Not for me, hasn’t done anything to warrant it other than being an ex player and hero to many. He’s done nothing to suggest he’s tactically apt and capable of getting Everton competing in the top half of the PL. Great motivator and great coach (according to likes of DCL & Godfrey) but for me it has to be someone with bags of experience.
In an era stripped of anything for the fans to cheer about, Ferguson became a cult hero. The fact is, he was not fit to lace up the boots of any of our players in the 80s and was little more than a thug on the pitch. Passion, my arse, he loves us because we were the only fans that tolerated his thuggish behaviour, in fact we revelled in it.
It was lovely seeing him as a temporary stand-in manager, but you won't survive a season in the PL with passion and no plan. Just as you don't really survive with a plan and no passion.
If he wants to be our manager, go down the leagues and see what you can do, then if good enough you can come back. he is certainly not a suitable candidate now.
I don't want the FSW, but if he's the manger I'll support his efforts, despite not liking him one jot. Everton support is greater than the individual, apart from Fat Sam - I boycotted the club when he was there - the club never noticed.
