Sacked McCann replaced with Darren Ferguson
-
Rinse and repeat.
-
McAnthony must have the smallest address book in football. Bet he saves a fortune on Christmas cards.
-
What's that definition of insanity?
-
Crikey. Well they both keep going back. It's not like they don't know the score.
-
It's a problem when the only man you trust to manage your football club is a shite manager so you have to sack him every so often to save face.
-
Unbelievable
-
They’ll be appointing GMC again in the summer.
-
Obviously a job share lol!
-
McCann to Portsmouth??
-
Less a recruitment policy, more a dysfunctional relationship.
-
I can't readily recall any manager taking the same job four times, even allowing for caretakers. :lol:
-
Blimey :-D

Martin Allen did 4 - maybe even five stints at Barnet I think....

Embarrassing from Ferguson. Where is the mans self respect? Sacked 3 times and he goes back. Incredible
-
Rinse and repeat.
The only coin in-the slot ?

He's doing it wrong. We all know that Ferguson has a strong start and then capitulates at the end of the season. He should get the first half each year
-
Fergie statistically is really successful he has a win percentage of 41% in nearly 800 games as a manager. I find him prickly at best but Copps always spoke highly of him & those stats don’t lie.
It’s hard to believe him and McCann can’t seem to leave mother Peterborough and both have become boomerang managers.

Frederik II: 1559-1588
Christian IV: 1588-1648
Frederik III: 1648-1670
Christian V: 1670-1699
Frederik IV: 1699-1730
Christian VI: 1730-1746
Frederik V: 1746-1766
Christian VII: 1766-1808
Frederik VI: 1808-1839
Christian VIII: 1839-1848
Frederik VII: 1848-1863
Christian IX: 1863-1906

Christian X: 1912-1947
Frederik IX: 1947-1972
Methinks there must be something rotten in the state of Peterborough :lol: :lol:
-
Quite unbelievable.
Is McAnthony stark raving mad?
-
They went up automatically in their last season in League One with a budget of less than £7m. Doubt many will go up automatically recently with a budget like that.
-
Well it isn’t far from Stamford to Peterborough so perhaps the club will pay him less travelling money than they would have done for McCann.
Diesel is expensive you know.
-
I checked to see if it was April fools day ...........
-
Doesn't McCann live out Stamford way as well?
-
He certainly did live down that way as he arranged a “local” friendly when he was our manager
-
Quite unbelievable.
Is McAnthony stark raving mad?
Fergies always done a good job for him though hasn’t he
-
Why not make them co-managers or one a home manager one an away one!! Madness
-
Word has it that the Peterborough fans are already calling for Ferguson to be sacked and McCann to be given the job.
-
Seriously what must the Interview be like .
Q1 why do you think you are the right man to lead this Football Club
Please feel free to add more and better ones.
-
Why has McCann been sacked. They are sitting just outside the play off places.
Where does McAnthony expect them to be.
Ipswich, Wednesday, Derby, Bolton, Portsmouth and a few others I suspect will have much bigger budgets than Posh.
The man’s deluded totally deluded. Then brings in a man he has sacked 3 times.
Quite mad. The man needs to see a shrink pretty quick.
-

But he is only capable of taking them so far. Once the going gets tough he starts blaming everyone other than himself.
-
I'd like to know how much he's been paid off in total from all his sackings. Ferguson must be laughing all the way to the bank.
-
Must be a way of money laundering lol
-
Fergie resigned last time and MacAnthony said he didn't want him to leave.
-
Putting Ferguson - who was not a good manager for us - to one side, they’ve no materially greater financial resources than us but are consistently more competitive and have a very strong track record of monetising talent for big return.
We are currently outside the play offs in the lowest professional level of the game.
-
I really liked McCann when he was our Manager. He was in the process of building something really special I reckon. The 2nd leg play off at Charlton is up there with my favourite Rovers games of all time despite the result.
The manner in which he walked out on us completely ruined everything though and I’m not sure that we ever really recovered. At the time of him leaving I was told by a very good source that Rovers did everything possible to keep him and significantly increased the transfer funds in an effort to get him to stay and finish what he’d begun. He well and truly left us in the lurch and that’s always left a bad taste in my mouth.

As reported by Kieran McGuire, it wasn't too long ago when they supplemented their finances with loans. This appeared to be one of the factors in why they were desperate to sell Toney.
We also saw Fry on TV lamenting their position last January, struggling against relegation suffering from injuries and struggling to attract quality players whilst being bottom of the league. (Very similar to our situation back then)
In addition, they were also lumbered with players who they couldn't get rid of being top heavy with contracted players. The flip side of the speculate to accumulate policy that tends to go unseen. Only the headline transfers leads people to believe their situation is better than it is.
Not saying that taking risks doesn't work but there are consequences.

Ferguson not a good manager for us??
Won promotion and signed Ben Whiteman, among others.
Copps rated him, alongside SO'D, as the best two managers he played under at Rovers.
Wonder what you have to do to qualify as a 'good manager'?
-
Bit unfair to miss out the relegation that preceeded the promotion.
You could argue he achieved promotion (although nearly made a mess of that) from League Two with a League One budget.
Also frustrations with him and his formations not working. For the good signings we also had some poor ones.
He said himself, he could have been sacked but we stuck by him.
I'm a bit more neutral on him. Afterall, he got us back to where we were when he started and it took McCann to get us into the League One play offs.
-
Looking at his thoughts about our club that he has stated, I guess any hope of signing any of the players from Peterborough have gone out of the window.

Not come 3rd in 1 horse race would do for starters

Maybe he wasn't SOD. But cast your mind back.... Maurice Setters, Steve Wignall, Keith Kettleborough. I know who I'd rather have.

Jackie Bestall. Two spells as manager, one as a joint manager, one as a caretaker.
Some managers seem to be an ideal fit for a particular club but don't seem to be able to enjoy success elsewhere. Mark Robins (Coventry) and Nathan Jones (Luton) spring to mind, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Dean Smith back at Aston Villa one day. Incidentally I don't think Southampton have won since Jones came in so he probably won't last long there.
-
Ferguson and McAnthony are made for each other .
Birds of a feather.
-
Properly weird situation for them. Seems to work somehow though. They’ll be trying to get in the championship while we’re a long way off L1. Not sure we can criticise too much really.
He must be good a sacking people for them to so often be happy to come back. I know he left things a bit poorly but can’t help feel Fergie would have been a good appointment instead of McSheffery. Not a massive fan of his but he did ok for us and certainly wouldn’t have been the needless risk GM was which really set the club back again

There is no way Fergie would have come back even if asked. He would have wanted a much bigger budget than what the board would have been prepared to give.

Lol. Lmao.

58 percent possession, 15 shots, 6 on target today. Got hammered 5-0 at home by Bolton.
