So it transpires you can be sacked for who you are as much as for what you do. Nigel Pearson's abrupt defenestration at Leicester City, amid claims by the club of "differences in perspective", could more accurately be distilled as a toxic clash of personalities. He had, quite frankly, become a liability, his habit of revelling in his image as a brutish, unreconstructed PE teacher anathema to Thai owners who have set great store by moral rectitude and a spirit of goodwill. In an age when a Premier League manager is required to be at least plausibly ambassadorial, Pearson's incorrigible narcissism offered as solid a pretext as any for being fired.
Not that this is a popular view. Gary Lineker, who has repaired his own feud with Pearson, spoke for many when he asked Leicester, rhetorically: "Could you kindly reinstate him like the last time you fired him? Are the folk running football stupid? Yes." Alas, it is far too sweeping a brushstroke. Under Lineker's logic, every foreign owner becomes tarred as some dastardly interloper, ruining our game, corroding its soul, while underlining time and again the failure to appreciate the rough-edged characters that Harry Redknapp might call "real football men".
