeing.

 

[SunKing]

Remember this? He's a bit of a loon like.

An odd man to be a football manager,he really has anger issues and i'm not surprised it well belly up.

Anyone see the footage of him insulting Leicester fans,telling one to die amongst other things and there was another clip of him verbally abusing a reporter.

How many managers have derby had in the last 5 seasons,seems to be a badly run club at board level.

Here's the video of him abusing Leicester fans.

Sack Pearson, win the league

Had to laugh the way some of the media were trying to claim he was partly responsible for the Leicester title win. FFS he almost killed them then won a few games and kept them up.

An absolute 'kin bellend who should be sectioned.

Hull City fans detest the bellend, and with good reason.

 

[Brendan Janus]

He was so angry he crushed a grape !!

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

He is an ostrich.

 

[Neiler]

Hillarballs!

 

[Blues Harp]

Another Fraud....

 

[Titus Bramble]

Could be one of the managers apparently being named in the Sam Allardyce investigation thing and Derby have heard about it?

 

[Donald Twain]

He makes me laugh!
