Duncan Ferguson Moving On

[davek]

…I think he just didn’t rate him so didn’t use him. Ferguson was used to having the run of FF but suddenly he was unimportant.

i wouldn’t be surprised if he had a chat with Lampard about his situation & was told there was no role for him.

That too.

But he also compromised every manager's position at the club because of his chuminess with the first team squad.

You cant have that dual power structure at a football club. The manager is the boss and his word is everything, and every single player has to know that.

I could have sworn I saw him in the "behind the scenes" vid of the derby.

It looks as though Duncan is going to take up a management position at Blackburn.

If he does go, I wish him all the best.

I’ve got some great memories of his time here.

Nothing but love for the Big Man. It's great how he's really come out of his shell. I was surprised to see there wasn't a poll, "Will he be Back?" - 'Aye or Nae' which I would have said Aye! Good luck at whichever Spanish club you end up at.

I think he'd be great as a pundit. Would be hilarious to see him and Roy Keane giving it the bifters.

Giving it the bifters,longtime since I heard that, takes me back a bit.??

From what was stated he will always be welcome to visit us in the future - most probably looking for @davek aided with a large traffic cone - LOL

100% this.

Duncan has matured into a tremendous ambassador for the club but, most of all, for himself.

A shame Lampard phased him oot the door.

Say what you want about Dunc but he bleeds blue.

He said that alright but....
Duncan was an assistant under carlo, he was involved in the decisions during matches.
Under Frank Duncan was sat on the second row looking lost. Frank replaced him as assistant with his own people, essentially demoting him, I never saw Frank confer with him.
Of course Frank would say he didn't want a person who is loved at the club to leave but...actions vs words etc...
