Two comments made by readers of the papers stand out for me.
'his lack of comment on his son's behaviour is the reason for 'difference of perspective'.
and
'his son has cost him his job'.

Two comments made by readers of the papers stand out for me. 'his lack of comment on his son's behaviour is the reason for 'difference of perspective'. and 'his son has cost him his job'. Yeah, that incident is clearly a major factor even if it's unlikely either party says so. I was beginning to warm to Pearson. Not because of Leicester's great escape, although he deserves great credit for that, but because he'd reached the point where he'd behaved like an oaf so many times that he was beyond "annoyance" and into "thoroughly entertaining" territory. A Premier League without him will be less entertaining, much as it would be without Pardew. Hopefully he gets a job at a suitably horrible club like Leeds and proceeds to troll the football world silly by doing an excellent job there whilst smugly behaving like a bullying PE teacher.

Will miss his unpredictable entertaining press conferences. Far too many managers are robotic in front of a microphone. Managers like him & Sherwood are priceless.

Yes it is a different Steve Walsh , this is the assistant manager. www.lcfc.com/team/coaching_staff/According to Wikipedia the cowardly thug Steve Walsh runs a company with Neil Back. His twitter proudly declares he holds the record for the most red cards in the football league.

You don't have a clue what goes on behind closed doors . I'd love to see what shrews fans would say If MM grabbed an opposition player round the throat , and consistently walked out of press conferences . Doubt you'd call it entertainment then? Glad he's gone . Bloke is just weird .

I like Pearson. Good luck in getting a new position, Nigel. I could have grabbed a few people round the throat in my previous employment. You did a fantastic job, Shrewsbury legend.
Watch Leicester bomb now.
Whoop whoop whoop. Dive dive dive.

That red faced f.cker Ferguson used to bore me s**teless and he wasn't sacked was he . If you take Jamo's line to its logical conclusion Andy Murray would be sacked because he is a complete and utter boring barsteward but as he cant sack himself he carries on . Sometimes life just isn't fair .

I would not want to defend the club at an employment tribunal if they have sacked him because of his son's actions.

The trouble with Holloway though, was his interviews post game , at first amusing, became same old, same old, and covered up the fact that, he was in fact , fff****in useless. No substance, and I did'nt want to hear about his wife or his chickens. Same with that useless at Wolves who got sacked from Wolves to lead Ipswich from the Championship into ...... Another season in the Championship. as some-one said, Pearson was not clever or amusing he was just Weird. And becoming weirder by the game. Hang him.

Harsh decision on football terms, no doubt, but the owners have made it clear that it wasn't a footballing decision.
It isn't the first time an apparently successful manager has lost his job because of a bad relationship with the club's owners and the incident with his son was described as the last straw.
Foreign owners, different cultures - top managers need to be smarter operators away from the pitch and training ground these days.

Read that they sacked him by a telephone call. Now that was a wise decision tbf !, wouldn't like to try such a thing face to face with our Nige....unless I had a perverse liking for hospital food and extreme dentistry.
Having said that ,Shrews football legend in my eyes,absolutely stupid decision, will get fixed up somewhere else quickly but we may see him at the Meadow in the early weeks of the season as his Missus is a Shropshire girl...as for Leicester?...as the sensationaljt has said...dive,dive,dive

A football journalist wrote recently that everyone he had met in the game had at least a few likeable characteristics, except for Nigel Pearson who had no redeeming features whatsoever.

If Pearson's offence was bullying some very obnoxious journalists, then that is a shame. The local BBC guy at that last infamous interview just wouldn't let it drop, despite Pearson not rising to the bait and keeping his cool... and the rising impatience of the other journalists at the Beeb guy's crassness.
I think he did a terrific job keeping Leicester up, and had them playing attractive football. Even before that amazing last month run, they were the unluckiest team in the league and had deserved far more from several games.
So I was delighted they stayed up.
And you don't have to be party to what goes on behind closed doors to know if a manager has the players on his side. Body language is there to be read by everybody with eyes, and the City players clearly shared their delight with Pearson when things went right, and looked as though they really did enjoy playing for him.
But as I said in the other thread when I was so scathing about the behavior of the classless, clueless, overpaid louts in Thailand... their stupidity would probably cost Pearson his job... and most likely it has.
The owner's PR exercise to promote Leicester City to the Thai public was completely sunk by their boorish escapades, and when that included insulting a Thai girl, including racist remarks... even if she was a sex worker... it turned the Thai people's possible affection for the Foxes into widespread anger.
So despite acting against the three decisively.. including his own son... Pearson had to go.
A rare case of "Sins of the Son"...
We certainly don't know what happens when Pearson Junior enters the family home... but if Dad "bullies" him... Good! He deserves every bit of it. And more.

And I agree with Shearer and Lineker. On football terms, how could you sack him. He got them into the Premiership by winning the second tier by a country mile... and then saw them to 14th in the table with that great escape.
I can't stand foreign owners who buy Football Clubs like toys, although in this case, what happened in that hotel room probably gave the Thai father and son owners of City, little option.

Does anyone else think that Nigel resembles Vinny Jones in his attitude sometimes? Army thug/P.E. teacher scenario. Your remark certainly suggests that you might do so!

He has according to some sources along with Lennon. As for Pearson's son, I think dad has him around the throat shaking 7 bags of s**te out of him even as I write this. Oh well, he will soon pop up somewhere else very soon . Perhaps him and Malky could form a partnership at somewhere like Millwall where they will be much appreciated .
