Wes Tender Posted 27 October, 2012 Share Posted 27 October, 2012 If you are going to be an arse at least get it right!! Ferguson's first season at utd they finished 11th!!!!!!!!! Finished 2nd in his second season! In his 3rd season he was under pressure from fans to go Good of Wikipedia to refresh my memory of exactly how bad that third season was, when they finished 11th. Following this and an early season run of six defeats and two draws in eight games, a banner declaring "Three years of excuses and it's still crap...ta-ra Fergie." was displayed at Old Trafford, and many journalists and supporters called for Ferguson to be sacked. But we must overlook this poor 3rd season of Ferguson's reign, as it is overshadowed by the previous season when United were second. I wonder whether CB Fry would consider that 3rd season poor or not? Dazza, your original point in comparing the early career of Ferguson at United, although some time ago, has some validity as it might have happened that after that very poor 8 game sequence in the 89/90 season, he could well have been sacked.

I am not quite sure what you mean by posting that list of managers. Those managers got their teams into the Premiership. I don't think that any of them achieved back to back promotions like NA. For some reason you are discounting the promotion he achieved when getting out of League 1. At the time that he took over you were already writing that season off. This was pointed out to you with much mutual laughter in our celebrations after the Plymouth match.

But Tamesaint has already pointed out that you have previous on getting it wrong before. We'll just have to wait and see how it all pans out this season. I'm not giving up hope on 10th after this few matches. But perhaps pertinent to remember that the thread is about Adkins' surreal approach to interviews and we're straying off course a bit.

I wouldnt swap for any on your list. luckily only appears to be few muppets on here, who knee jerk after handful of poor performances. Delldays isn't talking about replacing Adkins though. His pretty obvious point you miss is that Adkins hasn't proved anything yet, as a top flight manager. You can list out what you like but Adkins is just one of a hatful of managers who have taken teams up from the second tier. Mowbray, Coyle, whoever. You say you wouldn't swap Adkins but quite frankly if he was someone elses manager you'd look down on him just like you look down on all those other managers. Tony Mowbray plays attacking football, scores loads of goals and actually won the Championship title, something Nige couldn't manage. Adkins hasn't invented attacking football you know. Adkins might turn into the next David Moyes but he is just as likely to be the next Owen Coyle. Edited 27 October, 2012 by CB Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 27 October, 2012 Share Posted 27 October, 2012 (edited) Why would he say that he was being true to himself and happy if he didn't believe in what he was doing. Because what he is doing is playing along to his contract; a contract which looks like now has relatively little input into transfer activity. He is doing what he's paid to do; coach the team. The squad that has been put together by others is disjointed and not good enough; particularly in areas that the manager identified needed strengthening, and weren't. He hasn't said he believes in what others closely associated to his role are doing. I don't think he is happy with how the season is going, rather he is happy with how he is doing his job. Again; yes. His "control the controllablles" statement. He thinks he's doing all he can with a substandard squad. He's been let down by others. Perhaps.
