A total dick of the highest order. If he can't be civil and answer the questions in a mature manner then he shouldn't go in to do post match interviews. Add this to his episode the other month with the Palace player and he looks more of a dick!

Wasn't there also an incident with the fans earlier in the season too ?

Jimmy Bullard absolutely wrecks him in his podcasts. Said Pearson gives off this persona that he's a strict hard man but apparently one on one in his office, he's a bit of a wuss.
He comes across as a bit of a dick, but this incident keeps all the media interest away from the players and solely on him ahead of a crucial against Newcastle on Saturday. Win that game and they'll be one point behind the plunging Geordies...

I don't think Pearson is a Mourinho esq mastermind of criticism deflection.

I've gone from quite liking Pearson (to the extent you can like someone you've never met!) to thinking he's a complete bellend in one season. You've got to hand it to the likes of mourinho for whom it's all theatre and underneath you get the impression is a decent guy (my opinion). Au contraire, Pearson comes across as either a genuine dick or losing the plot/ill.
Despite it being towards a palace player, he should have had the book thrown at him for the strangling incident earlier in the season.
He's one of those managers that (actual ability aside) I wouldn't want to see at our club, purely based on his attitude & persona, which is one of the reasons I also wasn't a fan of Peeters............
Gordon Strachan was infamous for his post match outbursts at journos. That changed when he became a pundit and he is somewhat more understanding now.
Having said that, some questions are so pointed and designed to create a headline that I don't think it's wrong for those inventing such stories to be kept on their toes from time to time.

I agree, however in this case he was asked a question based on a statement that Pearson himself made only 30 seconds earlier. Sounded to me like the journo was just asking him to elaborate further, nothing malicious whatsoever.
I honestly don't remember Leicester players going under that much criticism either, I would have asked the same question as the journo in this case. There is definitely something not quite right with Pearson, maybe he's not well maybe he's on the booze but he's clearly not got his head together at all.
I think he might just be in too deep. A highly pressurised job in the top league. The likes of him, Adkins, McDermott, those championship managers who claw their way in...they don't really do a great job at press conferences. Unlike those guys, Pearson appears to be a twat on top of his inexperience. A proper bully.
He once fought off a pack of wild dogs with just a walking pole when hiking alone in the mountains in Eastern Europe so apparently he's not someone you can mess with...
I think he was under pressure already, and then when there was the whole Pearson sacked, oh no he has been reinstated saga it shook him and he is now hiding behind some kind of persona.
The whole, dont worry I can handle myself rant from a few months ago for example.

Pearson started to mimic him by going 'erm' etc as well.
It was as others have said, just bullying
