As Nigel Pearson leaves Leicester, we remember his finest hour

And so farewell, Nigel Pearson. In a move that took pretty much everyone by surprise, the Leicester City boss, who masterminded his side’s incredible escape from relegation last season, was sacked today. In happier times (Richard Sellers/PA) We’re sad to see him go – partly because it’s always sad to see somebody lose their job, but mostly because it means we won’t get any more moments like this. We’re also a little bit happy because it gives us an excuse to watch this over and over again.

If you understand why Nigel Pearson has been sacked….then you are….an ostrich. #lcfc — Rob Pick (@robpickbfc) June 30, 2015 There’s only one possible explanation. Maybe the Leicester owners have their head in the sand like an ostrich and missed what that man did last season. #lcfc — Ryannn.

Then you, you, you are an ostrich — Nate Guildea (@NateGuildea) June 30, 2015 Yeah, that’ll be it. And here’s something that thousands of tweeters will have realised for the first time tonight.
