Ferguson a chip off the old block - Allardyce
Sam Allardyce believes Darren Ferguson has inherited the managerial magic from his father Sir Alex.[LNB]Ferguson guided Peterborough to successive promotions in the last two seasons. Posh finished second in Coca-Cola League Two in Ferguson's first year as a full-time manager, before repeating the feat in League One last season to earn promotion to the Championship.[LNB]For the time being it seems the Midas touch is something that runs in the Ferguson family, and Allardyce for one is convinced that a great deal of wisdom has been passed on from father to son.[LNB]"It has been absolutely wonderful, he (Darren Ferguson) hasn't experienced failure yet at all," Allardyce said ahead of the Carling Cup tie between the teams.[LNB]"For a young man dropping into his first job, it can often be a tough time in terms of making a team with fewer finances, and sometimes your inexperience can cause you a problem. But it hasn't for him and he has obviously inherited a lot of the top qualities of his dad.[LNB]"Two promotions back to back is a huge achievement for any manager in any division - very few will have their name in the record books with that. Being such a young manager when he has done it, in his first full-time job, is brilliant."
