Darren Ferguson sacked as Peterborough manager
Published 18:14 09/11/09 By By Alan Nixon

Darren Ferguson was sacked as Peterborough United boss on Monday - a week after Mirror Sport revealed he was facing the axe.

And the Championship's bottom side was left looking less than Posh following their lame denial of our exclusive that Sir Alex Ferguson's boy was on his last legs.

Ferguson was given the chop by chairman Darragh MacAnthony just after losing to leaders Newcastle United, but the move had already been lined up before the match.

The young Scot had been summoned from a coaching course in Wales to be warned about his need for instant results - and he failed to deliver at the Toon on Saturday.

Peterborough denied that Ferguson was under pressure but sources close to the young gaffer reveal he had previously been told to start getting results by demanding MacAnthony weeks ago.

And pals of Fergie junior also reveal that he is relieved to be axed as he had grown frustrated with the expectations and financial restraints at London Road. He could well be snapped up quickly.

Ferguson took Peterborough from the League Two obscurity he found them in and guided them to back-to-back promotions. But that was forgotten when his team made a slow start to the Championship campaign.

Now Posh will start looking for a successor, trying to cover their embarrassment in a hurry after their attempts to hide the Ferguson crisis.

Just a week ago their reaction was: "Peterborough United would like to state that the story in the Daily Mirror on Monday claiming that Darren Ferguson was called for 'summit' talks with chairman Darragh MacAnthony on Sunday is pure fabrication and untrue."
