Situation when Sir Bobby got the England job 15:23 - Aug 16 with 2070 views | hector_clifford | Does anybody remember what happened at the time, and if Bobby or the FA wanted Bobby Ferguson as his assistant? We're there any other candidates to replace Sir Bobby? I imagine it was like trying to follow Alex Ferguson at Man Utd, but perhaps our decline wouldn't have been so steep and sudden, if we had looked at someone else. I bet some good managers would have been very keen on the town job. | |

He must have made a good impression during the Aberdeen uefa cup matches. Sir John must have missed those games! | |

He was sounded out but he felt it was too early to make the move from Aberdeen. | | | |
Situation when Sir Bobby got the England job on 15:51 - Aug 16 with 1977 views | nodge_blue | I do remember when Bobby Ferguson got appointed, he would often be saying in interviews "we've got no money to buy players" (because of the cost of the pioneer stand I think). It felt like the decline started straight away as the good players were leaving quickly and the quality just wasnt there. I cant see Alex Ferguson have been happy managing under those circumstances. | |

I remember around 2011ish being in the changing rooms at David Lloyd (Ipswich) and the town team at that time en masse would come and use the pool weekly ... Bobby would often be there chuntering away to himself at the same time and it was just such an odd but( totally understandable) feeling witnessing the lack of awareness that the players knew who he was and vice versa even...in fact Bobby seemed very irritated by these boistrous young men thinking they were Gods.....although it could have been just the shock of seeing J.Peters ass-et unclothed. Pablo (arrogant and unfriendly btw) virtually lived there at that time...well the bar/restaurant/airport waiting lounge type area. Would always see Bobby speed walking through Broke Hall estate around that time too,such a busy soul. [Post edited 16 Aug 2020 16:33]

That makes sense then. The bit about Bobby 'chuntering away to himself' bought Sir Bobby to mind. | |

Wadhurst Rd, Mrs F still lives there, our dogs meet and greet now and again! She told me they moved there from round the corner in Ashdown Way in 81’. I love that, your coach of one of the best sides in Europe, but are quite happy on an estate, and the ambition is to move from a semi to a detached. T really WTD! | | | |

I doubt he’d have come to anything anyway. Dodged a bullet there. Def info. | |
