Under-fire Pearson 'committed' to Leicester job

Nigel Pearson has made it clear that he is completely committed to his role as manager at Leicester City.

Speculation regarding the King Power Stadium future of the 51-year old continues to circle as his side sits at the foot of the Premier League table, four points from safety.

After his side drew 2-2 with Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, Pearson spoke positively about the fortunes of the Foxes for the remainder of the season as he looks to remain in charge and guide the Leicestershire outfit out of the relegation mire.

"I can't do too much about what is being speculated on," he told Sky Sports.

"I always do my job as conscientiously as I can and I will continue to do that until I'm told otherwise. I am committed to the job.

"All managers work in situations where things can change quickly. I have always been very supportive of our owners and my view is that they will make decisions that are right for the football club and I do the same."

Pearson added: "We need to win more games. We get praise for our performances but they have not really produced enough points, we know that, that's why we are at the bottom.

"But we feel we are capable and have the belief to change our fortunes and we will do it."
