Duncan Ferguson got a job

Mikey_Fitzgerald · July 4, 2023

Someone in Scotland will give him a job I bet

League One or Championship

Billy Dean · July 4, 2023

Will likely never be a top level manager but hope he can carve a decent career out for himself at least

Took on an almost impossible job, granted, but apparently made them even worse. (According to the only person I know who supports FGR)

"Parting as friends" he had a lucky break there.

I think that's kinda the point.

They were doomed, but it seems the owners (or new DoF) haven't seen enough to give them confidence he has the ability to guide them back up.

Dave is quite rightly pointing out that a large portion of the Everton support were champing at the bit to appoint a vastly underqualified Ferguson to manage the clown show that is Everton.

It's genuinely mental how blinded some are by that freak Chelsea game.

A minority

Oh, it was an overall minority. But still quite a large portion.

Just kinda proves that a lot of people who watch football don't have a clue.

I mean, by all accounts it seems he was offered to. There’s a difference between being a good manager and a good coach though. Steve McLaren was an awful manager but is highly rated as a coach and went back to coaching.

Now they got their glamour friendly with our under 21's they give him the boot!

We need a poll to guess how long it will be before Bill brings him back here in some capacity.

Must have been holding out for the Forest Green job.

Never mind Dunc. You're still the tops.

Hopefully Forest Green fall out the main leagues next season. West Brom's only claim to fame was that we had been the highest ground in all 4 divisions since Football began till some smart Alec at Forest Green got some new fancy device to measure them and it seems they are slightly higher.
