What the expert says...
Nigel Pearson was sacked after losing the Severnside derby
Nigel Pearson was relieved of his duties as Bristol City manager after two and a half years in charge of the club following their 2-0 defeat to Cardiff on Saturday.
Reports last weekend claimed that Pearson may be fighting for his job and that came to fruition after Saturday's loss which saw them slip down to 15th in the Championship.
Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett claimed on Sunday evening that John Eustace, Gary Rowett and Nathan Jones are top of Bristol City's candidate list.
