Shouting expletives at a supporter of your side probably isn't the soundest piece of advice, and Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson could now be sanctioned for allegedly doing so.

The Football Association charged Pearson on Thursday over his heated exchange with a fan during Leicester's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool earlier this month, in which he appeared to tell the supporter to "fuck off and die."

Pearson, who turned down the opportunity to apologize last week, has until Dec. 16 to respond to the charge. However, based off footage of the incident, which can be seen in the post below, it's hard to imagine he'll be able to win any kind of appeal.
