Not going to listen to it as it will be usual rhetoric and bullshit about made up injuries. We're in holiday mood AGAIN he will never learn, he is tactically inept. He stifles our attacking play which offers no pace or width. Same old thing  of sidewards and backwards. His football is boring, boring boring.

He’s definitely not renowned for boring football. Perhaps he may just be f**king with the prick he was given.

Can’t be, I was told nobody would ever come on here just because we lost.

On the contrary old bean i thought we deserved to win, and indeed should have done. Better team selection and tactical awareness may have helped

You’re ignoring the fact about how many goals we scored last season playing only boring football

Wouldn't disagree with what Fergies said. On chances, we shouldn't have lost the game. Two guilt edged chances came to Marquis and you'd expect him to score one of them.

It was a makeshift team and we saw some poor play at times. There was also some good play which created chances so no point beating ourselves up about it.

I would have liked to have heard him explain the very final words of that interview because they could be interperated in different ways. I would have thought most managers would be thinking about next season given this one has only two weeks left, very puzzling.

He can’t win though, if he’d said yes, people would say he should be concentrating on making sure we stay up first

Agreed Surrey.

He sounded pi$$ed off and seemed to suggest that he will be holding talks with the board about his future, or perhaps where Rovers go from here. I could be wrong of course, just how I interpreted that.

Yes I agree, it seems like he’s suggesting he might not be here.
Which is obviously worrying as whether you like him or not it would suggest the club is not wanting to spend the money it needs to, to progress

Maybe it’s refering to players he’s wanting to re-sign. Mind you, Butler has signed already, does that just leave Copps and Baudry??

Doesn't sound like that at all to me, just maybe he knows there's a lot to be done to mould the squad into what it needs to be for next season.
Title: Re: Fergie interview

Just how he says
There’s a lot that needs to happen before he can even think about next season

The interview was short and very generic questions as it was done by BBC Oxford from what I can gather.
He can only answer the questions he is given and when it came to the match I found him honest.
Title: Re: Fergie interview
Post by: Superspy on April 21, 2018, 08:26:38 pm
It could be anything, at the very least any of the following are contenders:

* his future
* players he wants to re-sign
* players he may want to mutually terminate the contracts of
* any youth players coming through to the first team squad
* the budget for next season in general

I agree with Lincoln, saw it as a fair summary of the game without excuses etc.

Glad it wasn't just me who thought that about him not being here next season by his comments. Very strange thing to say, obviously something has got to him or been said to him.

"I've been looking for a while and you've got to always have one eye on the future. There's a lot of things that need to happen and a lot of discussions that need to happen before I even start thinking about next season."

To me sounds like he either needs to talk budgets with the boards or to the out of contract players. Not at all like he's leaving (unless he's not given a decent budget).

Just listened to it and thought the same. Few posters clearly twisting hat comment a bit.

Me too. He will be talking to the board re budget , contracts and players he want out and in. Anybody who reads anything else into that 10 second comment is adding 2+2 and getting 10 imho of course!!

The clubs Budget dictates the entire mindset for DF next season . There is little doubt that this season was a ‘let’s see how far we can get, knowing we would be  unlikely to make any impact.
Today showed the lack of depth in the squad . When a 37 year old Player missing today is still our best player , only goes to show that to build a team to go up and compete in the Championship isn’t going to easy or even achievable without good quality signings and that means that the budget is unlikely to match DFs ambition. He could throw in the towel if the board doesn’t support an achievable pathway. DF is a Millionaire and doesn’t need the short sightedness that lack of ambition offers.

Wowa! Stop right there. Why is there little doubt, as you put it, that the mindset was lets see how far we can go and knowing we would not get anywhere? And pray tell me how you think the budget won't match his ambitions? Where do get this stuff from? The fact that DF is, or isn't a millionaire should be totally irrelevant.

His personal wealth shouldn’t mean anything BUT when you are standing frustrated as the fans watch your team not taking its chances and the very fans provoke you enough to turn and tell him to F*** **f , you could understand if felt he was waisted at the club as supporter vent their frustration at him , particularly when Fergie praises them every week . I’m sure at this time of the season DF is ready to take his family off to his favourite sun lounger, it must have crossed his mind to tell us all to “go forth and multiply “ as no job is worth that abuse.

Fella two rows in front of me shouted 'Sort it out Fergie'. It's one of many shouts, some more audible than others, but Kongolo was the main focus of displeasure.

Ironically, the shout came just as I thought we were getting on top, although there were some passes still going astray.

To be honest though, Fergie's reaction didn't bother me. I shouted a couple of times and had he have reacted to me, fair do's. If you give it, you have to be prepared to take it. The lad in front didn't seem too bothered either.

Darren Ferguson admitted to being disappointed by the ‘frustration’ inside the Keepmoat Stadium during Doncaster Rovers’ 3-3 draw with Bury. The Scot overheard from the dugout what he described as “harsh” comments from some supporters in the West Stand. There was also a smattering of boos at the full time whistle - although referee Carl Boyeson may have been the target of those.

-rovers-darren-ferguson-responds-to-harsh-taunts-from-west-stand-supporters


I sit in the west stand and have always thought that we were a quiet bunch relaatively speaking. Obviously you get some comments, but to me its largely good nature. Its no secret that Ferguson is a like him or not person who divides fans opinions. I don't like his style of play and won't be sorry if he goes, To take us down in the manner he did and then to finish third in a one horse race is still raw in folks mind and basically we are largely where we were when he came. Just my opinion like...

There are plenty of supporters dotted all around the ground ravenrover who shout that sort of thing.

Two/three rows back from me there are a couple of blokes who moan continually. Even at 3-0 v Fleetwood moaning that we should be getting 5 or 6.
Regular theme recently is shouting Fergie to sort it out.
If it were a tactical issue you could understand it to a certain extent, but it's when a player misplaces a pass, miscontrols the ball etc
Out of sarcasm a couple of us joined in, ball over roof, "build it higher Fergie" etc
