Things were obviously different back in Peter's days at Man U, but it's obvious from the interviews that as harsh as Ferguson was as a manager, he also knew how to rebuild his players' confidence and keep the team united, pardon the pun. He also points out that a lot of the attitude and dressing room antics back then would be seen as old fashoned these days. The sport has indeed changed.

Maybe thats where Evans has gone wrong. Maybe he was good at breaking players down with criticism and "harsh reality" but not so good at picking them back up again? You can't build a new house if you only know how to do demolition.

Only people at the club at the time will really know, but the days of the screaming, angry manager on the sidelines are rapidly diminishing.

PS. I still think he'll end up at Wednesday if Rohl chucks the towel in. A few of my mates are Wednesday fans and it's a real, genuine fear amongst their supporters. Even before Evans got the sack from us those rumours were doing the rounds
I'm not sure fergy would be any good these days. As you say. Knock them down then pick them up. Players these ays don't need picking back up. They just move.
