Anyone familiar with Pearson's escapades in his final few months at Leicester won't be too surprised to see his time at Derby to end in tears, but few could've predicted the manner of his exit from the club. According to The Mirror, Pearson felt his privacy was being intruded upon after the owner deployed a drone to watch training sessions. Derby's owner Mel Morris reportedly used the device to "spy" on Pearson and the team, and to watch training from anywhere in the world. Pearson took issue with it and is believed to have confronted Morris over the drones, which signalled the end of his time at Derby. Neither Pearson or Derby have responded to reports of drones spying on training sessions, and the 53-year-old has yet to be officially sacked. The GAA Hour podcast is out every Monday and Thursday.
