Leicester sack Sven

Last updated : 24 October 2011 By Michael Morris

svenNo doubt Mr Eriksson will walk away with a huge severance package. 

Leicester are in 13th place but are just one point behind Cardiff and just two points away from a play off place.

Seems a bit premature to me.

Meanwhile in the past week Bristol City appointed Derek McInnes as their new manager. McInnes was linked with the Cardiff job in the summer.

There was no fairytale start though as former Bluebird Chris Burke scored twice for Birmingham City in a 2 nil win at Ashton Gate on Sunday.

Tonight Brighton entertain West Ham.

Current table: (before Monday night's action)
