After concluding the press conference , Pearson muttered 'waxing away , my a*** ' under his breath . He was then further angered by the suggestion his team ’ s season was ‘ waxing or waning ’ with ten games left and seven points separating Leicester from safety . ‘ Waxing or waning , f****** hell . My a*** , ’ Pearson is heard saying as he finishes his press conference at the King Power Stadium . As he gets up he appears to utter the word : ‘ P****. ’ Pearson was irked at his players being accused of intimidating the officials given his stance on such matters . Pearson does not countenance such dark arts . In a December interview he said : 'People who are more cynical-minded might say I ’ m naive . 'There is a concern at the Premier League about the number of times that is happening . I hope my players don ’ t start doing it . 'There ’ s a difference between being streetwise and using intimidation of officials as a vehicle to win . I ’ d never cheat to win . ' He is fiercely protective of his squad and , in any case , replays showed only a couple put their arms up in appeal with the same number of Hull players arguing the opposite . The Leicester manager then seemed to call the journalist a ' p**** ' for the line of questioning . Pearson looks frustrated during another game where his Leicester side failed to win . It is a third controversial incident for Pearson this season . In December he was banned from the dugout for one game and fined £10,000 for telling a supporter to ‘ f*** off and die ’ after receiving sustained abuse . In February he was involved in a touchline exchange with James McArthur as the pair fell together . Pearson jokingly throtted the Crystal Palace midfielder then held onto his shirt as he attempted to rejoin play . The next day brought Pearson ’ s phantom sacking , when Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is believed to have wanted to bring the axe before his son Aiyawatt counselled against . Bruce ’ s comments ultimately triggered the exchange on Saturday evening . The Hull manager said : ‘ There is a raging debate about Chelsea in midweek . I ’ ve seen everybody surround Alex for a red card for his challenge . ‘ For me it is a perfectly decent challenge I would expect a centre-half to make . The reason we enjoy the Premier League is its honesty and integrity and if we ’ re going to go down the route of every other league jumping around , whinging , trying to get people yellow cards and red cards . For me it ’ s not right. ’ Pearson was asked if he thought it was a fair criticism . ‘ No , ’ he said , before entering into a tetchy exchange with the journalist which ended with him finishing the press conference in angry fashion , and swearing under his breath . Steve Bruce cited Chelsea in terms of the Leicester players behaved to try and get Alex Bruce sent off… . Did they ? Oh very nice . Do you think that ’ s a fair criticism ? No . What ’ s your take on that situation ? I ’ ve just said no . But what ’ s your take on a situation where all the players surround a referee ? How many times have you seen us play this year ? Three times . Well there you are then . You ’ re not in a position to judge my players on that . I ’ m not judging anyone . I ’ m just asking you… . You ’ ve asked me and I ’ ve told you . No was the answer . I don ’ t think it ’ s a fair assessment . Full stop . Do you consider that Leicester ’ s season is waxing or waning ? I don ’ t have to use that sort of analogy . We are in the same position . We ’ ve got ten games left , six games at home , and our home form has to be drastically improved for us to give ourselves the best chance . That ’ s it . You got any more questions you want to ask ? Obviously not . Yep good thank you . Waxing or waning , f****** hell . My a*** . P**** . Pearson seems to be feeling the pressure as his side remain rooted to the bottom of the table . The Leicester boss was unhappy at a question about his players ' behaviour leading to Tom Huddlestone 's red .
