How to assess Fergies time with us?

[dickos1]

I don’t think many people have an issue with the budget, Ferguson might have done cause like people have said he wanted to go for promotion nothing wrong with that we’ve certainly done it in the past.
But the budget is good enough to be in and around the playoffs next season and if it’s still the same as last year, getting rid of Williams baudry etc should leave the new manager enough to push on this year

This is a point isn't it. Some have criticised the fact it;s being claimed we had a Top 10 budget but not a Top 10 squad, but it has to be remembered that this included players like Williams and Evina who either barely featured or didn't feature at all, and replacing their wages with solid first teamers who are in the team every week alongside the other players we are already used to seeing in the side would straight away make us a better prospect. And we really don't have to get much better to be a Top 10 side, we very nearly did it this past season if not for that late dip in form.

Exactly right

Distinctly average.

The last two season have been purely down to him and we got promotion comfortably, probably the most comfortable promotion in our history. And last year we finished midtable which most people suggested before the season started would be a decent season.

I know why you have written that, but to give you satisfaction I will bite:

So it wasn’t solely down to him that we went down but it was solely down to him that we got the easiest promotion we have ever had and finished a magnificent 16th last season.

Happy?

How many transfer windows had he had for both those scenarios? How many of last seasons team were players he’d signed and how many of the relegation season were players he’d signed.

Not rocket science mate

 No it isn’t, of course.
However, I just admired your double standards.

I was wondering whos’ fault the slow, boring, no goals football was that we endured towards the end of the season.

Youve got your wish, save some of your negativity for when you’ll need it around September

Come on, no need for that.
I am not negative at all, it is just a rumour that you started.

If you mean that I wished for Ferguson to leave, you are mistaken.
I never said he should be sacked, unlike you.

I am off to watch England now, see ya.

Your constant moaning week in week out said everything that needed to be said.
Don’t always believe everything your little chum says either

Dickos, I have tried really hard to get on with you these past few weeks so I don’t know why you are being so aggressive in your posts to me.

However, to respond to your last message, if you look at my posts properly you will see that I didn’t complain week in and week out.
If I was unhappy about something I would say so.
Likewise, I praised stuff as well when it warranted it, including the manager.


Just out of interest, who is the little chum you are referring to?

[dickos1]

You must know otherwise you wouldn’t have made the daft comment about me wanting Fergie sacked.

Anyhow don’t matter, enjoy the summer and maybe we will agree on the next manager
