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!
