5 Game Touchline Ban For Fergie

[Bradley]

Is he actually an alco?

 

[Judge Jules]

No, he can give it up any time he wants to.

Am I not right in thinking he has an FA official sat with him to make sure he cannot make contact with the bench via mobile or smoke signals or pigeon post whatever?

If true, whoever gets that job will be gutted

Man U are not appealing the ban but have asked for it to take place with immediate effect, so, he'll be back in the dugout for the game away to Arsenal.

 

[Spionkop69]

So the ban was supposed to start after the next game. Utd ask for it to brought forward so he can be on the bench for Arsenal and the FA agree.

What's the point of having rules if they just change them as and when they like?

Told you lot it was bullshit.

Laughable, however completely expected.

wouldn't surprise me when he dies if the FA make every club wear "SAF" above their crest

Ha ha ha !

I note with interest that Fergie had a fucking private line to Phelan yesterday.

Fucking rubbish.

To say his punishment is harsh, by the way, is putting it mildly. A £30,000 fine on top of the ban is nonsense too, especially as the FA will pocket that. Why? Who are they to take that money? Give it to the people in Japan or Christchurch instead.

When I got fined earlier in the season, I asked if I could give it to the family of Gary Parkinson, our youth team coach who had a stroke, but the FA wouldn't let me.

Quite why they have hit Sir Alex so hard I'm not sure. He is the greatest manager at the greatest club and us mere mortals can't even begin to imagine the pressure he is under every single week to get results.

One day I'd like to be in a similar position, managing a club where everyone expects you to get three points in every game. But for now I couldn't bear the thought of it. It would be too much. The Premier League is such an incredibly intense level and even now, seven months into the season, I am still getting to grips with it and learning how to handle myself.

Sir Alex has been doing it for more than 20 years and has been incredibly successful. He has single-handedly ripped apart Liverpool's record of winning the most titles and it is frightening to think of how much effort he has had to put in to do that.

You have to take that into account; the fact he must care more than anyone else because he's the sole architect for his club's modern-day success.

So it is no wonder that if a referee makes an error and it costs his team, Sir Alex will speak out. He is only human. For the FA to punish him so harshly for complaining about what everyone else can see with their own eyes, I just can't understand.

I feel sorry for his staff too. I was coming out of my local Spar when a bloke leaned out of a car to say hello. It was Mike Phelan and he said he wasn't looking forward to going into work the next day because after getting hit with a five-game ban he knew what mood his boss would be in!

If the FA were trying to prove a point, they've certainly done that. But I'm not altogether sure it is fair when it wasn't Sir Alex that made a mistake in the first place.

I can't read the interview with all of holloways semen covering it

*checks*

Oh that is the interview

 

[themn]

Too much Fergie dick-riding from a supposed "lover" of this club.

I wonder if he still made a donation to his youth team coach ?
