Laudbertz 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Selling the picture that got LeGuen the sack for �£9.99! I agree they probably shouldnt be selling that picture.... but that wasnt the moment that decided his fate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I still don't think the Ferguson thing was why he left. It might have been the final straw for DM, but it sounds like it was just a matter of when rather than if he was going to leave. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Would be extremely naive to beleive that. Naive of me to believe that PLG didnt leave because Boyd was backing Fergie? It was known before he came to the club that he was a pretty strict guy, and he showed that very soon after he joined by making an example of Ricksen. He again showed it by dropping Fergie. Of course that played a part in him leaving, but IMO all these fans outside the team bus after that game shouting at him to go home would have been the more evident part. Im not having a go at PLG, i never wanted to see him go and the team let him down badly with their performances and some of their attitudes. But at the same time, you cant overlook the fact that he just wasnt getting the results for us and that, over any manager or player, is the most crucial for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was agreeing with you and saying ackbar was being naive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Doesn't help the case for BF... True but then stats will tell you anything you want them too. Doesn't look great, but not reading too much into it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 True but then stats will tell you anything you want them too. Doesn't look great, but not reading too much into it. Was going to say the same thing. Also you can't say that BF was to blame entirely for the results whilst he was playing but there could be an argument that him doing "too much" for the team actually hinders rather than helps the team (from a tactical perspective). Me, being an accountant, stats only mean what you wan't them to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed stats can be used anyway you want but when backed by the said word of people who had not seen the stats before they appeareed makes them more believable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
