You know he blatantly pinned the chairman down to get him to reverse his decision.

Hard manager to like, or feel sorry for. Always felt that his attitude in interviews was an attempt to compensate for the shitness of his team and his tracksuit.

tbf bbc went with it as well
At least the BBC story I saw mentioned it with the condition "heavy rumours on Twitter". Not reporting it as a fact like Sky were.
Seems different sources at the club said different things. Not sky's fault the clubs people didnt have their ducks in a row
Possibly. Still ridiculous and funny. Actually wouldn't surprise me if Leicester deliberately fed it to a select few to see who could keep their mouths shut and who couldn't.

If a fan had done that to a player they'd get a life ban and a criminal record.
It is common assault and battery.

If someone accidentally knocks into you in the street, you are not allowed to hold them down by the throat.

The FA should ban this thug, but probably wont.

I thought they were mucking around when he held him round the throat? (Conflicting news sources on Internet).

It was then him yanking him by shirt afterwards and preventing him from returning to the pitch afterwards that was the main thing? But then maybe the player said I had your mum or something as he was running back on cashing Pearson to flip out. It happens.

Telling Leicester fans to die on the other hand is a tad concerning...

He was said to be a top bloke when playing as defender / captain for Middlesbrough too lol.
