Peterbrough have being promoted to the Championship. Fair play to Darren Ferguson. Hope they do well in the Championship next year.

He's been doing quite well, you know.
They did have a few United players on loan, to be fair.

Fair does Darren. That 2 promotions in 2 years is it
Not for a very long time. He'd turn it down anyway. Much better to stick to smaller teams.
Less pressure, more plaudits. Doing an admirable job with Peterborough.

I think there's a very good chance some Premiership teams will be looking at him. Two successive promotions is an incredible achievement. All the best to him. Wonder if we could sort them out a couple of players for next season on loan? Possebon, Martin etc.
Next Manchester United manager Jazz? Wouldn't bet on it but stranger things have happened!

2 promotions in 2 years is really great, and I think they could do well in the Championship. Darren Ferguson has built a strong side, and their football is always good to watch - they're not one of those boring route-one football sides. Fair play to him, can't wait for a Ferguson v Ferguson (hopefully) in a few years time !

hm wonder the odds
Ya never know. If Fergie sticks around for another 3 years then Fergie jr. could be ready to step up to the plate. 2 successive promotions is astonishing and its not as if his dad was really helping him out. I guess being a great manager is in his blood. Having Fergie jr. there would be great for continuity. He also knows his the club works since he played there and he would have his dad there helping him as well.

The chairman has announced that he wants to be in the PL in 2 years. Pretty high standards which hopefully he achieves

it would be good to send out the likes of possebon, martin or even Macheda? (assuming f.campbell doesn't get loaned out) who knows, he said "dad can i have a defender" so fergie gave him james chester on loan 0 we'll just have to see
Good point HD.
Sending players out on loan to the Championship is more beneficial to the players' footballing education in the long run. The Championship is a good, tough league. I'm sure we will see a few players going to Peterborough next season.

Interesting thing about MacAnthony and his business. He moved to Spain at 16/17 and built up that business from scratch.

Yeah, but they have a very close relationship, so would be a good rivalry...Would be intriguing if one day father and son meet as rivals on the pitch.
