Pearson Strongly Linked With Hull

With forums this morning suggesting that Nigel Pearson was on his way out of Leicester, were easily laughed off by the Leicester City fans, however in the past couple of hours those bitter reports seem to be true, as Sky Sports understands that Hull City are in talks with Nigel Pearson.

The news has come as a major shock to many Leicester fans, as it was highly likely that Pearson would have signed a new contract with the “Foxes”, but when Hull City chairman Adam Pearson spoke out on his number 1 candidate, he stated that the manager he was after managed a Coca Cola Championship side last season. Cardiff denied reports that Dave Jones was the likely man for Hull City, however when Sky Sports Sources understood that it was Nigel Pearson in the frame Leicester City forums were hot under the collar.

Reports also suggested that Hull City were in talks with Pearson earlier today, and that Hull City have agreed a deal with Leicester for the former Southampton boss. Leicester is yet to deny these reports say local paper the Leicester Mercury. As soon as rumours suggested that Tony Mowbray was set to take over at Hull, the tides have certainly turned in the past couple of hours.

Is Nigel Pearson’s lucrative two season stay with Leicester City about to come to an abrupt end?
