Leicester have sacked Pearson. I'm not surprised to read this tbh.

Given what he did yesterday I think they have saved themselves a lot of unrest as would of been another Pardew dilemma for the board so with poor form and yesterday's actions think it is best for all parties. Funny how Pardew was the opposing manager I mean the irony :lol:

That was just completely weird yesterday. Aside from the actual incident, which in itself was crazy enough, the whole "i can look after myself" comments just seem like someone on the verge of a breakdown.

I think you are right. When Pardew asked on camera what the problem was, I thought Pearson looked like he was about to lose it.

So according to BBC, Leicester are denying all reports Pearson has been sacked.

If he's not been sacked there will be a lot of disappointed fans in Leicester tomorrow. :cry:

You're right James it was bizarre, as was his conduct towards McArthur. At first I thought he was having some friendly banter which would have been appropriate given how the collision happened, but then it looked a little argessive which was completely unnecessary and wholly inappropriate. I've never particularly liked the bloke and the sooner he gets booted out by Leicester City all the better.

As for his "sacking", I suspect it was scheduled to happen but the Chairman got cold feet after it leaked to the press.

With Leicester's next three league games all scheduled away at Arsenal, Everton & Manchester City I really can't see them having any more points this time in March, which by then will probably be too late for any new manager to make any impact.

Leicester are supposedly in the first part of their EPL journey, ......., yoyo club for a couple of years, (like WBA) then secured premiership status after that. Being bottom and sh*t was in the plan, and expected, surely? (Cue Airplane! quote)

Had a closer look at this, and when McArthur clashed into Pearson, Pearson fell on top and was about to get up and McArthur definitely kicked out a Pearson, so Pearson grabbed him around the throat to remonstrate there was no need to kick out, all in the best possible taste, take a closer look and tell me what you all think, I think Pearson kept his calm throughout, but I do think Pearson was also mighty pissed off at the time with the amount of goal chances that they missed, should have buried Palace, and If they do let Pearson go, who in their right mind wants a relegation team on their CV, oh I forgot Harry might???, probably come after MM, :shock:

I've looked at it very closely since your post, Ashford. I can't see McArthur kicking out anywhere. His leg lifts but that's the natural movement to start standing up. I may be very wrong and you are correct,....., just not seeing anything wrong with McArthurs actions.

But the whole thing has been blown out of proportion by the media as per usual. There always has to be a drama these days. The only thing weird in all this (as Don has said) is Pearson's comments,......., that ties in with nothing really. What you on about, Nige?

EDIT; And this:

F**k off, James. You weren't scared. Stop making it worse.

Yeah. Can imagine he was truly terried :roll:

The whole thing is just a bit weird. None of it necessary for what was just an accidental collision.

Can't sack him yet, he's not received the Chairman's customary vote of confidence!

(Unless, come tomorrow: voc at 10am, sacked at midday. All's right in soccer's parallel universe!) :)
