Lol 😆 2 game loan stint with Stoke qualifies him as having experience in the English game. 

Why the hell would we want him?

Rowett is up there with the worse managers in our history. He is useless beyond comprehension

Get a proper experience manager in.

Quite funny because I genuinely confused him with eustace and thought he’d be good and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one

If we want safe hands for 2/3 seasons I’d be looking at Scott Parker.

You mean like we did with 1 win in 13 Rowett?

Scott Parker isn’t managing in the League one.

You can sense the elation in Rudkin as he primes his biro to tick the "experience in English football" box!

Darren Ferguson, the "League One promotion specialist" in talks. Hope he does as well as the Championship survival specialist, Gary Rowett.

We thought Cooper was bad, we got Ruud. We thought Marti was bad, we got Rowett. When will this nightmare end...

It sounds like we haven't even spoken to him. So what if he's 'open' to becoming our new manager? So would loads of other out of work managers.

[teblin]

Darren Ferguson is the name we are dropping in, so keeping Gazza or some other appointment doesn't seem as bad.

 

The longer we don't have a thank you Gary for your work, the more it makes me think he could be under consideration for the job.

he won't be, took us a while to say Dean Smith won't be coming back

[lanefox]

It's groundhog day, the remit for any manager should be to build the team around the academy players

I would think that Rowett is the fall-back option if a better candidate doesn't show up. They won't want to rule him out just yet and if the best they can attract is Darren fuching Ferguson then it's sensible.

Biggest issue I have with GR, is that he could've maybe been a bit braver. 

 

We did improves in some statistics with him, like we had more shots and looked more likely to score goals. But in the end he failed, and got less PPG that Marti and thats damning, though it did seem less passive than Marti's team.

Yeah this is my assumption too.

 

I'm sure Rowett would be better after moulding the squad to his tastes and having a pre-season with them, but he doesn't feel like a manager to lead a title push - which is absolutely what we have to be aiming for.

 

Also sends out the signal of yet again not realising we need to move in a new direction.

The thing that sticks out for me with Ferguson is when he was manager of Preston and they came to KP to play us. It was such a horrible style of football. Completely anti Top/Rudkin style. Just can see him being a legitimate candidate for that reason. 

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

I really hope we can find a better appointment than Ferguson, but having lived in Peterborough and known lots of Posh fans I can see the logic.
 

His teams have been promoted 5 teams (3x from League One) and he's won 3x EFL Trophies. At 54, he's hardly a dinosaur either.

 

He's a pragmatic manager - can be defensive when playing a better team, but when he had good attacking talent he'd play really attacking football (especially when he had Mackail-Smith, McLean and Boyd - 'the Holy Trinity').

 

Not afraid to use younger players as well.

 

(But hopefully we can get somebody better!)

This is where we need to see what McCarron is made of and whether he will be listened to by Aiyawatt and Rudkin. My suspicions are he has his work cut out but hopefully I am wrong.
