Sir Alex Ferguson's son, Darren, is sacked by Peterborough with club BOTTOM of League One

Sir Alex Ferguson's son, Darren, has been sacked by Peterborough United - departing the club for a fourth time - after their latest defeat.

Ferguson Jnr has been in charge of the Posh on four separate occasions, first arriving in 2007 and leaving on Saturday for the fourth time after a bottom-of-the-table clash.

Peterborough, who Ferguson has led to four promotions in his various stays, are bottom of the League One table and went down 2-1 at home to Blackpool on Saturday afternoon.

'I have made the decision to terminate Darren Ferguson's contract after today's game,' chairman Darragh MacAnthony said in a statement.
