Difficult to know what to make of this,

Obviously not Football related otherwise he'd have gone six weeks ago. That Thailand trip is obviously a major factor and probably twinned with everything off the field last year they decided it was the straw which broken the Ostrich's neck,

Ignoring anyone other candidates, Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich are all likely to challenge your suggestion as far as the bookies go.

Pretty sure he was finished as soon as his son was sacked for gross misconduct (especially the circumstances).

Feel sorry for the Leicester fans, and it's not much of a fair way to go, regardless of what you think of him. However, if he hadn't acted the c*nt over the season he'd probably still be here, so not too sorry for him myself.

Seems the son scandal related plus Pearson alienating the board in last year... Pearson will probably need to return to the Championship to get another job but no reason Leicester have to go down becuase of this. Pearson clearly popular with his players but there were a lot of questions about his tactics and favouritism before the late run

Nick110581 · « **Reply #166 on:** July 1, 2015, 01:33:34 pm »

The scandal with his son was his undoing

BlackandWhitePaul · « **Reply #167 on:** July 1, 2015, 01:35:39 pm »

He should have been sacked months ago, when he wrestled that Player to the ground and had his hands round the lads throat.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #168 on:** July 1, 2015, 02:20:07 pm »

The scandal involving his son was probably the last straw. They had plenty of reasons and opportunities to sack him during the season (and supposedly did at one point)

RideTheWalrus · « **Reply #169 on:** July 1, 2015, 02:22:25 pm »

Fans abolutely love him, they're crushed. Apparently he was unhappy with his kid being sacked.

Obviously, I've never met the guy, but he gives off the air of somebody who is horribly unpleasant, to put it mildly, so I don't feel the slightest sympathy for him.

He has the vibe of an aggressive copper, overly sure he can behave however he wishes, definitely not the sort of copper you'd want to be locked in the back of a van with.

Should have brought his Son up right then, shouldn't he.

Fuck that mate. Not his fault. Pearson's kid should have known better, not like he controls his kid's mouth. Seems odd to sack him now, could have done it earlier. Just made a martyr out of him.

Forever the one for hyperbole, ey, Red Sea. They've made Pearson another victim of corporate football. And anyway, Barnsley is the Holy Land.

Betting suspended on O'Neill going back there.

I know he's a hero there but Leicester played some great stuff last season. I doubt their fans want to see them lumping it forward to a target man again.

He'll love Jamie Vardy, though. Like Agbonlahor. Quick, with no ability.

Well at least Brendan won't be favourite any more on the betting for the manager who'll lose his job first.

Nice to have him back...as others have said, it prob wont be for long but nice to have him back.

Chelsea fans wondering who Claudio Ranieri is (new Leicester boss), he was your manager up until 2004, just before you became a Chelsea fan.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #188 on:** July 13, 2015, 10:42:36 pm »

A truly surprising appointment. He hasn't fared well in recent years, particularly with Greece. I can't see this lasting too long.

I thought he had been doing alright in first years then fizzled out, disaster at Greece aside.

An underwhelming choice but probably keeps them up

"Epic banter". Pearson probably pulled the McArthur move on the lad.

How good is Mahrez really, is he really as good as the ratings which places him top amongst all the attackers in Europe, as rated by whoscored.com
He has some insane skills, vision and technique. He can score goals too.
