The suggestion doing the rounds is that Nigel Pearson might be in the frame to re-join Leicester City. This is ridiculous paper talk! He was unceremoniously stabbed in the back to make way for Sousa after doing an incredible job for our club. No permanent manager of LCFC has a better win ratio than Nigel (51%) and yet he was "allowed to leave" having got us promoted from League 1 at the lowest ebb in the club's history. He followed this up with a Championship Play-Off place and we were a couple of penalties away from Wembley. Letting him leave was one of the biggest mistakes in the club's recent history!
He moved to Hull, taking solid professionals like Hobbs and Fryatt with him. Players, who incidentally, were deemed not good enough under subsequent City managers. He has steered them to 6th place in the Championship and has got them ticking with 6 wins and 3 draws in the last 9 games. Why on earth would he throw all that away to return to the club that ditched him less than 2 years ago? Perhaps he will come back for the job security that being Leicester's boss brings with it?! I think not!
