However, I didn't 100% buy into him. He obviously has had some lower league success and understands the game, but there's something missing from his management style. Not sure exactly what it is, but he's certainly not his Dad. He doesn't have 'it' as a manager, but he was an improvement on Dickov. He's certainly moved the club forwards in structure I think, even if we are back where we were when he came in in terms of league position.We played some nice stuff. We played some f**king awful stuff. He didn't seem to be able to stick to a system and some of his decisions, playing players out of position a hell of a lot, were bizarre. And every season he lost his way towards the end of the season. Every season.I'm actually excited to see what happens next. I certainly don't believe our board is tight. And I don't agree all this b*llocks about them "not being football people" - utter crap. RTIDCrikey PDX, how high is that fence you are sitting on.I have mixed feelings about Fergie. I think many do. He was the manager and had my support but there was something always a bit off IMO. Just how I feel. Ambivalent is the word.

Big Sam is available 😊
Quote from: Filo on June 04, 2018, 10:50:33 pmAnyone else find it strange that the news broke on the LMA website first, and also the fact that we've heard nothing from Fergie for weeks, I wonder if this happened some time ago?Ask Martin he will discuss this when he see Gavin and be able to tell you when the decision was made.

Chuck my thoughts into the pot.I said a few weeks ago he's had his head turned by MK, apparently they said a big war chest was available for the right manager to get them into the championship within 3 seasons.My thoughts on the board. They new most of the fans had or were turning against Fergie. They wanted a new manager in, probably had one in mind since the last day of the season. Watching Wigan get the trophy on our pitch when he blew it the season before. His rolling contract was up on 1st of June, they new he'd turn them down if we had a crap budget. Win win for themOf course this is all pie in the sky..... Would be strange though if Fergie went to MK, our new manager was given a decent budget.
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.

Well I'm chuffed to death! What a dull season, team, manager. I felt that my brain was beginning to numb at times last season. For me this shows ambition by the board. Mr Ferguson believed he was an above average manager but his results just didn't back that up.My guess is that the board just didn't believe he could take us any further despite how much brass they were likely to throw at him. He was lead to the door and he jumped (to MK Dons) with a little push. Clever business men!

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.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. 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.TB invests countless millions to DRFC, he's never taken anything out or charged a single penny in interest. Its just a ludicrous suggestion that the club would need a loan, commercial or otherwise, to cover a lack of income in ST sales. Especially since ST sales exceeded expectations.

I would expect a Caretaker taking over most duties to be announced soon,possible Redfern or strachan,with the permanent manager taking weeks to be decided.
Drover,There were loans obviously, but TB and the Watson family converted all their loans into share capital, thereby writing off all debt.

The new appointment will need to be done a lot more quicker than the lost one though.
Something dorsn't add up, he gives Copps a new contract and then resigns
