See Leicester have sacked Pearson over a difference of strategy. Got to say thought he did well last season so seems a strange decision.

They probably had confirmation of this seasons £72m prize money and declared to get someone better in.

Or they could have had a difference in opinion on what his son & friends got up to in the Far East....

"Lost patience" apparently. To be fair, he has come across as a bit of a knob over the season.

Harsh sacking though.

Apparently he was sacked for a number of things, culminating in this thing with his Son.

From what I've heard from mates who are Leicester fans he was nearly sacked a few times last season, but now the owners have finally had enough of him.

Another ex-CUFC manager to lose his job today was Mervyn Day. West Brom have had a little clear out...

Got a mate who is a LCFC fan and he says the incident with his son was just the icing on the cake and the excuse they wanted to get shot of him, the owners definitely did not like some of the things he has said and done over the season just finished.

2 of the sacked players have already found new clubs I believe? And it is just Pearson who has not as of yet.

Looking increasingly he'll be replaced by Keith Lemon....sorry Neil Lennon.
Massive step backwards for them if they do, I think Keith Lemon is probably the better manager.

I thought Lennon was terrible at Celtic but he did a fine job at Bolton. As for Pearson, miracle he kept them up but his press conferences were like war zones. He'll get a handsome payoff, never have to work again if it comes to that

I can't see that his sons behaviour is anything to do with him. Fair enough all the other stuff but surely he can't be held any more responsible for his sons actions than he could for any of the squads.

First day the whole family of owners were at the ground in a long while was the first day back in training....
His son's behaviour has a direct consequence for Nigel as his boss and as his father....if you don't think it has -ask Nigel where he's going to work on Monday.
If his son had just been filmed shagging some clart with his mates it'd be different...he wasn't though, he was filmed shagging and (the important bit) racially abusing a girl the same ethnicity as the clubs owners....don't see how they couldn't sack him.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree. Up until recently I worked for a company owned by Americans. If I had a son old enough to go to say Vegas and was filmed doing the same do you think I should get sacked? I'm sure there's been plenty of things he's done last season that upset the owners but I really dont think a father should lose his job because of something a son does that he has no control of.

It was good excuse to get rid I would think.

They're after Gus Hiddink apparently who did well with the S. Korean national side.

DB I doubt whether you'd be the main man representing the public face of the company in your scenario.. Though I could be wrong! :lol:

Koreans are big on honour and the like.

Ideally from their point of view Nigel Pearson would have run his boy through with a big sword before doing the same to himself!

Totally ignoring that Peasron was his sons direct boss as general manager of the playing staff.

It's not just about him being his son, it's about him being boss of an employee that has shown a total lack of respect in all areas, along with three other employees that he (Pearson) is ultimately responsible for...then disagreeing that the involved employee should have been sacked for what he did.
As said above the owners are big on respect and discipline and won't take their staff racially abusing anyone, I'm not sure where the grey area is in all of this...?

Didn't I originally say something along the lines of his son shouldn't be treated any different to anyone else? Therefore if what the three players did was worthy of him being sacked which I don't believe it was then fair enough. The fact that one was his son shouldn't make a difference. It isn't a grey area just our views differ slightly.
