FOOTBALL: Alex Ferguson In The Firing Line Again

Alex Ferguson has ignored the FA in regards to their most recent charge on him, this time for praising referee Howard Webb. Ferguson said "We are getting the best referee no doubt about that. But (getting a bad decision) is definitely our big fear.". The FA had sent him a notice that he was being charged but Sir Alex ignored the written warning stating that managers must not discuss officals before a match. The club itself has now written to the FA and a hearing will now commence without Ferguson present. Sir Alex has recently returned to the touchline after a 5 match ban after discussing the appointment of referee Martin Atkinson following a 2 - 1 defeat to Chelsea. The Manchester United boss believes that the Football Association determined to make and example of him.
