I talked about the injustice of the possibility of sacking Phil Brown on this blog a couple of weeks back (http://football-thebeautifulgame.blogspot.com/2009/10/rumours-abound-but-phil-brown-remains.html). He has survived for now (although I just get the feeling the club is waiting for the "right" (wrong) result so that they can say goodbye).
Well, blow me, if Peterborough United haven't fallen foul of the same stupidity!
Boss Darren Ferguson has "left by mutual consent".
"Following a series of meetings with the manager, Peterborough have decided to part company by mutual consent," read a club statement.
"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."
"The Posh" are bottom of the Championship, but there are only 16 (of 46) games gone. What on earth does the Peterborough board expect?
This is a club that was in League Two when Ferguson took over. He took them up in 2007-8 and straight through League One last season. Now, 16 games into the following season, he's out!
His "crime" is achieving too much too soon.
The real crime is at board level.
