Fergie and the BBC

[TBM]

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

[Vision]

He'll soon revise that when he's faced with Garth oxf*rd Crooks' inane bollocks every week.

[Silver Fox]

A son of the Govan shipyards was always going to relent once the Beeb hated on the tories enough

[T.R.O.L.I.]

IIRC, there were already moves afoot to essentially "force" Ferguson (and other managers with a problem with the BBC) to talk to the BBC anyway - in a similar fashion to the CL rules about managers speaking to host broadcasters.

Self-important kunt.

The BBC should hit back by bringing back Gerry Adams' voiceover man to dub over him.

at least hearing 'player x coming back from injury is like a new signing' in a different accent would finally make it sound a little fresh

[Terminal Boardom]

But what will become of Mike Phelan?

[Gordons Cumming]

I think the BBC should insist on talking to Mike Phelan only.

Stick 2 fingers up to Fergie.

That would be interesting................

lol!! Agreed.

[TBM]

Fergie has only agreed to it cos he keeps getting fined - he'll do about 1 a month and Phelan will do the the rest anyway

[AthleticoSpizz]

Welcome back Sir Alex

This is brilliant news

[cmonurz]

As above, the BBC should refuse to interview him. Top manager, but a reet arrogant twat.

[Mr Angry]

Or just ask him totally inane questions........oh hang about, the Beeb ALWAYS does that anyway.

Actually you're right he hasn't but i think it was building up

[No Fixed Abode]

McDermot would love to boycott the bbc IF he ever got interviewed.

Fergie is one of the most straight talking, honest and respected managers around. I really can't see how you could call him arrogant when you've got people like Mourinho & Wenger around. I would even say managers like McCLOLaren, Billy Davies, Martin Jol, Alex Mcleish are more arrogant than Sir Alex. Do you even know why he's refused to talk to the bbc for so long?! I suggest you look it up!

Just to give an idea of how much a top guy as well as a Manager he is let me tell you something he did and does.

Would an arrogant twat know the name of all his players in the youth team? probably not, but he does. Source (from ryan tunnicliffe and danny drinkwater)
Would an arrogant twat send a letter to David Bellion after he flopped at Man U saying not to worry about his time here and that he is still a fantastic player.
probably not. Source (David Bellion)
Do you remember that horror tackle by Shawcross? Guess who went round to see him the next day to offer advice. Sir Alex.

I just wish Brian Clough was born 20 years later

[Sarah Star]

Or just ask him totally inane questions........oh hang about, the Beeb ALWAYS does that anyway.

What do you call your remote?
