LEICESTER City have parted company with manager Nigel Pearson, according to widespread reports this evening.
It seems that as well as their poor run of form, that Saturday's touchline incident with Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur is the final straw for the Foxes' owners.
Leicester are rock bottom of the Premier League on 17 points and have won twice in their last 19 Premier League games.
McArthur fell into Pearson's legs on the touchline at the King Power Stadium after going in for a challenge and could have no way gone anywhere else as he landed.
Pearson wasn't even watching the midfielder's tumble, so when he made contact it was more of a shock to the former.
The manager went to help McArthur up and also appeared to have the player by the throat - and as he got to his feet, Pearson didn't let him go too easily to resume play.
The incident was played down by McArthur post-match, while Pearson says something was said to him by the Scottish international.
