Called it a couple months back when that player was tackled and fell into him, and he grabbed the player by the throat on the touchline. The guy is batshit crazy and will end up killing someone before long. He looks like a wife beater. His post match interview after the Leicester v Chelsea game is one of the most bizarre interviews I think I have ever seen in my life...... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32527129 The ****? Ostrichs? Asking the reporter how far down he can bend? the guy is a complete ****ing ****er! And rude too. Still hope Leicester stay up though as I like the club (and have friends who live in Leicester and have been to their ground a couple of times), I wont hold the actions of their batshit manager against the club.
Speaks his mind and doesn't suffer fools - he is a bit "overly passionate" though sometimes. The reporters are cute though - they know exactly who is going to react and who isn't so they press the appropriate buttons as it makes good copy. I must admit that's one aspect of going up that fills me with dread. In the championship people don't care too much about the pre and post match interviews and it's only if your club is at the centre of a big story (Leeds for example) that something may be whipped up. In the premier League the managers weekly post conferences are used to try and dig up any bit of negativity possible - if you're struggling that has to be difficult as it feeds down to everyone including the support. Sure there's presure if you're up at the top as well with people trying to shoot you down but Jose sees it as a hobby!

All I have seen is people praising Leicester for their recent run of good form and dragging themselves out of the relegation zone, so what criticism was he talking about? And how was the player who was tackled and fell into him " a fool" and why did that mean he deserved being grabbed by the throat.
This is what I don't get. Leicester haven't been overly criticised that I can see. If anything they were widely praised for that brilliant game v United at the beginning of the season and how they've approached games in general. They weren't expected to achieve much this year so I really can't see what Pearson is rambling on about. The fact he refused to clarify it kind of speaks volumes. If you want to see criticism, look at some of the stick LVG, Rogers, Wenger and Pelligrini have had this year.

Personally, I think he's just trying to get a siege mentality to galvanise the players again so they don't beat themselves up over last night.
Possibly, but not sure how going crazy and attacking players and ranting at journalists will galvanise anyone, just make him look a ****er and cause the media to turn against him. You can bet your bottom dollar that all the journo's have him marked now as a guy who, if pushed, will give them headlines in his interviews. Trust me, they have been doing with Jose for years. Seems the pressure is getting to old Nige
I agree - just think that's what he was trying and it may have backfired badly. Mourinho courts it deliberately and uses it to his advantage- he loves it but then so does the media. Difference is he knows how to play the game and they lap it up.
pearson is just a miserable old ****. "get off my damn lawn you ****ing kids" CP might be able to relate
