All Ferguson has done since becoming part of the first team coaching set-up was drop cones on the grass for the players to run around and collect the balls up at the end. He has had no input in the dressing room or ever been part of the manager's inner circle. He's just kept his head down and done whatever Martinez wanted of him, probably because he was worried about being given the boot if tried to interject. I would like to the see new manager retain him (and Unsworth) and give him a bigger role, let them help plan the tactics for games and take whatever advice or opinions they might have to offer seriously instead of just sitting there pointlessly waving at supporters. If the new guy wants to bring his own team with him and replace everyone who's been left over then fair enough, it will be his right to do that and we should give him and whomever he brings in the benefit of the doubt, least to start with.
Overall I'm extremely glad that gang of wasters Jones, Lawrence and Bergera have been chucked out as well, all have been robbing a living as far as I'm concerned. If we as supporters could tell they were all absolutely useless then imagine what the players must have felt having to work with them everyday. Taking instructions from a bunch of blokes who never played as high as the Championship in their own careers as well as the fact that the previous team that they coached ended up getting relegated. How uninspiring must that be? Not saying all coaches need to have previously been boss players but they at least have some sort string to your bow. I saw absolutely nothing from any of them to suggest they were qualified to instruct Premier League footballers how to win matches.
