Nigel Pearson: Leicester boss in bizarre post-match reaction Leicester manager Nigel Pearson called a journalist an "ostrich", "stupid" and "daft" during a bizarre post-match news conference following Chelsea's 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium. Nigel Pearson: Leicester boss in bizarre post-match reaction Leicester manager Nigel Pearson called a journalist an "ostrich", "stupid" and "daft" during a bizarre post-match news conference following Chelsea's 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium. After Pearson referred to "the amount of criticism and negativity" his side have faced this season, Ian Baker of Wardles Press Agency asked the Foxes boss to elaborate. In the exchange, Pearson repeatedly took issue with the reporter. *Warning - there is language in this transcript which may be considered offensive: Baker: What criticism are you talking about? Pearson: Have you been on holiday for six months? Have you been away for six months? Baker: I am not quite sure what specific criticism you are referring to? Pearson: I think you must have been either head in the clouds or away on holiday or reporting on a different team because if you don't know the answer to that question... your question is absolutely unbelievable... the fact you do not understand where I am coming from. If you don't know the answer to that question, then I think you are an ostrich. Your head must be in the sand. Is your head in the sand? Are you flexible enough to get your head in the sand? My suspicion would be 'no'. Baker: Probably not. Pearson: I can, you can't. You can't. Listen, you have been here often enough and for you to ask that question... you are either being very, very silly or you are being absolutely stupid... one of the two because for you to ask that question... I am sorry son, you are daft. What criticism are you talking about? Baker: There hasn't been much harsh criticism of the players. Pearson: You are wrong. No, you are wrong. You have been in here, I know you have, so don't give that crap with me. Please don't give that crap with me. I will smile at you because I can afford to smile at you. Now, do you want to ask a different question or do you want to ask it differently? Come on, ask it, ask it. Or are you not capable? Baker: I just don't know what you, erm… Pearson: You don't know. What's 'erm'? Baker: I don't know how you've taken that question... Pearson: Well, you must be very stupid. I'm sorry. Pearson then walked out of the news conference. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know about you guys but I find this bloke to be an absolute ****er, always snapping at journalists over petty ****.
He might be a "****er" but his meltdowns are funny as ****, although for the good of the game he should be put in his place and warned about his future conduct. Looking back at some of the defamatory ****e Fergie used to dish out to refs, fellow managers, opposition players, opposition clubs and match officials Pearson is a pussy cat by comparison.
Nigel Pearson: Leicester boss in bizarre post-match reaction Leicester manager Nigel Pearson called a journalist an "Panda", "stupid" and "daft" during a bizarre post-match news conference following Chelsea's 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium. After Pearson referred to "the amount of Giant Pandas" his side have faced this season, Ian Baker of Wardles Press Agency asked the Foxes boss to elaborate. In the exchange, Pearson repeatedly took issue with the reporter. *Warning - there is language in this transcript which may be considered a bit silly: Baker: What Pandas are you talking about? Pearson: Have you been on holiday for six months to China? Have you been away for six months? Baker: I am not quite sure what specific Pandas you are referring to? Pearson: I think you must have been either head in the clouds or away on holiday or reporting on a different team because if you don't know the answer to that question... your question is absolutely unbelievable... the fact you do not understand where I am coming from. If you don't know the answer to that question, then I think you are a panda. Do you eat bamboo? Do you love bamboo? My suspicion would be 'yes'. Baker: No I'm not. Pearson: Well I eat it. You can't. Listen, you have been here often enough and for you to ask that question... you are either being very, very silly or you are being absolutely stupid... one of the two because for you to ask that question... I am sorry son, you are daft. Baker: You haven't played any pandas this season, is this a pandas v foxes thing? Pearson: You are wrong. No, you are wrong. You have been in here, I know you have, so don't give that crap with me. Please don't give that crap with me. I will smile at you because I can afford to smile at you. Now, do you want to ask a different question or do you want to ask it differently? Come on, ask it, ask it. Or are you not capable? Baker: I just don't know what you, erm…pandas? Really? Pearson: You don't know. What's 'erm'? Baker: I don't know how you've taken that question... Pearson: Well, you must be very stupid. I'm sorry. Pearson then walked out of the news conference munching on a bamboo shoot.
The guy is insane. What criticism have Leicester had? I think he was talking bullshit, and when the reporter called him on it, and asked him to cite an example (of which there isnt one), he got egg on his face and launched a crazy rant. Guy is a wife beater, I am telling you. That **** with James McArthur a few weeks back too:
they had a bit around christmas but no more than any side any year. the guy has had more issues with his own fans. Nut job who won't last much longer IMO
I know a couple of Leicester fans that can't stand him. Ironically they're a bit quiet at the moment with results going their way, now where have I seen that before...
