In recent weeks, there's been much light shed on certain footballing decisions. Rob Styles, Steve McClaren adn many others have received a fair amount of column inches in recent weeks over their choices, however perhaps the most sickening of the season, has gone almost unnoticed by a number of fans.
Half Time at Nottingham Forest on a Tuesday evening, the away dressing room is not a pleasant place to be. Already in the last few days 2 footballers have died from freak heart related problems and Clive Clarke of Leicester City has just suffered two heart failures. He turns out to be the lucky one. The Leicester fitness coach Damien Doyle may well have saved his life by giving him mouth to mouth whilst waiting for the paramedics, who needless to say did a brilliant job in saving lives.
Around 12 hours later, we hear of Clarke's stable condition and the inevitable praise of Doyle and the paramedics. It also turned out to be Doyle's last night in the job. In an attempt to clear the entire management and staff out, contraversial Leicester chairman relieved the manager, and the coach of their duties, but much more significantly Doyle was given the sack there and then, the day after saving a players life. Say No More.
