This is obviously just a joke and not intended to be taken seriously by anyone, anywhere.
Sky Sports is reporting that Barry Fry claims Fergie has a new job lined up, while Fergie has denied any such rumours.
However, it cannot be denied that there have been strong rumours about the Hull City job for a few days now.
We may never know what happened, so the following is pure speculation based on snippets of quotes from Darragh, Fergie and Fry.
It could be that, on Sunday, while Darragh was in Spain, Fergie told Fry he either wanted to leave, or that a club had made him an offer. There then followed two days of legal wrangling, during which time, The Sun published its exclusive, making Fergie’s position untenable.
Strangely, despite Darragh making it clear that a lot of the goings-on had to remain private for legal reasons, it is reported that Fry has divulged some of those goings-on to the media.
If it was true that Ferguson had a new job lined up at a Premier League club, neither the club involved, that club’s current manager, or Posh’s lawyers – presumably, would be happy to hear of it via a streaming news ticker on Sky Sports.
Meanwhile, Steve Cotterill has emerged as a rival to Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe in the race to replace Fergie.
