[Albion] Complete Outsider

[tigertim68]

Duncan Ferguson

Extensive coaching experience in the EPL.

A huge character on the touchline and around the club in general.

A point to prove after exiting Goodison Park, albeit amicably?

Long term relationship with David Weir, our Head of Recruitment.

I know its a gamble, but then again Tony is a gambler, and IMHO a better option than Jones, Dyche or Parker.

Still would love Potch but maybe this is more financially viable?

What a silly suggestion

 

[Mancgull]

Ferguson would do well to get a job in league one and work his way up.

For what ? Member of the Scottish Parliament? Publican ?
This thread needs context.

I actually think Ferguson will become a decent manager.

But I can't see him fitting the bill with us.

We want continuity as far as is possible. It will and should be someone who has built a reputation on coordinated pressing, passing triangles, playing from the back and bringing through from the academy.

 

[Mellotron]

I could’ve guessed which manager you were pitching for a month, and I still wouldn’t have thought of Duncan Ferguson.

 

[MattBackHome]

This is a suggestion worthy of the late BG, may he rest in peace.

Yes genuinely what I thought as well.

I adore Duncan Ferguson as well but theres more chance of Duncan Norvelle getting the job.

Based on?

 

[TugWilson]

He would probably make a half decent League 2 manager , can see him putting fire in someone like Crawley`s belly , but not anything above Lower Championship .

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

He could double up as pitch side security at the same time, save the club a few quid.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Probably turned down several offers from CL clubs in order to stay with Everton

He actually DID, didn't he?

Ancelotti wanted him to go with him to Real Madrid, and he turned down the offer - only to be ditched when the new manager arrived.

A little story that a few Brighton fans might think about, when casting Bruno as a money chasing Judas.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Sod it, what about getting ALEX Ferguson onboard, too

 

[nicko31]

Leon Best, not a great player. But as manager surely worth consideration...

Chase me, chase me!

Yep. Big Dunc might be out of work and struggling to find a new gig, but at least he's still regarded as a club LEGEND in the eyes of a load of needy and over-sensitive fans

Didn't he used to manage Peterborough?


EDIT: Sorry, got him confused with Darren Ferguson! Let's get them both in!

Just because he had a rudimentary playing style and has obvious touchline passion doesn't mean he's stupid. He speaks intelligently about the game. Everton were vastly improved in the short space of time he managed them.

He's widely respected but he would have to build his way up. To me, it's far from impossible he goes on to have a decent managerial career.

The difference being that Tony Bloom would never have allowed a new coach/manager to have treated a club 'legend' like Bruno with such contempt - as a Brighton fan, Tony Bloom probably viewed Bruno with a similar level of reverence as those supports you're being a bit harsh on.

Says way more about the Everton board than it does Bruno... sadly.

Bruno has chased the money and (yes) laughably job security at Chelsea... It's so funny it hurts.

He's no Judas however, just another person who played (well) for the club. Consigned to history, which ended a bit limply - all by his own hand... his choice...

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Potchetino also casually dropped into the OP. Maybe both as the dream team ?

 

[Dr. No]

Duncan Ferguson

Where the hell is Dr. No when you need him?

No.
