Under-fire Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers stormed out of a media briefing shortly after his side’s 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The stalemate draw with the Eagles ensured Leicester now have their lowest point tally after 10 games since the 1983-84 campaign.
Scrutiny from fans has been growing on Rodgers but club owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has so far kept faith in the Northern Irishman. Sportsmail revealed last month that the six-year deal Rodgers signed in 2019 is thought to contain a significant pay off if he is dismissed.
The pressure on Rodgers became more evident following the draw with Palace, losing his temper after being asked a question which he deemed to be ‘disgraceful’, as per the Telegraph.
Asked whether reports of him being on £10million-per-year are accurate and whether this means he’s too expensive to sack, Rodgers replied: ‘I have read on the news what I am supposed to be on and I know for sure that is a total fabrication.
‘It’s nowhere near. I actually think it is a disrespectful question, very disrespectful. I never asked you how much money you are on or whether there is any blockage in your role from your owners.
‘I don’t think you need to worry about my wages. If there is a stumbling block in anything, you need to ask the owners that. It’s a disgraceful question.’
Leicester now sit 19th in the Premier League after picking up just one win from their opening 10 games.
