    Just another Holloway in my opinion, someone who totally believed in his own 'image' .......... I hope he ends up at York City.

    Is he the last sacking of last season or the first of this season?

    Whatever it was must have been pretty bad given his heroics last season and their promotion the previous year.

    Big surprise given how well they did at the back end of last season.

    Bet he was a prick to work with though. The board probs had enough and his son getting sacked couldn't have helped...

    This is weird. Promothion one year, and survival against the odds the next year? I think Pearson has done well. I can imagine he might be a bit difficult to work with, but three-and-a-half years is a long time for anybody to take to realise it. I wonder if transfer money isn't the issue.

    Wow, big surprise considering what he achieved with them. Having said that he did come over as a bit of a twat at times.
    Wonder who they have lined up? Gus or paulo

    Sounds like he was basically too much of a dick to continue working with from what the club have said.

    Wouldn't like to speculate about the real reasons for his sacking but he struck me as more than likely come down on his son for being so daft and taping the sex tape. Built a good squad as they played well most of the season which came good in the end. It could come back to bite Leicester on the arse unless SKP gets the head coaches job!

    Pearson will be totally shocked and he totally deserves to be sacked ......... the ostrich has come back to bite his arse.

    Last season he had a series of needless confrontations and thought he was bigger than the club.
    I think the board were waiting for the end of the season, to get him out, and the 'sex tape' thing was just the last straw.

    Despite what people are saying about his so called achievements I don't expect there to be a big queue of clubs wanting to appoint him.

    Like father like son ....... pinning some hapless victim down and exercising your power over them.

    Think Big Sam might fancy it.

    If its some appointment out of left field I think theyll struggle to stay up.

    `Arry`s a top top manager. Rumours are he`s looking to get back.
