I doubt the Beeb would want the obnoxious cunt back after his last interview...

...and Manchester United have returned to the negotiating table with Rooney and his agent. A new deal is delicately balanced, when Sir Alex attempts his own unique brand of evuncular persuasion...

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson ends BBC ban

 

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed to lift his ban on talking to the BBC.

 

Ferguson began his boycott of the broadcaster in 2004 after it made allegations against his son, Jason, in a TV documentary.

 

A statement said: "Sir Alex and the BBC have put behind them the difficulties which led to Sir Alex feeling unable to appear on BBC programmes."

 

United's next game is against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.

 

The joint statement, released on Thursday, follows a meeting between Sir Alex and the BBC's director general, Mark Thompson, and BBC North director Peter Salmon.

 

It added: "The issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

 

"Sir Alex will now make himself available to the BBC for Match of the Day, Radio 5 live and other outlets as agreed.

 

"No further comment will be made by either party on this issue."

But it is such a huge organisation that they will never apologise. They don't even care if you sue them or whatever, because they are so huge and have insurance. They carry on regardless and it's breathtaking."

 

.. so just like you and your fucking club then

Is there a story here, that I'm unaware of? Please explain.

 

Sir Alex Ferguson's son fined £1,500 for attacking estranged wife outside his father's house

 

The son of Sir Alex Ferguson has been fined for attacking his estranged wife in a row about their children. Darren Ferguson, 35, was accused of kicking his wife in the stomach on the front drive of Sir Alex's £2million home in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Nadine Ferguson, 28, the mother of Ferguson's two children, fell to the ground during the attack and suffered pains to her stomach.

 

At first the Peterborough United manager denied a charge of common assault and a trial was due to take place later this month. But he changed his mind and entered a guilty plea at a re-arranged hearing before Macclesfield magistrates. He was fined £1,500.

 

Ferguson, 35, admitted common assault but lawyers said his guilty plea was on a "limited basis". They insisted he had not kicked Nadine but that she had run into his raised leg.

 

As a result she fell to the ground and suffered pain in her stomach, they said.

Jonathan McGhan, prosecuting, told magistrates that Mrs Ferguson's relationship with her husband had broken down in 2006. Last October the couple had a "disagreement about childcare" at her home. Four hours later, the row flared again at Sir Alex's house.

 

Mr McGhan said: "At 6pm the same day the victim attended the defendant's parents' address with a friend and her children and there was a further disagreement with the defendant over childcare."

 

Ferguson's solicitor Edward Canty said: "The plea of guilty by the defendant is tendered on the basis that following a disagreement over childcare the defendant raised a straight leg with which the complainant collided causing her to fall. "The defendant accepts he was reckless in so doing but did not intend to connect or injure."

 

The court ordered Ferguson, of Gretford, near Peterborough, to pay a £1,500 fine and £200 costs as well as a £15 victim surcharge. Ferguson, now player-manager at Peterborough United, played 27 times for his father at United. He also played for Scotland under-21s. He married his 28-year-old wife, from Oldham, in 2003.

 

His trial had been scheduled for April 21 and a spokeswoman for Macclesfield Magistrates' Court said the decision to bring the hearing forward to Monday was made to free up court time. She denied that the hearing had been moved so that Ferguson could avoid media coverage.

 

"There was no reason for doing it to try to cover anything up whatsoever. It was only because that's what our procedure is. We need to free up court time," she added.

Aww!.God bless him.The urine stained,bulbous nosed nonentity must be mellowing in his twilight years.No doubt the agreement will demand that all interviews will consist mainly of sphincter teasing questions.

Of course he must be addressed as "Sir",hes a "Sir" you know!!.

A meths socialist.It makes you think what would happen if he was adressed as just plain old Alex.

"the defendant raised a straight leg with which the complainant collided causing her to fall."

 

Get. To. Fuck.

What next? The defendent acknowledges that he could have been more careful but if six million people are careless enough to wander into his gas chambers then the gene pool is better off without them.

 

As for his ould man, Roy and Harry have come good with their six points. It's whiskey galore, Sir's a genius and everyone's his besht mate. A couple of bad results and he'll turn into an ignorant prick again. Sorry, I mean when their backs are to the wall he will instigate a siege mentality.

I liked this phraseology "They insisted he had not kicked Nadine but that she had run into his raised leg."

 

it sounds more Blackadder-esque.

He'll have plenty of chances to grunt and be an ignorant prick. Their midfield is looking decidedly weak and especially so if Sneijder doesn't join, which looks more and more unlikely now. It wasn't great last season and they haven't strengthened it so far.

Chicarito has had problems, Giggs is old and can't do a full season and any injury sustained by Rooney or Nani could put them in trouble. Throw in a few De Gea blunders and it could be a difficult season for them. Well, here's hoping anyway.

And already he's making a twat of himself

Dan Roan

When asked about number of Utd players in England squad Sir Alex said, "the FA may realise who's produced more players for their country......

than any other club, & maybe get some joy from it at some point in their lives and realise how important we are for England, understand?"

"They (the FA) treat us like s***. They (the players) deserve to be there, they're outstanding so we're all pleased."

BBC Sport - Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson in four-letter blast at FA

 

Sir Alex Ferguson has accused the Football Association of treating Manchester United unfairly.

 

The United manager, hit with a five-match touchline ban last season, made the claims while talking about having up to eight players on England duty.

 

Ferguson, 69, said: "The FA may realise who has produced more players for their country than any club in the world.

 

"Maybe they will realise how important we are to England instead of treating us like s***."

 

In March, Ferguson was given a five-match touchline ban and £30,000 fine by the FA for criticising referee Martin Atkinson. He initially received a three-game ban for the remarks and saw a two-game suspended ban he had previously earned for saying referee Alan Wiley was not "fit enough" to keep up with play activated.

 

The following month, United striker Wayne Rooney was banned for two matches for swearing into a TV camera.

Those bans led to Manchester United chief executive David Gill claiming in June the FA had singled out the club for "harsh" punishments.

 

"There were some poor-ish decisions that wouldn't have necessarily hit others - the actual punishments were harsh," said FA board member Gill.

 

"That's not to say I'm condoning Wayne's comments, because I don't think they were correct, or what Sir Alex said, because it wasn't helpful.

 

"We're possibly being caught up in being one of the biggest clubs and the [FA's] Respect agenda being there.

 

"What better way to demonstrate the authorities are being tough than by hitting one of the biggest clubs the hardest?"

 

Ferguson's comments came as he spoke about the number of his players who could be called up by England this weekend.

 

Manager Fabio Capello is due to name his squad for next month's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales on Sunday evening, and United could have as many as eight representatives.

 

Ferguson is delighted with that but took the opportunity to criticise the FA over the punishments handed out to the club last season.

 

"It's not a problem, it's fantastic," he added. "Maybe they will realise how important we are to England.

 

"I am pleased for the players. They are outstanding."

 

The FA has declined to comment on Ferguson's accusation.
