The I Hate Alex Ferguson Thread!

You have to respect his achivements, but his abuse and berating of referees goes too far and sets a bad example from someone in his position. The referees union actually asked for Ferguson to be given a lifetime ban from football in 2009, when they were getting fed up with the contstant abuse they suffer from him. He also seems amazingly petty and vindictive at times, such as his long refusal to talk to Match Of The Day, even though he was breaking Premier League rules by doing so, simply because Panorama had dared to make a documentary on his son. He also showed his pettiness by banning Sky cameras from Man Utd’s press conferences after Sky Sports showed footage of him trying to identify a reporter who had asked a question he didn't like. Sky showed him telling Man Utd's press officer “we’ll get him later. Ban him on Friday”. That's not to say Ferguson doesn't do decent things as well. Several times he's asked Man Utd's supporters to stop obscene chanting about Arsene Wenger, who is not exactly a friend of his. Overall I think his behaviour is often poor for someone in his position and I notice his recent allegations about the player Tottenham signed from Standard Leige was never followed up by any official complaint by Man Utd.

he was sticking up for one of his family by refusing to speak to the bbc after they had no proof of what they accused him of i for 1 wud do the same, so he had every rite to do stick to his guns and do so! regarding the question he didnt like im not sure if u meant the ryan giggs question which had nothing to do with the upcoming football match which the press conference was for! we all shag about dont we i wud fuck my brothers wife, shes quite the milf!

So the reporter was out of order for asking a question unrelated to the topic at hand. But Fergie isn't out of order for snubbing the beeb for the after match interview, which is unrelated to the documentary about his son.
Little contradictory.

Actually no, he didn't have the right. Nobody has the right to break the rules whenever it suits them. Even unbearably arrogant people like Alex Ferguson should obey the rules, just like everyone else has to.

If he thought that Panorama had no proof he (or his son) should have taken appropriate legal action. I wonder why they didn't? No prizes for guessing.

No the BBC never apologised and have said they never will. I wonder why? No prizes for guessing.

The Man Utd board were clearly taking no chances and 2 days before the programme was broadcast they stated that they would have nothing to do with Jason Ferguson in the future.

As the Daily Telegraph reported it:

"Sir Alex Ferguson suffered his greatest personal humiliation in almost 18 years as Manchester United manager yesterday when, in a review of transfer policy, the club's plc board pledged never again to do business with his agent son, Jason."

but thats not proof is it? by the sound of it they just wanted to have nothing to do with him at the club cos what the programme has said about him so the club have distanced themselves from him cos its putting the club in a bad light! bad pr isnt good for any clubs image is it! has this son of his been arrested for this alleged wrongdoing? or have any authorities had him for this cos i honestly dont know but if the evidence is all there then im sure he has!
