Fergie Must Talk To BBC - WatchMUFC - 15-11-2009
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson must end his ban on BBC interviews next season.
The Sunday Telegraph says in the same week in which he was hit with the most severe punishment the Football Association has handed out for comments about a referee, Ferguson has suffered another blow to his authority as the Premier League passed a motion at its board meeting on Thursday to make post-match interviews with rights holders mandatory.
Ferguson has not spoken to the BBC since 2004 when Panorama ran a documentary which portrayed his son, Jason, an agent, as using his father’s status to gain influence in the transfer market.
He was never found guilty of any wrongdoing and Ferguson subsequently swore never to speak to the BBC again, describing them as “arrogant beyond belief”.
Harry Redknapp, of Tottenham, and Sam Allardyce, of Blackburn, who also boycotted the BBC for allegations made in a separate Panorama documentary, will also be forced to speak to Match of the Day and Radio Five Live.

I bet that SAF finds a way around that. They hung his son out and I understand why he would have a grievance against them. I'm not sure how they can make any of these speak to the BBC.
If they do, wait for simple, very short interviews, maybe not worth the time and effort.
A bit like Martin Johnston's interview - the end bit - after the rugby on Saturday!

That's ridiculous. Hope Fergie finds a way out of it, or just shows no interest in anything he's being interviewed about, then goes on to mock the interviewer and set Roy Keane (who's in a small cage in the background) free to maul everyone associated with the Beeb. Not seriously hurt anyone, just nibble them constantly like an itch you just can't reach. Yeah.

If u dont want to speak to anyone through point of principle u shouldnt have to. I cut people out of my life who stab me in the back or do wrong by me.
