Darren Ferguson has parted company with Peterborough United, the club say that the 37 year old has left by mutual consent following the loss to Newcastle at the weekend which left Peterborough propping up the Championship table.

Ferguson had led Peterborough through back to back promotions since joining the club in 2007, but the magic has deserted him this season as the club have managed just two league wins in what is considered to be the toughest division of all.

Ferguson’s reputation through his achievements at London Road have made him one of the League’s most highly respected young managers, he was refused permission to talk to Reading regarding their vacancy for a manager in the summer and was rewarded with a new four year contract. at Borough.

A statement from Peterborough United said:

“Following a series of meetings with the manager, Peterborough have decided to part company by mutual consent. The football club would like to thank Darren for his magnificent service during his time at London Road and wish him and his family all the best for the future.

Peterborough United Football Club wish to assure all it supporters that the perceived delay in announcing the departure of the manager by mutual consent was entirely due to the confidential terms and conditions that underpinned the agreement which was not approved and finalised until this afternoon.”

It will be interesting to see who is in the frame to fill the vacancy, but I feel sure that Ferguson will get the opportunity to move on to bigger and better things.
