WATCH: Of course Nigel Pearson features twice on the top 10 manager’s quotes of the 2014/15 season

Ostriches and arrogance

Darragh Murphy

If the Premier League season was decided over the last ten games, Leicester would have been challenging for the title.

The compilation of 22 points out of a possible 30 was an amazing feat but we’re still calling Nigel Pearson’s pressers the best bits of Leicester’s season.

The Foxes’ boss has had some preposterously entertaining quotes over the last nine months and we couldn’t be happy at the fact that we’re going to get another season of his unpredictable pronouncements.

Sky Sports have put together their top 10 quotes from managers of the last season and, unsurprisingly, Pearson’s ostrich tirade makes top spot.

Pearson’s criticism of referee Mike Dean also makes the list and he joins Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal as the gaffers who made the list on more than one occasion.
