Ferguson interested in Owls vacancy
Posh director of football Barry Fry made the claim in a press conference following Ferguson's surprise exit in November but Ferguson insists that there was no truth in the claim at all.[LNB]Ferguson told Sky Sports: "I left six weeks ago and I'm still out of work so there is obviously no truth in it at all.[LNB]"The first thing I did was go on holiday. I made a statement thanking the club for giving me an opportunity and left it at that.[LNB]"The club should maybe have done the same but I am not in control of what Barry Fry does or says.[LNB]"It was disappointing that he came out with that but I was not tapped up at all.[LNB]"The situation was clear to me, the club had lost confidence in me and you can call it mutual consent or whatever you want but we all know what it was."[LNB]Ferguson has been linked with a return to the Championship at Hillsborough and admitted that the job interests him.[LNB]He said: "Since I left there has been some interest but I decided to have a bit of a break and spend some time with my wife.[LNB]"But I am having itchy feet now and I want to get back involved and I would be interested in talking to Sheffield Wednesday."[LNB]Ferguson also revealed that a change in his transfer policy led to his contentious departure from London Road.[LNB]Confusion surrounded Ferguson's exit in November but he has now revealed that he left the Championship club after he asked to bring in some experienced players to aid his young squad.[LNB]Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony and Fry helped Ferguson win back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship with a strict policy of signing the best young players from non league.[LNB]But after a slow start to the season this time around, Ferguson was keen to supplement his squad with some veteran heads - a view not shared by MacAnthony or Fry.[LNB]Ferguson said: "I felt that given time I could turn it round and the most important thing for me was to get some more experienced Championship players into the squad.[LNB]"There was a difference in opinion on that and the people in charge lost confidence in me.[LNB]"I'm not bitter about it - that's football - but I never wanted to leave the football club.[LNB]"I felt the players needed a bit of help. They had done fantastically well but we were in a league that was a massive leap forward and we needed help.[LNB]"The average age was around 22 which was the policy of the football club but when we got to the Championship that needed to change.[LNB]"In a lot of games we lost goals quickly after each other - which they did again on Boxing Day at West Brom - and a few older heads could have maybe stopped that."[LNB][LNB]
