Gregory brings in League Managers Association

The war may have only just started but it is already reaching a critical stage!

John Gregory brings in his lawyers

No! We are not referring to the conflict in Iraq but the internal battle between John Gregory and Derby County Football club.

John Gregory is said to be demanding to be reinstated by April 1^st. The suspended Derby boss has brought in help from his union, the League Managers Association and his own lawyers in an attempt to force his way back into his job.

Gregory insists that under League Managers Association rules he can only be suspended from his job for ten days. This would mean that he should be back in charge of the team by April 1^st, a rather poignant date given the foolish antics of most at Pride Park this season.

Rams boss Gregory has also said that he believes a smear campaign is being

Sack me or back me! says Gregory

waged against him at the club in an attempt to remove him permanently from his job. He also has said that he may reveal four allegations that are at the centre of the investigation.

It now appears that Gregory has a “sack me or back me” mentality as he plans to force the club to come up with a definitive answer to their allegations or allow him to continue with his job.
