Buddie Marvelous Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Just noticed this from the St.Mirren News Now site...... https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/when-alex-ferguson-got-sacked-st-mirren-40-years-job-made-him On this day in 1978, Fergie was told to clear his desk at Love Street.

The body was an industrial tribunal for employment appeals the comment on his managerial skills referred to his administrative blunders, which st mirren dismissed him for. I am still on the fence as to whether or not it was a good decision for saints to sack him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 He brought amazing times left with a foundation built to one of the most successful period in the club's history. The state of the club before Fergies arrived was a shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
