Sheridan is currently in his third stint as manager of Oldham Athletic but he only took over recently after being sacked by Notts County at the beginning of the month.
Things did not go well for Sheridan during his time in Nottingham, he equalled the club record of nine successive defeats which ultimately led to his departure.
However, it was during one of these defeats that Sheridan was sent to the stands which subsequently led to a five-game touchline ban.
The referee report from that game has been published and it offers an insight into why Sheridan was sent to the stands in the first place.
'In the 55th minute, 4th official Matthew Donohue informed me that Notts County manager, John Sheridan, should be removed from the technical area for his behaviour towards himself. I then asked Mr Sheridan to leave the technical area and take his place in the stands. Mr Sheridan then said to me: "Your a f****** disgrace, you're f****** useless, you've not got f****** anything right today, you should be f****** ashamed, you're f****** shit, my kids aren't going to get any f****** Christmas presents because of f****** you." Mr Sheridan then took his place in the stands for the rest of the game.'You can tell Sheridan was really furious when he levelled the accusation of cancelling Christman at Eddie Ilderton's door. The full referee's report can be seen below.
He may have over-stepped the mark when he later called Ilderton a C-U-Next-Tuesday and threatened to knock him out.
