QPR manager Harry Redknapp has sprung to Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson's defence after he responded to abuse from a couple of City fans at the end of Tuesday night's defeat to Liverpool.
Pearson is said to have had a 'spat' with a small group of supporters behind the dugout and City have said they are looking into the incident.
Redknapp said he couldn't understand why Pearson would get grief from his own supporters after getting them into the Premier League last season.
"Nigel is a very laid back, a very calm guy," said Redknapp.
"I don't know whether he responded or not, but it is hard not to at times.
"He certainly doesn't deserve any abuse, especially from his own fans. He has done a great job at Leicester.
"I find that very difficult to understand.
"I have never had it with my own fans, I have been very lucky. But you get it with away fans.
"You can't let it worry you or you would be arguing with everybody. You just have to get on with it."
