The arrogance and petty behaviour of the man is astounding - this is going to pull him back into line

Sir Alex Ferguson will have to end his six-year ban on giving interviews to BBC reporters under newly agreed rules coming into force next season.

A motion was passed at a Premier League board meeting last week which made post-match interviews with all media rights holders mandatory for league managers, reports The Daily Telegraph.

Manchester United supremo Ferguson has not spoken to the BBC since 2004 when his son Jason, a football agent, was the subject of a Panorama documentary alleging that he used his father’s status to exert influence on the transfer market.

You don't hear anything about Ferguson Junior - last reports were his Dad had got him a Hot Dog Stand at Sold Trafford
dedworth you should get your facts right instead off this hatred for all things man utd
th fa wanted man utd to play in the competition.

"The Football Association has taken the unprecedented step to allow United to take part in the World Team Championship - a new competition involving the best club sides from each of the six continents.

FA officials say they want to give United every chance of succeeding in the tournament, which takes place next January - just at the time when Premier League clubs will be joining the third round of the FA Cup.

Sports minister Tony Banks has given his full backing to the FA.

He believes if United do not take part in the championships it could do "irreparable damage" to England's bid to host the 2006 World Cup.

But some United supporters are furious. They claim their club is being used as a pawn in the FA's on-going campaign to win over support from the international footballing community. "

so there you have it,hate man utd if you must but at least get your facts right
