QPR boss Redknapp defends Pearson over Leicester fan clash

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has defended Nigel Pearson over his clash with one Leicester City fan.

Redknapp said he couldn't understand why Pearson would get grief from his own supporters after getting them into the Premier League last season.

"Nigel is a very laid back, a very calm guy," said Redknapp. "I don't know whether he responded or not, but it is hard not to at times.

"He certainly doesn't deserve any abuse, especially from his own fans. He has done a great job at Leicester.

"I find that very difficult to understand.

"I have never had it with my own fans, I have been very lucky. But you get it with away fans.

"You can't let it worry you or you would be arguing with everybody. You just have to get on with it."
