Reading had targetted Fergie, who still has two years to run on his contract at London Road, to replace Steve Coppell who left the club after their failure to gain promotion last season.

"I've always said that unless it was a Premier League club we wouldn't be entertaining any offers," Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire

"If a top club came in for him and met our valuation of course we would allow him to speak to them."

We've got the best young manager in the country, he's just claimed back-to-back promotions and we have a terrific group of young players," he said.

"What I can't understand is a Championship club wanting to interview him rather than just offer him the job, that to me was a bit of an insult."

"Is there a figure for Darren Ferguson? Like everything else, if it's the right club and it suits us then of course there is a figure."
