BFerguson6 121 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 What are your memories of that day as the news of PLG stripping Barry of the captaincy broke? I remember the articles about how PLG had Murrays backing and Gavin Rae would be our captain as he was " a good trainer and understood the game" I genuinely thought Barry would be off to zenit or premiershipWho did you back? Did you support the protest for Barry at firpark?Obviously different situation but got me thinking who would the board/ fans back if McCoist and Jig fell out in a similar fashion Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottonRunt 978 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 In hindsight Ferguson should have went.If i am honest though, i backed Ferguson over PLG, results were terrible that season.I do remember PLG's first game against Motherwell though, best we have played since Advocatt if you ask me!

.Williamson. 82,402 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Probably should have given PLG more time looking back. Maybe we'd be playing football on the ground if we had have Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 If the results had been different PLG may have got his way with Barry but yeah at the time I backed Ferguson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo 588 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Was very much on the side of Barry when the story broke.In hindsight Barry was very much in the wrong but the dismissal of Le Guen benefited our football club.We brought in Walter got to a European Final the next season, won eight trophies in the next four seasons and made ourselves the dominant team domestically.Barry was wrong but it was a very good thing that Le Guen went in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 PLG was a clueless cunt. and he bought some utter shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,816 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 PLG tried to modernise the club, but he also showed incredible arrogance and that played a huge part in eventually costing him his job too.Scottish Football is so far behind the times that there were plenty of managers who could have done what PLG did in terms of trying to modernising the club, but not turned us into complete garbage on the park at the same time.

TheLawMan 6,240 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I backed Barry and still do. PLG was an arrogant twat. His initial success has been followed up with abject failure truth be told. He should have been over here learning everything as soon as he was confirmed as boss, but he felt he was too big for that.At the time as well, there was loads of things going on in training and at MP that werent right, all led by him, Yves and 1 other player whom i cant remember(wasnt Clement tho) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monk 3,207 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Barry was my hero growing up so I was obviously devastated but Paul le Guen if given time could have done a world of good for our club.Although Walter brought us some amazing memories when he returned Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP FC 400 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I never met PLG so I can't comment on whether he was arrogant or not.I was always willing to give him a couple of years to get it right.It certainly wouldn't have ended up any worse than what we have endured over the last three years.It would have meant no UEFA final, Would I sacrifice Manchester to remove the last three years, I sure would.

West_Side 1,571 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Explain to me how Jean Pierre Far fan was guff?Fanfan was signed by Macleish, and PLG got rid of him.No, PLG's greatest crime was releasing Big Marvin Andrews. That devastated the 12 year old me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The very notion of sacking a manager over a fallout he has with a player is preposterous.Saying that, I was young, and I backed Ferguson all the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wonder what would have happened if results would have went a bit better. Would we have spent the same £30-£40m that Walter spent when he came in, would Manchester have happened and would admin have came about.

weejoseph 2,773 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It could have been so much different under PLG if Buffel had scored half the fucking chances we made for him that first 4 months! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,474 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 PLG's main problem was he didn't want what we had and still have, Players then like now need a serious attitude adjustment and the next man to take the helm(hopefully very soon) will need to be one who can do this, I hope the next manager is foreign IMHO German and has the full support of the board.
