Yes I've heard the same actually. Fergies instinct was definately right on that one though! Remember the story about Kidd wanting to sign John Hartson? Fergie put him in his place that time
Still, I doubt Darren Ferguson would have been considered by the coaches if he wasn't Fergies son, it just so happens they were eventually proved wrong. Further to Ferguson seniors credit, not only did he ship him out, he left him out of the squad for the 91 cup winners cup final. That can't have been an easy thing to do. I fear for Fletcher the same fate awaits him Wednesday week
