Whatever you say, but if I were a player I wouldn't quite buy into it if my manager was in the wrong. And I wouldn't say it's the world vs. ManU, considering they're by far the biggest club in England with the world's largest fanbase.
Behave, he is creating a Us V the rest of the football world. rather then every person. He does it soo well.
I didn't mention it as I thought it might be more convenient to quote particular parts of the interview, rather than working through every single sentence which would be a considerable waste of time. Since you've brought it up I'll comment anyway. In my opinion the sentence you have quoted questions the referee's impartiality. I think the referee tried to officiate to the best of his abilities, so to cast doubt over his overall fairness is not good. Everyone can make mistakes. Don't forget refereeing is a very difficult job, and it's impossible to see everything that happens.
As to you and Sunil's whinge that other managers get away with it, just because other managers say it doesn't make it any more acceptable. I think Wenger and Guardiola should both be punished for their comments as well.
The rest of the interview is the important bit, he says he wanted a strong ref, which Atkinson is not. He has questioned his ability and got rightly charged. But he was honest... if he cant be honest, he might as well not talk.
Yet they get off with no punishment....
Well yeah, but the difference is he implied it.
Still, Giving the impression of, which still brings the game into dispute.. no?
Isn't this a disciplinary matter? It's pathetic from Ferguson again. Apparently the decision not to talk to the media, including MUTV was taken BEFORE the game, because Fergie is upset MUTV broadcast his words instead of leaving it out..
It's one thing not talking to the BBC because they investigated his son (apparently with every reason) and getting your assistant to do it, but not talking at all to anyone?
It is not pathetic, What is pathetic is you calling one of the greatest managers of all time pathetic on every thread. He can talk to who he likes when he likes.
I'm pretty sure he does. The FA keep saying they're going to fine/look into SAF ignoring the BBC and the decision was taken pre-match, so saying that he's doing it to avoid someone saying something stupid just doesn't work.. Unless he thought pre-game (again) that the referee would make a mistake.
They fine him, if he is happy to pay it. there is no problem. the only people he is proper contracted to see is the european games. Which he does....
Surprise, surprise.
This siege mentality to 'protect the players'... you think it is the best thing for them? About time they took responsibility for their own lack of effort. Wenger does the same, always cockblocking the media when it comes to player performances.
How do we know what happens behind closed doors...? Giggs has said many of time, Fergie still brings the hair dryer out and gives them good old fashion rollockings in the dressing room/ training ground... Fergie hasnt mellowed one bit.
What does SAF stand for? Sad Auld ****!!!
Sir Alex Ferguson, You know one of the most successful manager ever..
