I mean that stuff with when he wouldn't let go of that player and shoved him in the neck and now rambling on at a journalist.

He's certifiable isn't he?

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.

Really dislike this man. I want him, Leicester and their muggy Harry hating fans out of the division and to stay out.

Pressure....

His team seems to be performing alright, their form is good and hope they stay up, have shown some real balls to pull them so far out of the shit.

Pressure none the less. Bloke sounds like a looney tune.

Yeah totally bonkers no doubt, but is it an act? To be hoenst he doesnt seem bright enough for it to be but its a possibility.

On the one hand I agree, he's a massive cluster-**** of a human being, but on the other his cringeworthy tough-guy act is actually quite entertaining.

On balance, I hope he goes down with Leicester, but takes over at West Ham when Fat Sam gets sacked. The best of both worlds.

We know journalists can be ultra annoying at times but this was a very unbalanced reaction imo.

He is that sort of bloke that keeps trying to start fights to prove that he's still got it.

He isn't intimidating in the slightest and clearly doesn't command respect of anyone which probably pisses him right off.

The time he wouldn't let go of that player should have seen him banned for as long as the FA could as although it was passed off as banter it was evidence that the guy has a screw lose and needs to be brought down a peg or 2.

Absolutely crumbling under pressure. Patronizing prick. Reminds me of how my headmaster in highschool used to speak to me.
