Sky have suspended him and he apologised by phone to the father and his daughter, he was also on Sky News earlier issuing a grovelling apology saying it was a moment of madness and he hopes he can apologises to them face-to-face.

Well that's something I've not seen before, Mauricio Pellegrino has been sacked as manager of Southampton at half time!!! They still have 45 minutes to play against Man City! 
Puel's "boring" football isn't looking so boring any more
EDIT: I've just been informed that the red and white striped team playing against Man City is Stoke

Well done. We don't even have red/white stripes this year.
Anyway. Time for celebration!

So although this didn't happen, it has previously happened.
Martin Jol was told he was sacked as Spurs manager, over the phone, at half-time in a UEFA Cup match against Getafe in 2007. Lower down the leagues, Chichester City sacked their manager at half time, in a game they were winning... And Toni Schumacher was sacked as manager of Fortuna Cologne during his half time team talk, in the dressing room, by the club's chairman.

Get Rekt. Actually, I think it's popped up in the football trivia thread, now I come to think of it.
Edit: Okay, that explains why I held this weirdly specific information in my head... I asked it in the football trivia thread

Heavily reduced schedule for the PL this weekend because of the FA Cup #
Saturday
Bournemouth v West Brom
Huddersfield v Crystal Palace
Liverpool v Watford (5.30 Sky)
Stoke v Everton
Still two big games at the bottom of the table though.

My take on what he had to say yesterday is this.
Its great that he was full of passion and he did make some good points, but its doesn't excuse the performance on Tuesday night. It doesn't excuse the fact that whilst, as Jose pointed out, Sevilla are good team who are in the Spanish Cup final and have a good record in Europe, we should have done a lot better than what we did, we were the home team and I feel Sevilla were there for the taking, we were terrible and there was no desire or energy whatsoever, it was an embarrassment. his speech yesterday doesn't make up for that.
We play Brighton tonight in an FA Cup quarter final, its a big game....and I don't really feel like watching it, I will watch it but only because I feel I have too, not because I want too, after the other night I feel quite disheartened.

He's been immense, next season will be the real tell though. Some players have a fantastic debut season but then get found out in the second season and aren't nearly as effective, that's why Fergie never liked signing a player after one good season. I think Salah looks like the real deal though, but he needs a second good season to actually become that.
