NIGEL PEARSON was sensationally suspended by Derby County hours before their game at Ipswich.

Rams boss Pearson found out the shock news after owner Mel Morris ordered that he was sent home from the team hotel.

Morris is now set to officially sack his manager after deciding his appointment was not working.

Wealthy Morris appointed the former Leicester City chief in the summer but results and performances have been shocking.

Pearson fell out with some players, telling them after the defeat by Blackburn that he would be staying but many of them would not.

However after Morris took a couple of days to mull over the crisis Pearson got the call and was taken out of the HQ in dramatic style.

Pearson’s blunt style has not gone down well with the dressing room and even some club staff felt the sharp end of his tongue.

Now Derby will start the hunt for a new boss, with Steve Bruce a possible target after meeting them during the summer but being overlooked.

Derby County manager Nigel Pearson has been suspended by the club - pending an internal investigation - the Derby Telegraph understands.

It follows a meeting between Pearson and Rams owner and chairman Mel Morris at the club's Moor Farm training ground on Monday afternoon.

News of the suspension broke hours before Derby County's Sky Bet Championship fixture against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight.

Pearson's assistant manager, Chris Powell, will take charge of the team at Cardiff.

Club spokesman Paul Tyrrell said: "Derby County can confirm that manager Nigel Pearson will not be carrying out his duties at tonight's game - at the request of the club.

"Assistant manager Chris Powell will take charge of the team for tonight's Sky Bet Championship match at Cardiff City.

"The club will make no further comment at this time."
