Sacked Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson is being linked with Tranmere Rovers.

The People says Fergie junior was controversially axed by Peterborough United last week, but the Scottish boss has been lined up by League One strugglers Rovers - and is poised to accept.

The son of Manchester United chief Sir Alex is keen to bounce back immediately and even cash-conscious Tranmere appeals to him as he thinks he can turn them round.

Young Fergie - and his assistant Kevin Russell - will be able to start immediately as there will be no compensation, one of the final details sorted out in his protracted Posh exit.
