Ferguson

[drfchound]

I was giving him credit for that but the relegation was down to him and sticking with a system that clearly wasn't working.

You’ve never given him credit for taking us from the bottom of the table to the top 10 nor for the easiest promotion we’ve ever achieved.

Anyhow it’s irrelevent we had these discussions 2 years ago, we’re never going to agree.
Time to move on

As I have said before, 1947 was the easiest promotion the Rovers have ever had.

[ExileRover]

He shushed Fergie whilst winking at him and doing the "loser" sign on his forehead. Bit unnecessary in my opinion and a bit disrespectful but Fergie certainly took the bait.

[dickos1]

Long before my time
Easiest promotion in 70 years then

[drfchound]

before my time too, but I had to look it up to stop you saying it all the time.

Ferguson is like someone who builds and flies their own plane, and is for the most part great at building it, but shite at flying it.

Then says the air traffic controller should be shot when he crashes it.

If you look at his record with other clubs he’s very good at flying planes at this level, he’s strugggkd at championship level but not really a surprise when your Peterborough manager in the championship.

He's done reasonably well when he's had a shite load of money to spend.

He has never, not once, exceeded expectations. He's a distinctly average manager but an embarrassment of a man.

Ferguson did the hand sign of "chatter chatter" back to him I hear.

[Donnywolf]

Yes and if he had looked back he would have seen a man nearly as old as his dad doing a w****r sign back to him

Muppet - him not me !

He did and Wilks wanted to go toe to toe with him until Mcann ushered him into the dugout. Fergie was an embarressment, compouned by his post match interview, he must have been watching a different game to me

He’s had the same amount of money as all the other Peterborough managers have had, and they’ve only ever won promotion twice both with him as manager

Getting successive promotions from league 2 to the championship cannot be described as doing reasonably well

You have no idea how much the other Peterborough managers have had to spend. That is more made up stuff.

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Groundhog Day.

[silent majority]

When Ferguson joined us he said that we needed 3 players to perform well in Lg1. He got his 3 player's and then promtly got us relegated.

In Lg2 he was given a Lg1 budget to get us back, which he did.

In Lg1 he was given a top 10 budget and finished 15th.

His football was turgid and his motivational skills lacked.

5 out of 10 for me.

Agreed, mediocre manager for us.

Did he meet or have any contact with any of the board would you know?

They’ve had the same owner, and spent similar money every season. As Evans did this season

[dickos1]

Not sure scoring more goals than anyone else in the division can be described as turgid football.
And at the meet the owners at the beginning of last season we were told the seasons aim was to consolidate and to push on the season after which we did comfortably.
You may not like him, he may not have spoke nicely to you but that doesn’t mean he is a useless manager

The turgid football was last season, especially after Christmas.

[dickos1]

Yeah so a spell was poor
But that doesn’t mean you can say his football was turgid,
People just conveniently forget how good we were that season in league two, the football was great as was the football for the first dozen games in league 1 when he first came

[drfchound]

We did have a L1 squad in L2 so should have been better than the rest.

[BillyStubbsTears]

And then we had a run only matched in our history  by the management  Weaver and Bergara...

I still to this day can't believe he survived that.

[dickos1]

Like I said before
You can’t give any recognition.

We had a championship squad in league one but we were bottom of the league.
Many people on here said we would struggle in league two that year, it’s there for all to see. But we didn’t struggle we got promoted at ease, yet people who didn’t like Ferguson can’t acknowledge it

[dickos1]

And then we had a run only matched in our history  by the management  Weaver and Bergara...

I still to this day can't believe he survived that.

Yeah we went back to how we were before he took over, he never really signed anyone that season. And he took over an absolutely abysmal squad

We weren’t bottom when Ferguson came in.
If we did have a Championship squad when he came to us why did he take us down.

No. We didn't.

We went back to firm that we've only ever seen under Bergara and Weaver.

[dickos1]

No we didn’t
We ended up where we were when he took over

Sorry 2nd bottom then 🙄

[BillyStubbsTears]

No we didn’t

Through having a run of form that has only been matched in our history by Weaver and Bergara.

That's a fact. It's odd to continue arguing the toss.

[dickos1]

Like I’ve said he was a victim of his own success, it was unbelievable how we found ourselves in the top ten. If he’d carried on struggling all season like we had been doing it wouldn’t have looked as bad but the fact that he initially transformed us from 2nd bottom to top ten just magnified the poor results when we went back to how we were

[BillyStubbsTears]

No.
The fact that we had the worst run in our history outside of Weaver and Bergara emphasised how bad that run was.

And once again. In terms of form, we DIDN'T go back to how bad we were before. We went to a situation FAR worse than anything we'd since under Dickov.

[IDM]

So our collapse to relegation was relatively worse because we had a decent spell before.??

It was shite, end of..

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I wish we could stop this obsession with him. He's moved on, why can't we?
