Duncan Ferguson - The Coach

[Heath]

He cared about every 3/4 games.

Rose tinted spectacles off: he was self-indulgent and his antics almost cost us our PL status.

Like I said he wasn't man managed properly during his playing time here.

Amazing, or maybe not that as soon a a temporary appointment is made, presumably for just one game, out come the knives to carve him up. I imagine he and the team will get full support from those who go to the game on Saturday.

 

[firefighterblue]

I'll just leave this here...

Can't understand this adulation. Not a great player, not a good goal record, injured a lot, forgot about Everton to go to Newcastle and no coaching credentials. Don't get me wrong I think he's ok but far removed from a goodison great. But he will get my full support on Saturday. All evertonians need to pull together and support the team fully

 

[kev101]

Yes, because shouting at them will make them play better.

FFS.

No, but it'd make me feel better.

Joe Royle lost patience with him. Says it all to me.

 

[Old Blue 2]

I saw enough of that phoney at the time.

I can only say your appraisal of a striker is poor, and that's being kind. He was a good player in line-ups that can be well described as being as bad as we have now...

You referring to his injuries? Of course players like him are going to get injured he put himself about.

If you were alive at the time, you should recall that the team then was as crap as it is now. Not adulation, reality.

Probably says more about us as fans that we have a guy put in temp charge and we just slate him. Don’t quite see how arguing about how good a player he was has any weight to his credentials for taking temporary charge of one game we really could do with getting something from. Let’s just get behind him and the team.

Been alive since the fifties. I said he was an ok player scored some good goals especially the ones against United and RS but he wasn't consistent. Think cos of his build he was always close to an injury. I definitely want him to do well but just wonder what he brings as a coach

No not injuries - attitude.

 

[Heath]

No not injuries - attitude.

What attitude are you referring to?

 

[davek]

What attitude are you referring to?

His disinterestedness and failure to curb his on field violence. It nearly put us down.

Manager gets slaughtered
Temporary coach gets slated before his first match
Every perspective candidate gets dismissed as not good enough


What a ridiculous fanbase!

Like I said he was totally mis-managed from the time he stepped into Goodison (playing wise)

Plus managers never wanted to get the best out of him and couldn't see what he had to offer which was totally bizarre.
