“No regrets.” Darren Ferguson via @[email protected] #PUFC #posh

From @[email protected]: “Peterborough United have a 100%-win ratio at Wembley, winning all five of their matches there. This is the most games any team has played at Wembley while winning each game; before today, Peterborough were level with Barcelona (4/4).” #PUFC #Barca

Darren Ferguson is a professional football manager whose job is to chase results not romantic headlines. Of course, it would have been lovely, all emotional and a media dream if he’d sent Tyler Young on at Goodison to share the pitch with his father Ashley, and share a little piece of FA Cup history. But not with the Posh pushing for an equaliser. Ferguson did what was best for his team not what was best for the media.
Tyler’s 18 and has played only 27 minutes for the club (in the Football League Trophy). Ferguson would probably have been similarly criticised if he’d sent on such an inexperienced player when he had stronger options. Everton’s second did not arrive until the 97th minute. That effectively ended the tie, which lasted another two minutes but Ferguson had used all his subs by then.
The narrative is inevitably given a further twist by Darren having been picked by his father, Alex Ferguson, for Manchester United as a teenager but it’s often forgotten that Darren was highly regarded as a young midfield player. He was a serious option to start. Brian Clough and Nottingham Forest, as well as Tottenham Hotspur, pursued him. Ferguson senior was certainly not the type to make selection decisions based on sentiment. And his son is clearly the same, and rightly so. Last night was a competitive game, not a testimonial jolly. #pufc

A reminder of how well Peterborough United often do transfer business. Posh gave Newcastle £350,000 for Ivan Toney. So far Posh have received, according to chairman Darragh MacAnthony, £10m from Brentford (£6m fee plus add-ons, inc goals, appearances, promotion, staying in PL and England). Posh now get a percentage of Brentford's profit from Toney’s £40m move to Al-Ahli. Judging by what MacAnthony and Barry Fry have said in the past that could be estimated as anywhere between £3m and £5m. Newcastle then get 30% of money Peterborough receive from Brentford. Still outstanding deal-making by Posh, who tracked Toney from the moment he played against their Under-18s for Northampton Town. And they then make players, especially strikers, better. Good recruiting/coaching by #PUFC. btw 1: hope Northampton get a slice of the Toney/Saudi action. btw 2: it surely ends Toney's England career.
