This was The Mirror 1st Nov
Fergie on the brink of shock sacking (that's Darren Ferguson, not Sir Alex)
Published 21:50 01/11/09 By By Alan Nixon Recommend
Darren Ferguson was called to a summit with his Peterborough United bosses last night as fears astonishngly grew that he would be sacked.
The son of Manchester United chief Sir Alex Ferguson has seen Posh get off to a poor start to the Championship campaign, losing at home to rivals Barnsley at the weekend.
And despite two successive promotions the young Scot is now feeling the heat - with ambitious chairman Darragh MacAnthony having talks with him about the future in a showdown meeting.
Ferguson junior was at a coaching course yesterday but then had to dash to learn his fate in a move that will surprise many in the game.
Posh have come from League Two through League One and also reached the last 16 of the Carling Cup until they lost at Blackburn Rovers last week.
Young Fergie has also been linked with bigger jobs since he followed his famous father into management, but he has stayed loyal to Peterborough United and will be hoping he gets some back.
Dad Sir Alex will also be stunned and watching developments. He has been supportive of his lad, sending players on loan and visiting London Road for a friendly.

Guardian Darren Ferguson on the brink at Peterborough• Championship's bottom club reported to have sacked manager • Posh refuse to comment on Ferguson's future Buzz up!

Photograph: Tony Marshall/Empics Sport Peterborough United have refused to comment on reports that they have parted company with their manager, Darren Ferguson. The 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday saw Peterborough slump to the bottom of the Championship and reports are suggesting that the club have decided to look for a new manager. But the director of football, Barry Fry, and the chief executive, Bob Symms, both refused to comment when they left the club's London Road offices on Monday afternoon. Ferguson, the son of Manchester United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, was appointed in 2007 and led Peterborough to promotion from League One last season. It meant the Scot had earned back-to-back promotions for the Posh following their elevation from League Two the previous year. www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/nov/09/peterborough-darren-ferguson-sacked |

"Everyone" is reporting it - except for Peterbrough! Goal.com Sir Alex Ferguson's Son Darren Relieved Of Managerial Duties At Peterborough Darren Ferguson not deemed Posh enough. Peterborough United have parted company with boss Darren Ferguson, according to a Sky Sports report. The Championship club have moved to relieve Ferguson of his managerial duties as "Posh" are currently in the precarious position of 24th. They have amassed just 11 points in 16 rounds of league action. Ferguson was initially praised for the manner in which he secured back-to-back promotions, however, the club are alleged to hope that a new manager will bring with it a change of fortunes. Peterborough suffered their third successive loss in all competitions at the weekend, after a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United. Ferguson had signed a new four-year deal in the summer. There is yet to be an official comment from the club - who are declining to release a statement. The inclination amongst the British media, though, is that Ferguson is the latest football league manager to be sacked.

Peterborough Telegraph
10 November 2009
By Mark Plummer
Darren Ferguson's reign as Posh manager is over.
Ferguson's position was the subject of intense media speculation yesterday (Monday) after reports of his dismissal emerged.
The Evening Telegraph understands manager Ferguson has been involved in crunch talks with senior club officials during the past two days.
All parties were tight-lipped when leaving London Road late yesterday afternoon, but director of football Barry Fry later confirmed the current position.
He stressed that Ferguson's departure was yet to be formalised but expected both parties to conclude negotiations on the matter today.
Fry said: "Nothing surprises me in football. I and the club would like to thank him for his miraculous achievements with the total support of the chairman in the near three years he has been at the club and we wish him and his family all the best in the future."
Ferguson could not be contacted by The Evening Telegraph. His assistant manager Kevin Russell's position was unclear last night.
Bookmakers have already opened markets on Ferguson's successor. Former England Under 21 chief Peter Taylor - a man sacked by League Two club Wycombe last month - was installed as a 4/1 joint favourite with Steve Coppell.
Rookie Oxford manager Chris Wilder, who has guided his team to the top of the Blue Square Premier Division, has been suggested as a candidate.

And the idiocy...Louise/Taylor: The Guardian
Peterborough United are fools to have sacked Darren FergusonIf Posh were a 'normal' business they would be a role model of how not to behaveTHOUGHT FOR THE WEEK? In dismissing Darren Ferguson Peterborough United have made fools of themselves. If Posh were a 'normal' business they would be a role model of how not to behave. Instead they are a football club and have blithely fallen into the trap of: a) Sacking the manager who has won them two straight promotions after a poor, but not disastrous, start to a season. b) Firing him immediately after an understandable defeat at the division's outstanding team and likely champions. c) Ending up engaging in an unseemly wrangle about a pay-off having made the arguable error of awarding him a lucrative four-year contract in the summer when, among other clubs, Reading and West Brom wanted to poach him. d) Committing the public relations faux pas of refusing to confirm or deny his axeing. When I telephoned London Road shortly after 4pm yesterday I was informed the press department had gone home for the night and were non-contactable by mobile phone. Oh dear – a complete blueprint of how not to run a club. Thanks to his family name and his father Sir Alex's contacts, Darren Ferguson is unlikely to be out of work for long and may even land a far higher profile job. But that is missing the point. Ferguson junior has been treated outrageously by a panic-stricken, knee-jerk reactive, board. Granted his apparent "bloody mindedness" – memo to Darren, being "nice" isn't necessarily a weakness, don't think you can get away with emulating some of your father's more arrogantly dismissive behaviour – almost certainly did not help but Ferguson deserved the benefit of the doubt. As Barry Fry, Peterborough's director of football, put it today, when finally conceding that Ferguson had actually departed: "Nothing surprises me in football and I and the club would like to thank Darren for his miraculous achievements in the nearly three years that he's been at the club." Note Fry's use of the word "miraculous". Considering Peterborough were languishing in League Two only two years ago it is surely understandable that Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Newcastle pushed them to the foot of the Championship. And, for goodness sake, Posh are just one point adrift at the bottom and only four short of safety. There seems to have been a bit of a personality clash with Darragh MacAnthony, Peterborough's chairman – apparently he seized on information leaked from the dressing room that Ferguson had told his players "they weren't good enough for the Championship" on Saturday evening – but is that enough to cut adrift a manager who raised Peterborough's profile beyond almost all previous measure? After all if MacAnthony had kept Ferguson a little longer he might have earned a big fat compensation cheque when another chairman, dazzled by the family name, lured Darren away. Now Peterborough seem poised to move for either Peter Taylor or Steve Coppell – although Chris Wilder who has led Oxford to the top of the Blue Square Premier is a dark horse. Personally I'm a big Taylor fan but the irony is he fell victim to precisely the same syndrome as Ferguson when Wycombe sacked him earlier this season. His crime? The team were struggling to adapt to League One life after winning promotion last season. Ferguson might have been better off narrowly missing out on the Championship last April. If so he, and Posh, might instead of parting company be jousting for top spot in League One with Leeds United right now – and everybody would be saying what a promising young manager he was. Sometimes it really is better to travel than to arrive. www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2009/nov/10/peterborough-fools-sacked-darren-ferguson

Barry Fry reckons he's been tapped up. He believes he's got a job already.
They came to an agreement over his contract, he certainly wasn't sacked.
Let's see where he turns up, could it be Dhull?

Sport Hull
HULL CITY: Ferguson denies he has job lined up. FORMER Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson has insisted claims that he already has a job lined up are "100 per cent untrue". Ferguson's odds have tumbled to be the next Hull City manager following his departure from the East Anglian club. He left the club by mutual consent yesterday, after his side slipped to the foot of the Coca-Cola Championship. His availability has led to reports suggesting Ferguson could replace Phil Brown. But with Posh director of football Barry Fry saying he believed Ferguson already has a job in the Premier League lined up, Ferguson has come out and denied he already has a job lined up. In a statement issued through the League Managers' Association, Ferguson said: "Unfortunately, Barry Fry has today intimated that I already have a new position in place. "I can categorically confirm that is 100 per cent untrue. However, these comments have not impacted upon my feelings towards my time at Peterborough United, the players, the chairman and the support. "Three years ago Kevin Russell and I arrived at Peterborough United, a League Two club; we left yesterday, having taken them to the Championship, and we wish the club all the best for the future of the club." www.sporthull.co.uk/hullcity/news/HULL-CITY-Ferguson-denies-job-lined/article-1504498-detail/article.html

PFA's Give Me Football Q&A With Peterbrough Chairman Posh chairman takes the hot seat
Darragh MacAnthony explains Posh decision to part company with Darren Ferguson By Dave Smith November 11, 2009 Peterborough owner Darragh MacAnthony reckons Darren Ferguson had lost belief in his players whilst Posh director of football Barry Fry has added another ingredient into the mix by declaring that Fergie Jnr already has another job lined up. Fry said: “I think Darren will get a job very soon and my own personal opinion is that he already has one. He will get a chance at a big club and he will do very well. There is no doubt about that.” Now let’s hear what MacAnthony has to say.... Q: What prompted the move to part company with Darren? A: Barry had a chat with Darren on Sunday about another issue and after that chat we decided it was time to go. The last thing I expected this week was to spend time looking for a manager but that happens in football. Q: What’s next for Darren, do you think?
A: He is free to go to another club now, our business is done. He can work for whoever he wants.
I'm not saying that he has been approached by another club but I don't expect him to be on the shelf for long, put it that way. Q: Where now for Posh? A: The main thing to talk about is that we no longer have a manager. We have enjoyed terrific success over the last three years under Darren but we as a football club have to move on. I believe that these players are not a bottom of the table side. We can be in the top 12 and then move on from there and we're going to get someone in who believes in the players. Q: Who have you got in mind for the manager’s job? A: I gave Barry a list of six people who I think can do the job and we will get someone in very soon. I want it done and dusted in the next few days. We have had over 200 applicants already and managers who are at clubs in the Championship have sent in their CVs to me already. I have a profile of who I am after and a policy of bringing in youth and it is a policy I will continue with. The fans have to trust me. I know what I am doing, and that is the best for this football club. Q: What’s your response to Eddie Howe saying he’s happy at Bournemouth? A: I have seen that Eddie Howe rejected the chance to come here but the reality of the situation is that we approached the chairman and he was stopped from speaking to us. The criteria is someone who can lead us to a top-12 finish and who can sort us out defensively. If we get it right at the back then we can have a hell of a season. www.givemefootball.com/championship/posh-chairman-takes-the-hot-seat |
