0% Villa - Ferguson ignores media (and will doubtless get away with it)

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm surprised he's at loggerheads with the BBC over that documentary, at all other times they've licked his arse.

A few years ago, Rob Bonnet, the BBC Breakfast sports reporter at the time, said

'You know you've made it as a sports journalist when Alex Ferguson gives you the hairdryer treatment, and i'm proud to say I had mine off him in 1992.'

[Pete3206]

He not done too badly over the years though has he? He may be a bully, a bastard and an utter cnut, but he knows how to win when the chips are down. 

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Maybe hes just a bit shy.

[nadz3488]

Does this affect anyone in any way? I don't give a flying fishcake. I'm so sick of hearing about the Mancs in the media.

[Hopadop]

I can't stand him but I'll really miss him when he's gone.

[The Man With A Stick]

I can't stand him but I'll really miss him when he's gone.

Speak for yourself.  Can't wait for the beetroot-faced, pissed-up old shite to retire.

[damon loves JT]

Wouldn't fancy being his successor

Just think, when he took over Man Utd they had fewer honours than us. 

I think I'll use that vomit emoticon too.

I would, six matches followed by the sack and you'd probably never need to work again...

If I worked at the BBC I'd have employed a Fergie impersonator to give made-up interviews to MoTD by now.

I can just imagine Lineker saying, "And now over to Fake Fergie to give us his thoughts on United's latest result, on the day that real Fergie's hissy fit reached eight years, two months and four days."

[TopDeck113]

I wish the BBC would put a ban on any mention of Ferguson to be honest.

I'd go one better and refuse to show/mention Man United.  Blanket ban on all their games, including highlights.  The Glazers would soon have a word with him.  Sky/BBC/ESPN wouldn't have the bottle though.

I've said this before, but I reckon if the BBC simply said we're not interviewing the monkey that Fergie sends to stand in front of those logo-covered boards, the sponsors would soon apply the pressure and get the organ-grinder to retract his boycott.

SAF does what he thinks is best for his club. You can not fault that. I wish we had a bloke who did the same.

It's best for the club that he refuses to speak to the BBC because of a program several years ago that showed his son in a bad light?

[Bad English]

The day Ferguson's team doesn't finish in the top three / win the league / get to the quarters/semis/finals of the CL / and generally win trophies like we win the best programme/nice pitch award is the day we all stop giving a fuck whether the ****** speaks to the press or not.

[DeKuip]

All the press have to do is take an SAF impersonator around to games with them and let him do all the TV interviews and press conferences for him, a kind of Anti-Fergie who comes out with everything he would never say: "The ref was right", "the opposition deserved to win", "we played far too much stoppage time v SWed in 93" etc.
You can guarantee the real Fergie would soon make himself available.
