    I reckon he is a very good manager, if he ever turned up at The Valley in charge of us, then I wouldn't complain.

    As long as he didn't sign his son.

    'Leicester have sacked boss Nigel Pearson because of what they describe as "fundamental differences" between the manager and the club's owners.'

    I'd imagine the sacking of his son is what they are talking about

    Agreed. Good manager and would have him at The Valley any day.

    Who's the favourite?

    Paul McShane and EL Hadji Ba as joint managers.

    another English manager bites the dust .. I suspect his replacement will be a foreigner and Pearson will end up managing a Championship club very soon .. Sheffield Wednesday perhaps ?

    Fair to say you are not overly impressed with him?

    Powell should have waited. He'd have been good up there

    Isn't he ALWAYS 33/1? Haha

    Sean Dyche is 4/1

    Esteban Cambiasso is terrible value at 10/1

    To be fair, it's pretty appalling that he failed to win the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Eurovision Song Contest in his first season in the Prem with a shoestring budget.

    Bring in Rodgers.

    I was gutted when Leicester axed Nigel Pearson. "The owners have ostracised you," I said. His eyes narrowed. "Ostrich what?" he snapped.

    Pearson does everything a Club should expect of a Manager.

    Gets the team playing attractive football, develops a siege mentality around the players and takes it from the media on their behalf when he has to.

    How many other mangers with the resources that he had available to him (and when the side was all but relegated) and under the sort of pressure he was under at the time could have put a run together in the final nine games of seven wins, one draw and a sole defeat at the hands of the Premier League Champions?

    And several things they should not. Unless he actually willingly signed a contract stipulating number of oppo players throttled per season? He's a decent manager no doubt but he seems far from a decent human being. Most owners are going to think twice about employing a man who for part of the season appeared on the verge of a psychotic break from reality.

    People do "funny" things under pressure and sometimes cross the line for which they should rightly be punished. Though I'm not sure all Managers are equal when it comes to punishments.

    Fergie has throttled a few players in his time and Mourinho has been known to poke the opposition coach in the eye. Perhaps they should be labelled "psychotic" too.

    Perhaps they should, if they're response afterwards was to maintain they 'can handle themselves' or whatever the line was he used. Fergie got away with a lot of crap due to his reputation and his status, Mourinho too, and that's wrong. But doesn't mean Pearson wasn't also wrong, nor does it change my opinion that regardless of his abilities as a manager he's got at least one screw far too loose for me to ever want him managing Charlton. I said 'for part of the season' and I meant it, the choking of a player was just one flashpoint. He was clearly not handling the pressure at all well for some considerable time and frankly I am glad that he DID manage to turn it around when he did - for the sake of the players he was working with.
