onefootwillie 1,518 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just had a thought what about Duncan Ferguson as assistant manager. He has been coach at Everton for a while now maybe ready to step up to an assistant now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullfighters take calculated risks. This would not be a calculated risk, it would be like walking into a bullring with your eyes shut. Its a foolish suggestion from Ferguson, who sounds like he is getting egged on by his paymaster to try and invent a story for Sunday. Each manager will have his own approach to how to deal with big stress right at the start of a job.   I'll respect any decision to either be part of the dressing room but in the background or just in the stand watching how the game unfolds, or not at the game at all and take the reins on Monday.  His choice. Mine would be to be part of the dressing room before the game then watch it from the stand.  Reason - I'd want to see exactly how each player, and the team collectively, deals with what is the biggest football occasions and more so because of the stresses of this season. I'd want to directly observe on how they seem to deal with it and to start to make assessments about what will be needed to generate the attitudes, preparation and behaviours he'd want to see in future dressing rooms.  Knowing the baseline via first hand observation should provide valuable insight into what adjustments are needed.   He doesn't have to say anything or do anything other than directly observe, and make it clear that all calls are Murty's.  Murty has nothing to lose in this - he is to be applauded for taking on a tough role in difficult circumstances.   He need not feel he's being overshadowed or 2nd guessed or anything like that if Pedro makes it clear he is just there to observe and if anything give a general word of encouragement.   But each to their own and if he felt it was better to stay away until Monday or just watch from the stand then fine by me. It's his call.  Personally, the sooner he is seen to stand side by side with his troops and to get a first hand feel for what is needed in games like this the better.   But only if its in his managerial nature to want to get involved right from the moment he arrives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAlex93 11,343 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Good insight in to what its like in the dressing room before kick off. Cant imagine how pumped up I'd be, the thought of running out against the filth with the blue jersey on gives me chills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

denya 1,661 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I wouldn't want Pedro taking charge of the game on Sunday without having had at least a full weeks preparation with the team to get to know them and understand them as a team. With him being in the stand to watch the game is the best thing for him to take in the atmosphere and soak in how much this game means and see the team play for the first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee chick would probably be the lesser of the evils because it could be any of them that does the ghost writing, unfortunately some of ours have let the likes of guidi and others like him do it for them, they fall into the trap of thinking that these people are doing it for them through professionalism but really in the last approx 30 years since they have been infiltrating all media outlets in Scotland they have been doing it to influence public opinion against the people they are writing for and again unfortunately some of ours are not clever enough or maybe too greedy to want to see it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barasa 802 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Another thing to worry about; supposing we beat the tarriers under McMurty. Pedro might wish he had a return ticket. That's the only reason he should maybe be in the dugout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,363 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Trouble is, back in Fergies day, we had a dressing room full of players that would respond to that kind of stirring up. I honestly think only Halliday in that current  squad would come close. The rest would probably just go, "aye, whatever"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
