Ferguson resigned

[Filo]

I'd heard rumours of an abysmal budget and the high earners leaving not being replaced.

That's just rumours though Wes, no truth in that at all.

I've got to say, the evidence so far points to that though doesn't it.

I don't want to know the ins and outs of everything at the club, but I think it's high time we stopped being treated as plebs from both sides of the fence, it seems in football no one can lie straight in bed

[donnyfromwolves]

All you who wanted him gone.. Be careful what you wished for..
Board haven't given him enough money clearly.. Not a good sign!

[dickos1]

I agree it’s not necessarily going to be a bad thing, but he wouldn’t leave for no reason and he wouldn’t say he was left with no alternative. That’s what’s concerning me, we’ve got no money to bring in any decent players

Any link to the frightening rumour you heard?

Maybe yeah.
I was told then that the club had to take out a loan because of a cash flow shortage due to season ticket sales not being as good as they’d projected.

[silent majority]

The club have already issued a statement and an update will follow in the next 24 hours.

But for all those who are blaming the playing budget for this would be wrong. There has been no cost cutting with the playing staff and the club confirmed that to the supporters board and with myself.

I have a meeting scheduled with Gavin tomorrow, and we will discuss this again.

[Draytonian III]

What about DF @ MK b4 WC starts ?

More rubbish Dickos, can you seriously imagine Terry Bramall having to take out a loan??

[GazLaz]

Hopefully they don’t spend weeks and weeks recruiting like the shambles they went through last time.

But there's ZERO evidence to refute this, and there i a SHED LOAD of evidence to back it up

[coventryrover]

I think the club needs to get a positive statement of intent out ASAP. And follow it up with a quick and decisive appointment to take the club forward.

Of course there’s life after Fergie. Whilst I didn’t want him out, there were things about his approach that frustrated the hell out of me. But the implied cause of his departure is a concern. And for that reason I’d like to see the club speak and act decisively.

we don't need to rush...we need to get it right

is there

[silent majority]

Hopefully they don’t spend weeks and weeks recruiting like the shambles they went through last time.

By the same token they don't want to rush the process.

The application period will be open for 7 days.

More rubbish Dickos, can you seriously imagine Terry Bramall having to take out a loan??

More rubbish 😂

The club needed the loan not brammal of course.
You keep saying it’s all rubbish but the things that are happening don’t seem to back it up.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Bloody hell, anyone want to buy some razor blades?

The news is half an hour old. Let's wait till the club make their statement. Everyone is jumping in based on probably less than half the story.

Personally, I'm not too fussed to see him leave. I think he did a job, got us moving forward again, but his style of play had its limitations and his substitutions consistently baffled me. This is now an opportunity to appoint the right man to take us to the next level.

Sensible point.  The truth as is often the case may well stay quiet.  All parties will be judged on their actions.

If it’s be understood that a new one manger is here already , then the budget if true was their way of getting him out . Cheap trick .

OK boomstick I'll bite. Who are the high earners not being replaced?

[sedwardsdrfc]

DF leaving creates uncertainty which isn't good for the club but if we act quick and get a decent appointment on board it could be a good thing overall

Do we know if this applies to DF's coaching team, Strachan etc, too?

My money is on Neil Redfern

I hope not !!

Wouldn't be a smart business move though? If the club needed it wouldn't Brammall loan us it then the interest goes to him, not some bank or whatever.

Williams, baudry for starters

[Bessie Red]

Maybe Fergie knows he can't get decent enough results without a large budget because of his own limitations as a manager. Now because the Board wont give him that large budget he needs to be successful he has no alternative but to resign to save face. Let's be honest we know & the Board knows that there are managers out there that don't need huge budgets to get promotions at this level.
So maybe it's just a case of Fergie knowing he is not good enough to get where the Board wants without spending shed loads of cash!

Yes, the loan would probably have come from brammal

Dickos, you're the one who usually plays devils advocate. We are about 3 weeks into the window, theres still loads of time for replacements.

[dickos1]

I wasn’t saying they won’t be replaced I’m just saying they are the two high earners that need to be replaced

Until the last few years he'd been loaning us money for years, along with JR and DW. Nobody made a big deal back then.
