Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson charged over Howard Webb 'best man for the job' compliment


Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association for complimenting - rather than criticising - referee Howard Webb, in the build-up to last Sunday's Premier League title clash between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Are the FA bonkers?

"All Premier League managers were warned at the end of October pre-match discussion of referees would result in improper conduct charges being brought.
The FA's viewpoint is that any comment, positive or negative, prior to a game could be interpreted as an attempt to influence a match official."

That's what he gets for being a div!! The ABU lot are gonna love this!!

disgraceful waste of time. Who the hell is bothered if he gives a glowing report like this to one of his best players?

The Fa have always been bonkers... as are FIFa and all the other governing bodies... makes for a few extra clumn inches though
