So then AKCJ, what was that about us having a shocking summer so far? Must say, it seems a bit harsh. Also, why let him sign Okazaki for £7m yesterday and then sack him today?
Leicester City Football Club has today (Tuesday) relieved its First Team Manager, Nigel Pearson, of his duties. The Board of Directors recognises the success Nigel has helped to bring to Leicester City during his two spells in charge of the Club, particularly during the last three and a half years. However, it has become clear to the Club that fundamental differences in perspective exist between us. Regrettably, the Club believes that the working relationship between Nigel and the Board is no longer viable. Leicester City’s owners, Vichai and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, and the Board of Directors would like to place on record their thanks to Nigel for the considerable contribution he has made during his time with the Club and wish him well in the future. Khun Vichai and Khun Top remain wholly committed to the Club’s long-term development and to on going investment in a squad that will continue to be competitive in the Premier League. We trust that the Club’s supporters will recognise that the owners have always acted with the best interests of the Club at heart and with the Club’s long-term future as their greatest priority. Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh will take charge of first team duties while the Club begins its recruitment of a new manager. There will be no further comment until this process has concluded.

Seems a strange time to be doing this.He got them up, kept them up, started planning for next season, then this. Could it be that either, a) the owners won't give him the money he wants to buy players, or b) the owners have grander ideas for LC than NP has?
He had an amazing season last year. Credit where it's due. Was the problem to do with sticking up for his son? Family matters.
