Manager for next season

[Toronto Villa]

Genuine question but what did the fan say to get that response from Pearson? Assume it wasn't just one comment and it wasn't asking him how the tomatoes were coming along in his vegetable garden?

They were calling him a twat. Still shows him up in a bad light that he has a short fuse and gets baited. I think if things didn't go well for him here it would be a car crash with him. Most of the incidents happened when he was under pressure at a small club like Leicester, how the hell would he cope with us?

Is that really all or was it more? Not disagreeing with you but I find telling someone to fuck off and die would need a bit more. That said, yes he was under pressure and he was still able to turn things around. As opposed to Lambert or Sherwood or Garde who looked like the walking dead buried under the weight of it all. Maybe we need a bit more of the come out fighting attitude at the club than the meekly accepting our new place in the game. I'm not saying the answer is Pearson but we need to find someone if not him with a more determined to succeed attitude than the last few blokes. At least an inner strength if not outwardly as obvious.

If it's somebody with experience of managing in the Championship and Premier League the Blackburn manager might be available.

Please don't let it be Pearson.

I'd love a manager that the players are scared of after five years of piss taking and criminal under performance. The kind of manager that you wouldn't sit next to in a dug out and play silly buggers with chewing gum, for instance.

Why would our 'seniore' players be scared of him. Half a dozen will be on much better wages than those he previously managed and himself. They'll be able to poison the others

Beelzebub thwacked the ear hole of his reserve goal keeper when he was at Selhurst Park. Let's get him. He would have fucked up the chewing gum twats early doors and saved us a whole lot of grief, not to mention the hemorrhaging of income and cash flow.

[Dante Lavelli]

I assumed Rodgers would be off to swansea, but as this hasn't happened, I'm starting to think he might be a good fit for us.
He's not got the ceiling that the likes of Bruce have (even Moyes), plus has managed teams in the championship.

He's a bit of a tit, but his motivation to succeed and work hard should be there after he pressure at Liverpool and his break from the game.

Nigel Pearson refuses to say sorry after video emerges of row with Leicester fan

[PeterWithesShin]

As well as the fuck off and die he also said this

He told fans not to bother returning to the King Power Stadium if they aren't prepared to show support.

Pearson positions himself in the stands, where he is surrounded by supporters, instead of on the touchline because the 51-year-old feels it gives him a better tactical point of view.

But the manager was subject to criticism on Tuesday night as Leicester lost 3-1 against Liverpool.

'I replied to one idiot in the stands and if he doesn't like what he sees, then don't bother coming,' Pearson told SkySports.

'Maybe they ought to think about staying at home, we need support their support. We've worked hard tonight and will continue to do so.'

Pearson strikes me as the type of bloke who doesn't worry too much about how much someone is earning if he decides to give him a bollocking. I may be wrong, just my impression.

from the FA website

9. Understandably he has not apologised to the person making the abusive
comments towards himself, as clearly heard on the video, as he does not
think that to be appropriate, and we agree with that view.
10. We were told that the person who made the abusive comments and
swore at Mr. Pearson is well known to the Club and is a regular attendee at
games. To call him a supporter or fan of the Club would be doing an injustice
to the genuine, loyal, and decent fans of the Club.
11. Mr. Pearson had been sitting in the stand, as is his usual practice. He
moved to the technical area in order to effect some substitutions and
immediately became the subject of abuse from this one particular person in
the crowd. That is clearly heard on the video and Mr. Pearson had no doubt
the abuse was directed at himself. Apparently the person in question was
being critical of the application of the Leicester City players and we were told
that the same individual had been making vitriolic and abusive comments
towards Mr. Pearson, his staff and players over several weeks.

The video is the bit that was captured is my point. It won't give the entire thing or full context. Again, it wasn't right but fans get away with saying a lot and clearly he had enough and it got personal. I'll put money on other Leicester fans being in support of him as many of them still are. It hardly alienated him from the supporters there.

[Sexual Ealing]

At least one person applauded him!

It does sound like it was one particular fan who was making all the noise and, if he'd been doing it for several weeks, I think I can understand the urge to vent back. You shower of c*nts.

Edit: from the FA report quoted above it looks like the guy had been giving him stick for weeks. It's no way to treat a manager who's promoted you twice (and also no way to speak to a 'fan').

[pauliewalnuts]

It doesn't matter how much stick a fan is giving you - that is part of the game - you can not turn around and shout at them to "fuck off and die".

It's really that simple.

What about the other people sat around who would have heard that?

The bloke has no self control, he's a proven timebomb waiting to go off.

I don't know about that. In your job and my job we're not allowed to snap like that, no matter how much somebody's pissing us off. But if for a period 6 or 7 hours over the previous month we'd had somebody shouting "you're a fucking twat! You're a disgrace! Fuck off!" at us when we were trying to work, I don't think it's the crime of the century to bite back a bit.

Obviously it'd be better if it didn't happen but who can say how much abuse someone ought to take?

well some people ask for it and  the FA agreed that there was no need for him to apologise
