Sir Fynwy Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Oh I don't know, sacking him for gross misconduct could save us a couple of million quid payout... Could cost a huge amount in legal fees to try to prove that it was gross misconduct due to the level of provocation
chapero82 Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 The fan should have known better than to mess with a man who took on a pack of wild dogs and won
Webbo Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 If Pearson is found guilty of misconduct then possibly the club could dismiss him without compensation, that might be the motivation behind this.
Nick Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 If that's what he said, then he should be ashamed of himself, and kicked out the club. That is dragging the good name of the Leicester City, into the dirt. He should be aware of his position, within the club, and think before he opens his mouth. Sounds to me that he's a frustrated and worried man, who's losing his grip. And you said that. You.

If the comment is true, Pearson is out of order taking the rant to that level.But until the investigation comes out, a lot of what is being said is likely to be Chinese whispers.
bovril Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 If Pearson is found guilty of misconduct then possibly the club could dismiss him without compensation, that might be the motivation behind this. They planted the gobby fan?!
foxinsox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Get real! Someones delicate ears got hurt by a footballer swearing a bit. Perhaps they would prefer a more genteel activity such as ballet.
yorkie1999 Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 At least i don't feel so guilty about getting a telling off from a steward for shouting and swearing at the sunderland game. Never touching tia maria again.
Webbo Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 They planted the gobby fan?! No, obviously not, but this could be an opportunity for them. It'll certainly strengthen their hand in any compensation negotiations.
Babylon Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 The club said they are looking at the incident, not that Pearson is under investigation. The conclusion could very well be that the fan gets banned.
dogadug Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 These replies came after Stringer asked if anybody had heard anything from the bench. See the bottom one. Ian replied to this asking if he really said that (a tweet that's he's now deleted). Don't know if it's linked to this article but worth pointing out that this article could be sparked by one made up tweet by a 16 year old. Good work mate to find that. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they used that
MPH Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Mirror reporting the club are carrying out sb internal investigation after Pearson allegedly told a fan to "**** off and die." Mirror sensationalizing again. His mate Andy shouted to him " we are playing like Cov!" to which Pearson replied " **** Cov, Andy"

Webbo Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Mirror sensationalizing again. His mate Andy shouted to him " we are playing like Cov!" to which Pearson replied " **** Cov, Andy" +1 for having the brass neck to post that.
Guest MattP Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 The club said they are looking at the incident, not that Pearson is under investigation. The conclusion could very well be that the fan gets banned. This seems a far more likely outcome. I certainly hope it is as well.
Guest ttfn Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 This seems a far more likely outcome. I certainly hope it is as well. I don't think banning the fan is either fair or appropriate. Obviously that behaviour should be discouraged, but a formal warning and a letter of apology to Pearson would be better in my book. People care a lot about football and this club and sometimes people's emotions get the better of them.

Leicester_Numan Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 The club said they are looking at the incident, not that Pearson is under investigation. The conclusion could very well be that the fan gets banned. My thoughts exactly
Brooksy Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 If his exact words were '**** off and die' then the bloke deserves a contract extension, what a legend.
hackneyfox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 He deserves a contract extension after saying that imo. Do we know what was said to NFP to warrant such a response?
Babylon Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Do we know what was said to NFP to warrant such a response? Do you know that was the response? Considering the source seems to be an illiterate person tweeting it to Stringer then deleting it.
Clever Fox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 A headbutt maybe instead? On the half way line before next home match. I wouldn't want to miss it.
hackneyfox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Do you know that was the response? Considering the source seems to be an illiterate person tweeting it to Stringer then deleting it. I'm asking as some want to see the fan banned and yet nobody seems to know what was said to Pearson.
