    Aye, would be nice if Murdoch got involved and stirred the pot, demanded Ferguscum talk to mutv and sky, being part owner of mutv he must have a say surely, or the people running it for him, well, his 30% anyway, although unless it has an effect on viewers long term i doubt he will, if they win the title they'll all be tuning in to mutv so Murdochs happy i guess.

    Sky though, that SHOULD be different, contracts have been signed as part of the Sky Prem coverage, people are paying subscriptions, could the public not get something going , as Fergie is contracted to talk after games...are'nt the viewers missing out on part of what they paid for when subscribing ?
    Don't clubs get extra TV revenue when they appear on Sky. I seem to remember in the past reading that everyone got an equal share of a 'basic pot' and then there was extra cash paid to the clubs involved in matches shown on sky (although I could be wrong). Could whoever controls this pot be it Sky, the Premier League, or the FA not with hold their fee for Sunday's game because of breach of contract?
    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      To be fair, the media I've been listening to and reading has been bashing them. Even 5 Live have turned on them yesterday, which considering the amount of Man U fans working there is nothing short of a miracle.

      There's also been some articles from broadsheet journalists slamming them. I'll try and dig them out and link to them.

        Fergie's broken his silence


        Ferguson condemns Anfield performance
        Thursday, 10 March 2011SHARE PRINTEMAILTEXT SIZE NORMALLARGEEXTRA LARGE
        Sir Alex Ferguson's anger at what he considered to have been a pitiful Manchester United performance against Liverpool last weekend was revealed yesterday in an interview he was annoyed to find had been published on an American website. The manager's comments, which are understood to have formed part of the match programme for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal, appeared briefly on the CBS website though were taken down.

        Ferguson has refused to speak publicly since his comments about referee Martin Atkinson after defeat at Chelsea on Tuesday last week, which leave the manager facing an Football Association commission on an improper conduct charge next week.

        "I have no excuses for the poor performance at Liverpool who were the better team and deserved their win," Ferguson said. "I was disappointed because we didn't perform to the level I expect and which to be fair we generally achieve."

        Despite Chelsea's win at Blackpool on Monday, Ferguson reiterated his view that Arsenal are the main title challengers. "Clearly they represent the main danger to us achieving our ambitions in a revival of the rivalry of a few years ago, and I am sure they regard us as the major threat to their hopes"

            Dont like his attitude and never did . I felt offended years ago when he made his claim re us , I thought at the time "how dare he utter the name of our Club in such a way ", he was not big enough a man then and still is not . I dont like him as a person . I was delighted when the two Irish horsey guys took him to task -hope that little venture into the tall grass cost him . **** HIM !!.

              That's about as gracious he's been to us as he's ever been.
              Oh I don't know.

                I thought that too when I read it.

                He's clearly lost the remainder of his marbles, or maybe he opened the sauce bottle a shade earlier than usual.

                    Don't think he could give a **** anymore about the FA's punishments. Damage has been done and this hardline approach is at least 15 years too late.

                      Perhaps, but it's an improvement on them letting him off as they normally do.

                            Already done. I did it ages ago.

                            Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                              Who would he appeal to? He's revolting.
