Pearson shocked by Milan co-operation

ew Hull boss Nigel Pearson has admitted his surprise at the willingless Milan Mandaric showed to let him leave Leicester for the KC Stadium. Pearson came close to leading Leicester to a second successive promotion before the Foxes were knocked out of last season's Championship play-offs by Cardiff.But he is believed to have become frustrated at various problems at the Walkers Stadium including transfer deals falling through and negotiations breaking down over his contract.He told the Leicester Mercury: "I think it surprised Hull and myself that they allowed them to speak to me. I didn't expect Leicester to grant permission. That sequence of events as much as anything else helped me to make my decision."He added: "There are one or two things that have gone on behind the scenes but I don't need to go into that."I'm not going to spend much time looking backwards and wondering too much, that's just how it was."
