Darragh MacAnthony believes Peterborough United and MK Dons will soon be slugging it out in the Championship. Darragh MacAnthony is convinced both clubs will be celebrating promotion from League Two at the end of the season no matter what the result of their top of the table clash at stadium:mk .
And Darragh MacAnthony reckons that success will inevitably lead to Premier League clubs sniffing around after the services of Ferguson and Ince.
Darragh MacAnthony said: "It should be a cracker against MK Dons, but I am not looking at this match as the be all and end all of the season.
"The facts are that we have eight games left and if we win them all we secure the title so right now our destiny is in our own hands and nobody else's.
"I definitely see us going toe to toe with MK Dons in League One and The Championship over the coming years and I know that many of our current players will be involved as the majority of them are under 25 and have their peak years ahead of them with us.
"As for the managers being involved, who knows as I have no doubt both ourselves and MK Dons will have Premiership clubs banging the doors down to speak to both gaffers but hey if that doesn't happen, then success hasn't happened either!"
Darragh MacAnthony described the rivalry between the clubs as 'juicy', but revealed that he has developed a great friendship with Dons controversial owner Pete Winkelman.
Darragh MacAnthony also took time out to praise the Peterborough United fans for supporting his big ambitions in ever-increasing numbers.
More than 3,500 Peterborough United fans are expected to travel to Milton Keynes for the big game, while attendances at London Road have been steadily rising.
Darragh MacAnthony added: "Pete is one of the chairmen I get on with the best since I took over the club and he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
"His ambitions are the same as ours long term and I think that over the next five years this rivalry between our clubs will only get juicier!
"I am over the moon with our support and it keeps building and getting stronger. It's great for the city to have a football team doing so well and over the next 10 years our fan base will just get stronger and stronger."
