‘An embarrassment’ ‘chest-beater’- Chris Sutton calls out brogues boss Ferguson

Chris Sutton can see right through the media hype and spin generated around the Barry Ferguson Revolution!

In blunt facts the interim boss at Ibrox has won four out of nine matches in charge, conceding at least two goals in each of his six SPFL Premiership matches.

But it seems that coming back from being 2-0 down at Aberdeen to delay Celtic’s title celebrations is some sort of badge of honour.

As the Park’s of Hamilton coach left Aberdeen this afternoon Ferguson’s side are 15 points behind Celtic ahead of the five post-split fixtures. For good measure Celtic are 42 goals better off than their city rivals in terms of goal difference.

Phil Clement, Micky Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst all had far better records than Ferguson, Beale won his first nine away matches while the other two waited more than two months to taste defeat.

With former team-mates scattered across the Scottish media and roles at Go Radio and the Daily Record as recently as February Ferguson isn’t short of cheerleaders.

Regardless of what his media mates are saying Ferguson is virtually certain to get the manager’s job on a permanent basis.

Any other manager can expect the media to come down on them like a tonne of bricks if they are losing two goals a game or have a record of four wins in nine matches.

The pie-in-the-sky takeover is on the brink of publically falling apart with the American consortium fulfilling their task of providing a moonbeam during the Season Ticket renewal campaign.

With no war-chest and full on austerity about to set in having a management team brimming full of Real Rainjurz Men will deflect some of the criticism when the usual cycle kicks in with James Tavernier the fall guy for next season, the final one on his lucrative contract.
