SSN reporting Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct over his comments about Webb last week.

 

The SSN reporter ( James somebody ) crawling up Ferguson's backside in an obscene way saying he will be ' astonished ' at the charge as he was praising Webb & spectacularly missing the point that he shouldn't be mentioning refs at all in the lead up & that there were other comments going on about how they had been mistreated previously by referees. The guy in the studio was obviously embarrassed by the other guy's comments & tried to put him right on the above points but got nowhere.

It's pathetic.

 

Why wait so long to charge him? The comments were made 2 days before the Chelsea game. By waiting until after the game to charge him Ferguson little mind game worked. He cares fuck all if he gets ban after they've beaten Chelsea and won the title. If he clearly has broken the rules it shouldn't take a week to take actions.

 

Had the FA acted right away it would send a clear message and Fergusons comments would have reflected poorly on him BEFORE the game which meant it could have become a problem for them.

 

It's useless this way.

Someone seems to be willing to have a go considering the frequency with which he is being charged. It's a pity that the FA and PL in general are such a bunch of yellow, cowardly cunts that he will walk away from this without any serious punishment.

The only way these bans work if its a TOTAL ban from the ground for the day of the match. Sitting in the seats with a mobile is hardly a deterrent.

 

The fa should put them in a room with no access to even watch the game.

 

The only thing that will stop this is for the FA to start penalising clubs for the repeated transgressions of their employees - by docking points from the teams.

 

It's pretty obvious by now that fines and touchline bans mean nothing to Ferguson - well worthwhile if his media manipulation helps to influence decisions and gain an advantage.

 

Sadly, we all know it's not going to happen and this charade of being-seen-to-be-doing-something will continue ad nauseam.

 

Thank God we've got KK back to show that successful football management can be conducted with dignity, respect and humility.

The current punishments are no deterent to ferguson. Fine him 50 grand? Even if that's half a week's wage, its nothing to him. Ban him from the touchline? He just sits in the stand with a phone and barks his orders to his lieutenants so not great punishment there.

 

The only punishment that will hurt the twat is a points deduction. Until that happens, he'll just carry on doing what he want and to hell with the FA.

 

I wont hold my breath though.

You answered your own question mate.

Ferguson is a big girl's blouse.

 

You either suck his cock in his press conferences or he'll have you thrown out.

 

I'd love an up and coming journo to completely rip into him in one of these press conferences. He'd obviously be banned from OT but would be welcomed will open arms elsewhere.

I think he should get a stadium ban and the only way the F.A. can be sure this is enforced is to make him appear at F.A. headquarters on the morning of the match and have someone nail his hands to the wall, any volunteers? please form an orderly queue and wait your turn.

One of the other managers should have the balls to go public and blow him and his little tricks out of the water.

 

The last time someone did that, nobody backed them up. Instead, they were portrayed as mad, then the LMA ganged up on this person 3 months later. So I very much doubt there will be any change in the status quo.

Only two managers have ever taken him on, both foreign and neither received any backing only ridicule; although Benitez was pilloried slightly more than Wenger for it.
