    Shock in the sense that football wise he done well.

    He always came across as the type who would upset people though and he's maybe pushed the board too far. His son getting punted for taking part in an orgy whilst making racist comments probably didn't do much for the relationship either.

    Made a chorus and verse of himself a couple of times, that's probably the reason he got emptied. Sad because he done what was asked.

    He was lucky not to get emptied during the 20 odd game run where they barely picked up any points.

    I'd imagine his son's behaviour won't have helped his case either.

    Never nice to see someone sacked from their job and thought he done well to keep them up but the man is undoubtably no the full ticket.

    Not a pleasant man but I doubt he'll be out of work for long.

    I can imagine he'd have been backing him and obviously didn't get his way. Bound to be a factor.

    Ridiculous decision. He was a miracle worker last year.

    He has a strange personality but got the best out of that team. Leicester in trouble now I think.

    Not necessarily. May have been inevitable given what happened with his son. Can't have been easy for him between work and home.....

    Seemingly his son and a few other trainees were involved in a racist sex tape in the owners country of Thailand.

    I do a bit of work for a company that have contracts with a few Midlands teams, and the word today from Leicester is Sam Allerdyce is the man they want. 7/2 can be had in hills at the moment.

    Allardyce favourite surely.

    I think Lennon might stick at Bolton.

    Did a terrific job, but obviously nuts and difficult to work with. Directors have probably opted for a quiet personal life over success of club. Anybody coming in to try and keep Leicester up has their work cut out for them. The fans certainly won't be seeing that brand of football next season.

    Allardyce won't be going for a job for a while. He was living in London while at West Ham while his wife still lived in Bolton so I believe he'll be taking a bit of a break.

    Apparently Lennon had the mickey taken out of him at training today with the players asking if they're finishing early so he can get down to Leicester for his interview etc. He's apparently not thinking of going anywhere else, but you'd think that'd change with a quadrupled salary. Hope he stays put though, it was a breath of fresh air when he came to Bolton after the soul destroying experience that was Dougie Freedman's tenure.
