Please let us not forget that the quest for the title was a very clear and unambiguous objective of Ferguson. He pressed this point very hard after promotion was secured. After announcing this objective, the performances have, almost without exception, been absolutely and utterly risible.
That's what it points to. As I've said elsewhere, there is a reason that man is yet to win a league title.

He may not have won any league titles but he has four promotions. We have to bear in mind that we're Doncaster Rovers and, if and when the job comes up in future, I doubt Antonio Conte will be falling over himself to apply.
But we can't disregard what got us into that position in the first place.
By his own terms he has failed this season. His target was 2 points per game.
Who signed that joke of a keeper?He's said enough times what his target has been. He's missed it. I expect HR will call him in on Monday morning.
Combination of all of those things. Mixed messages from Fergie when letting the players (and club) celebrate before the entire job was done, and tinkering with the team. The work rate and determination in our last 4 games wasn't there and our big game players didn't produce. Still, it's made it easier for Fergie to sort the wheat from the chaff!

There's times when it seems madness to sack a manager but acceptance that he will take us no further is the sensible thing to do and in this case I think we're probably there. I was the biggest supporter of his appointment but he managed to make Paul Dickovs team worse, we entered this League having lost zero players bar the ones the club chose, easily the strongest in the League and collapsed in the worst way possible to win the title. Our motivation was dogshit last season and yet at a point when the players motivation should have been natural it evaporated again. I've seen Rovers fans genuinely predicting the League 1 playoffs again next season which is no more mad than the idea of sacking Fergie. It'd take a bloody big clear out to even dream of seeing the play offs and one of the best chances of achieving that is clearing the gaffer of his duties first.
Listening to Mr Daniels on Radio Sheffield after yesterday's debacle he was of the opinion that a Psychologist was needed for next season. Considering the performance over the last matches I tend to agree.
He got us relegated last season when it was comfortably in our hands to stay up. He lost us the title this year when it was comfortably in our hands to win. He got us promoted this season. Mixed bag really. We have to admit.
