Assistant manager Curtis Fleming will take charge of the Robins’ Championship matches at Millwall and Peterborough on Wednesday and Saturday respectively.
Statement

Return
Manager discusses being halted by Watford security guards, riding horses and what football needs to do now. “I joined Watford with a very clear understanding that what might happen might not be clear,” says Nigel Pearson, recalling the emotions that followed his surprise sacking in July, having hauled them three points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with two games to play.
The club confirmed his departure in a pithy 49-word statement. “I don’t expect people to write me a wonderful epitaph but I thought it was very disrespectful. Having said that, I moved on very quickly. It’s not scarred me.”
Salary
Pearson is looking for a deal worth around £3million a year which is a huge hike on what he was earning in the Championship. The experienced boss earned around £750,000-a-year plus bonuses in the second tier, so he is seeking a major rise in the big time.
