Hardly a surprise from Watford. They sack every manager they have before the season ends. It makes it worse because the club is a monstrosity. I see them getting relegated. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@burntchickennugget3519]

They don’t show the question to make Pearson’s response look more ridiculous; I remember the question being pretty daft and the response being somewhat warranted. There’s no need to take the response out of context! This was such an iconic moment regardless. Just include the question in the video so that people can see the whole incident.

[@lw1888]

I feel sorry for that poor old reporter. He was showed up in front of thousands of Leicester City fans

[@Jack-sc3dn]

I can't tell if this clip is better because Pearson can't think of his comebacks or insults quick enough or if it would've been even better had he effortlessly destroyed the journalist. What I'm talking about is the likes of when he says "you must be really silly or just very stupid, one of the two". You can just feel the gears in his brain turning to try and find a better choice of words for the second option 😂

[@GretatheEvilGremlin]

How many more managers are Watford going to have/sack in a season. There must be something seriously wrong with how the club operates for this to keep happening year after year.

[@CB-pu9pr]

As a Leicester fan will always have a lot of love for Big Nige, shocking to see him sacked after the jobs hes done.

[@Jaspauls]

Nigel deserves a top 10 club, in my view. He's gone through so much, and no top club has given him a chance. Everton, Wolves, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, all have yes men, and Nigel ain't a yes a man. He'd really kick players backside, at Everton, in my opinion.

[@howinsane1219]

This is fire

[@leakygussett4153]

Wouldn't like to be the guy to sack him. Would give him an enveloped letter then run.

[@lw1888]

Am I an ostrich according to Nigel Pearson?

[@mustafahussain4801]

Looks like Watford want to get relegated by sacking him. This man was the first to manage a team to a victory against Liverpool in the league this season. They were rock bottom and he rescued them to a salvagable situation, only for the players to go and let him down in that shocking first half against West Ham. I wont be surprised to see them lose both remaining games and holding out for Bournemouth and Aston Villa to draw or lose their remaning games.

[@nikaido5748]

Savage. I.ll follow his future teams.great coach. Watford current owner should be thankfull to Pearson for staying in Premier league one more season.

[@Jim-so3zm]

Even by Watford's standards sacking him is an absolutely ridiculous decision. Considering where they were he's done well.
