Report: Leicester City line up Tony Pulis to replace Nigel Pearson

Leicester City are reportedly lining up Tony Pulis as a replacement for Nigel Pearson as the board grow increasingly frustrated with the club's poor form.

The Foxes have lost five of their last six leagues games as they have plummeted to the bottom of the table.

Yesterday's 3-2 loss at fellow Premier League newcomers QPR has prompted the club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha to look to Pulis as a potential alternative to Pearson, according to the Mirror.

Pulis, who left Crystal Palace at the beginning of the season, has never been relegated in his 22-year managerial career.
