What happens drew is that somebody posts their assumption that this is the reason he was sacked, other people then read this and accept it as an established fact.

If Martin had 'Twatted' someone I seriously doubt the players would have come out for the team talk at the end of the tunnel, I also imagine some of the players would have gone for Martin (Kisnorbo loves a good fight).
It seems pretty clear that there is far far more to this than we currently know, but until the inevitable PM starts going around we will just have to wait to find out.

Well yes, that's one way of dealing with them.

When it does... I'd like one please
Me too!
On a serious note though - if he had punched someone (i.e. Clive) then Martin would currently be sitting in one of Nottingham's lovely police stations.
For a few days now I have been saying why the rumours of an impending dismissal were VERY likely to be true and why the press should have been taken seriosuly on this one. As the poster above says, the media 'got their sources right on this one'. I pointed it out and the reasons in advance. I wish it wasn't so, but it was and is.
The club will move on, but at this point in time I am very much opposed to this decision. We can all be sure the dismissal was not for football reasons, it was for 'things behind the scenes' as many have said here (& John Barber too on RL). If the much muted 'things behind the scenes' equate to MM having real evidence that MA was 'a mad dog' for real, then this decision can be justified. But after just 3 league games one is left wondering just WHAT could have been so alarming about MA's behaviour so soon to merit this very speedy decision. And if there was nothing very much, then it could only have largely been down to the owner's clash of wills with the manager.

MA is a pit-bull/Jack Russell cross. MM is a Doberman. The first can be attractive, showy and apparently friendly, if aggressive at times, is mouthy,does amusing tricks, but is pretty stupid and apt to bite when it's best to stay in muzzle. The second is canny, measured, and deadly when crossed. These two dogs are best placed in different kennels.
I don't for a moment think that something physical went on last night. But I have a shrewd suspicion,more than that, that something else did.
The Doberman had to act quickly, because the damage was maybe getting too costly. So it grabbed a throat.
I don't like either of them.
I feel sorry for the mongrels who have to play for us, and are so anxious to please.
I feel sorry for us lurchers, the fans, who lurch from crisis to crisis.
But, tell you what - this club isn't boring. It's just barking

I read your stuff with some appreciation...until you mention RL.
John Barber is a seriously poor football commentator who fronts a match presentation that is an embarrassment. Of course, those who can't get to a game are grateful to have coverage.....but what sort of quality are we talking about?
Tonight another RL luminary conducted an absurd phone in...where he was literally leading callers into repeating his own assertions in the form of rhetorical questions. Do you know if the BBC has any quality standard processes to evaluate the quality of this sort of phone in?
Finally, the irony is that in a couple of weeks time....the same station's sports reporters will back to the usual psychophancy towards the club - once the immediate opportunity to drum up a few more listeners over the sacking has drifted away.

It's sycophancy. But I like your mis-spelling better
Thank you Innocent.
I'm tired and it's been a long day...and I was a bit carried away by the vitriol towards a bloke that has literally saved Leicester City because he had the courage to admit a mistake and part with a manager whose main claim to fame is posturing to get the approval of the naive.

It's brilliant. But not as good as my Maddog post a few posts back. But I suppose you missed it?

Look at Milan's smug face when he's in the car!

Also surely it would have given MM a legitimate reason to sack MA without having to pay off his 3-year contract.

Fair f*cks to him, it's a nice car, he's every right to be smug.

Ask Mr wise about that
Ah, but wasn't the problem there that we fined then sacked him, rather than just one or the other.
