What is the problem with Nigel Pearson? (Update: Sacked by Leicester; or not?)

He's already had issues with profanity and criticising the fans, but this takes the cake.
What in the absolute frick?

While the Palace man was flat on the ground, Pearson appeared to put his hands around McArthur’s throat and pin him to the ground. He appeared to be joking at first, although the incident took a more serious turn and Pearson refused to let go of McArthur’s shirt to let him back onto to pitch.
Quoted by the Daily Mail, Pearson revealed: “He said something to me.
“I don’t have to reveal anything do I. I think I’m more than capable of looking after myself.
“Listen, I’ve got a lot of respect for lad, I think he’s a good player.
“Clearly you know what happened in the summer with the possibility of him coming here.
“I’m as disappointed as how he was with how things possibly panned.
“But that’s nothing to do with me or the player – it’s the other football club which was involved in it who take absolute responsibility for anything that wasn’t quite right.
“And a certain manager who opened his trap when he should have kept his mouth shut. I have absolutely no problem today at all with the lad. I think he’s a good player. He’s a likeable lad, good for him.”
McArthur played down the incident on Twitter.

@Dorselator: Confusion at #lcfc 2nd source has cast doubt over reported Pearson sacking. Huge change in 2 hours! Awaiting official club statement.

That video was super awkward to watch. I understand he may have had an issue with the player, but that reaction was bizarre.

What in the frick? I doubt he lasts the week.

Pardew got banned 7 matches for the incident with Meyler. That wasn't nearly as bad looking as this.

He's been sacked. Not necessarily related to the OP.
