Fergy Boycotts the Press

Sir Alex Ferguson is widely reported to have ceased relations with the press. With BBC long since banished from his acquaintance, I reckon that only Sky and ITV remain his outlets for comment and vitriol. Heaven forbid should World in Action returns or Sky post match interviews actually demand a more challenging line of questioning.

It seems unfortunate that the most successful manager in English football cannot reconcile himself with so much of the media. With the FA, the refereeing Authorities and the media against him and his team, it is some testament to his powers that he and they have won so much. Oh yeah those special powers and Rob Styles.

Rob has cropped up on this blog before. In a climate where football people are calling for consistency, Styles has been the very picture of consistency with penalties given for a variety of similar offences. He just needs to give Arsenal a soft penalty soon to get his Big 4 card marked and he will have a complete set of grateful top 4 managers.
