Club Statement: Dave Challinor - Stockport County

Thank you for that, insightful.

I agree with almost all of this. The exception being, "sacked by a jealous board". Sacked by a suckered, stupid board AFAIC. I'm as certain as I can be that Aberdeen were champing at the bit to get Fergie. IF the board hadn't been so stupid as to fall for sacking him, Fergie would have, IMO, still moved on at the time he did, but, Saints would have got some cash for the move. The draw of Aberdeen was just as strong for Fergie as it was for Goodie and Robinson.
