BREAKING: Darren Ferguson, Sir Alex Ferguson’s Son Darren SACKED By Peterborough
SIR ALEX FERGUSON’s son Darren has been SACKED by Peterborough United.
Ferguson, 53, leaves the Posh rock bottom of League One with just 10 points after 13 games.
The club is three points from safety but already boasts a -12 goal difference.
There have been three defeats in their last five games with the loss at home to Blackpool becoming the final straw.
The club’s chairman Darragh MacAnthony announced his decision to axe Ferguson with a statement.
He admitted that the coach is the “greatest” the club has ever had but that it was “time to go again”.
He wrote: “I have made the decision to terminate Darren Ferguson’s contract after today’s game. The decision wasn’t taken lightly but it’s a decision I feel is the correct one for the football club.
“The Gaffer is for me the greatest manager in the club’s history who I will always consider to be part of my family and the clubs family.
“There are too many wonderful moments to mention here but those many historical celebrated moments I will cherish and remember forever.
“Yes, we have had down moments, and it hasn’t always gone to plan but he has managed this football club like it’s his own.
