Ferguson's fury at £1m get-out clause
-
Sir Alex Ferguson's son Darren is in line to succeed Steve Bruce at Wigan.
Ferguson has just enjoyed back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship with Peterborough, confirming his managerial potential, and Wigan supremo Dave Whelan is a huge admirer of his motivational abilities.
It is unclear, however, whether Ferguson would be keen to take the job, having said that Peterborough have what it takes to gain an incredible third promotion in a row, this time to the Premier League.
He will also be mindful of the experience of Paul Ince, who was thrust into the hotseat at Blackburn after winning promotion with MK Dons, only to be sacked prematurely at Ewood Park.
Swansea boss Roberto Martinez has also been linked with the Wigan manager’s job but is said to be wanted by Spanish side Real Sociedad.

Ferguson's fury at £1m get-out as Posh boss eyes up vacant Reading post
Peterborough will demand £1million compensation if boss Darren Ferguson quits the club and takes the reins at the Madejski Stadium
Darren Ferguson is on a collision course with Peterborough over the club's compensation demand, which could wreck a move to Reading.
The Peterborough manager is on a three-man short list for the vacant job at the Madejski Stadium and is believed to have an escape clause in his contract which would allow him to leave Peterborough for a five-figure sum.
But Peterborough director of football, Barry Fry, is demanding £1million in compensation for Ferguson, who has led Fry's club to the Championship after two successive promotions, and a further £1m should he guide Reading to the Barclays Premier League.
Reading may turn to Swansea's Roberto Martinez or Watford's Brendan Rodgers.
