IF JONES GOES - WHAT ABOUT FERGUSSON?

Fri May 27, 2011 7:59 am

DArren Fergusson that is?

A young upcoming manager, a cheap option, a great tutor! Contacts and access to quality loan players, been in relegation battles, promotion chases and playoffs, fresh ideas - some people will write him off straight away when names like hughton, big sam, oneill, Matteo & Poyet etc have been banded about, but I think he could be a good choice tbh, thats if jones does go mind!!

Can't see anything that merits Ferguson apart from the possibility of a few Man Utd reserves on loan.

Did well at Peterboro in Div 1 but struggled in the Championship. Was a complete disaster at Preston in the Championship and is now rebuilding his reputation back at Peterboro in Div 1 .

Not Championship quality in my opinion, and certainly not someone to take us forward, even DJ has a better track record than him :lol:

You can't compare the two with the squads and wages they've both had!!

You are spot on with the point about wages but not when looking at the squad he had at Preston. I would say that at least 5, maybe 6, would have got into our first XI but he still had a dismal record there with rumours rife that he had lost the dressing room .............. certain similarities there :lol: :ayatollah:

Well you live and learn don't you - and id rather pay him £200k a year than the £800k jones is on - the majority of people on here want to give someone like Sam Hammam a second chance so I'm sure a manager like Ferguson deserves one in the championship.... At least well be able to then offer a new manager a PROPER contract?!

bluddy hell what did you do?
go back to sleep, have a bath, cook and eat breakfast
get dressed then answer it :)

Whoops almost forgot my pennath worth.

i think furguson would be a good call, lets face it guys 2011-2012 will not be about promotion
it will be about re-building, re-structuring, and stabalising the club.

i think darren would get us mid table no problem and thats all we can expect from a season thats gonna have all the above going on in it.

His brain cell (yes notice the singular! not plural) takes a few hours to fire up in the mornings, much like Cardiff's under soil heating system..... :|

I spent the whole time just thinking!!!!

He's done a decent job at Peterborough, though he has had a reasonable budget there.

He turned PNE into a playoff chasing team into one who got relegated.
