Sick of referees being bought by ferguson. this has gone on for too long now. It happened all through the 90s and is still going on.
Ferguson criticizes referees that give decisions against his club. Most likely, these decisions happen in games Manchester United lose. The FA reacts to the criticism by not assigning said referees in future Manchester United games. Thus, the only referees assigned to United games are ones that Ferguson approves of
Last season, Manchester City romped to a 6-1 win at Old Trafford, inflicting on their rivals their biggest embarrassment under Ferguson. The referee on that day was Mark Clattenburg. He sent Johnny Evans off in the second half for a clear professional foul.
There have been 39 Man United league games since that day. The number of times times Clattenburg has refereed them? Zero. Not a single one -until today. he did today obviously under strict instructions. The referees that have given decisions Ferguson deem to be incorrect against United, no longer referee their games -see Alan Wiley.
Factor in the fact that Manchester Uniteds CEO is ON THE BOARD OF the English FA, Alex Ferguson is a knight of the realm with political connections that go a lot deeper than football (just read Allistair Campbell’s diaries )
Not a peep out of Murdochs Sky empire because of the connections
