Suspended, not sacked (yet).And Henry is sacked!
Well done Cesc Fabregas
This is probably the first time I have heard manager get suspended. Is he such a danger to the club that they can't have him around for couple of games more, till they take a decision to fire him?
Paul Ince doesn't like this.
Hilarious if that's true.
Would Jardim be the first to be sacked and then appointed by same club in the same season ?
Happens a lot in Italy. They see it is a real profession, not some kind of passion driven thing.
Italian clubs bring the same manager back two or three times in a season quite a bit, they don't give them a full pay off when they get sacked but keep them on gardening leave so they can bring them back if they sack the next one.But in the same season to sack and reappoint the same manager within few months ?

I know it seems a little insane but yes.
Juric for Genoa comes to mind:
He was sacked on 19 February 2017 after a 0–5 defeat against bottom-placed Pescara.[8] He was reinstated as Genoa manager on 10 April 2017 after the sacking of Andrea Mandorlini.

I guess it saves money on giving them a full pay out, means they have an instant option is they need someone and, as you say, it does tend to be quite dysfunctional clubs. Look at Palermo's managers, just the same people repeatedly: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Città_di_Palermo_managersWeird. Doesn't that make these clubs look like absolute fools, like why did they sack these managers to start with ?

The Juric example is good, but nothing can beat the madness of Palermo. From Gian Piero Gasperini's Wikipedia page:
On 16 September 2012, Gasperini was announced as the new manager of Palermo, a former team of his as a player, taking over from Giuseppe Sannino.[11]
On 4 February 2013, he was dismissed from his post following a 2–1 loss at home to Atalanta.[12]
On 24 February 2013, Gasperini was rehired as the Palermo manager, replacing Alberto Malesani after three games in charge.[13] On 11 March 2013, Gasperini was again removed from the post, this time by Giuseppe Sannino.[14]
Absolutely. Jardim might not be the best manager for a relegation battle but he is surely the best manager overall that they could get and obviously did an amazing job there before so perhaps a few months off will have helped him and he can at least drag them to safety and then they can start again with a top class manager and some very good young players.I think the ridiculous thing that it's now happening to supposedly a decent club as Monaco. It shows how much they have been fecked up this season.

Because if they were great managers they wouldn't be looking for punditry work I suppose. I don't think it matters really, I still think Neville is good and there's valid reasons why it didn't work at Valencia, Henry was shit as a pundit though and the management also hasn't gone well.Why do Skysports pundits seem to make really lousy managers? Paul Merson, Gary Neville, and now Thierry Henry.
Henry could do with some support, probably not his fault. I'd get Moyes and Gary Neville in alongside Henry for an all round management dream team.
Will fail as a manager. Has the personna of a class clown and I heard him talk about Pep's tactics, explaining how he was awestruck by the instruction to track back as a wing-forward. If tracking back was already a revelation to him as a 30 year old senior player, how developed can his managerial brain be?
Will try to copy a few things from Pep and inevitably fail. Watch this space.

Carragher should try it out to see if he can do it better.
