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."

Can't help thinking that this could be bad news for us - according to some of the stuff I read on a Derby forum on Sunday, there are some sensitive souls in their squad who were not reacting well to Pearson's hands on style of management.

The players out to prove a point......

Absolute shambles the wins in the bag

we were always facing an uphill battle ,at some point this club will turn itself around , we need to beat a side that is trying to convince ourselves we are on the up , i'm on my way down to witness a win for us hopefully on our own merit

My feelings exactly.

Suspended manager bounce. It's a well known phenomenon.

I wonder if this is the usual Pearson-type fall out or if he is about to appear in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow in an Alardyce follow up? Sky News earlier were saying there are another 10 managers who fell into the summer sting operation and some were less restrained than Big Sam.

I heard that Trollope asked one of the undercover reporters if they'd be up for the striker role at Cardiff.

They said 8 of the 10 are English managers so chances are decent that Pearson is one of the unlucky few.

Derby fans I spoke too reckon he had a scuffle or altercation with one of the owners. No idea if true or not.

Sacked from Leicester after a club trip to Thailand. At the time it was lined to his son and a number of players bringing the club into disrepute. Could have been a bit more to add on to that. I have heard Pearson is a very hot-headed character.
