there are at best a dozen people on here who don't rate fergie and what he did for this club. I've no idea why they don't see what he did for this club. I agree with what the OP says. He took the crap aging useless team that Dickov left us with and turned it into something with massive potential.I also love the way some people accuse him of making the keepmoat a turgid boring place. For crying out loud don't they remember how dire it used to be in the last year of SOD's reign, how utterly utterly crap it was under Saunders and Jones and then how Dickov brought things to an all time low. Get a grip guys. I'm not saying he was perfect. And I agree his loanee's were generally shite but overall he did a great job for this club and after SOD Bremner and Penny he would be one of the best we've had.
Certainly some good signings by him - but let us not fall in to the trap of making him some footballing Warren Buffett. Long contracts handed out to Evina, Lund, Middleton etc who he then basically refused to play. Signing Etheridge then ruining his career. Bad loan signings. The clue is in the name though: “manager” and he struggled to manage. He delivered largely very poor football in League One and largely poor results in League One. The team looked ill-managed and as a result it was often not enjoyable to watch us play and we were all sacrificed on his alter of bizarre and ineffective formations that delivered only getting the worst out of an otherwise talented group of players. We got promoted (not as Champions mind) off the back of a massive budget for League Two.Some good signings, some bad signings, some professional changes to the club, some unprofessional comments while at the club, largely poor football and unable to cut it at League One level, so for me (and perhaps others) I would give him 6/10 - maybe 7/10 on good day.
Any respect I had for him dissipated today
To be honest, those chants were a result of how the game was going, and not at the start of the game..
Tried having a set to with Wilkes too
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.
Mediocre manager for us. He will be remembered by me for an avoidable relegation, a thrown away title and too many late goals conceded.Good luck to him after today though, I quite liked him to be fair.
He has also been relegated from L1 though.

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