Fergie bans media from reporting crap he says!

The ongoing war between Sir Alex Ferguson and the media has taken another twist with the Man Utd manager once again banning all interviews and press conferences with the media.

The reason?

For reporting the Scotsman's post-match tirade against referee Martin Atkinson after United's defeat at Chelsea this week.Those damn journalists.

But it gets even better. It turns that the comments that landed Ferguson in hot water were made to none other than MUTV, which is the club's in-house TV Station! Maybe Fergie should have just banned MUTV.
After all, the editors at MUTV must know that airing such remarks would undoubtedly get their beloved manager in trouble. Talk about a major fubar.

All the same, one wonders why it hasn't occurred to Sir Alex to exercise some caution while talking to journalists. Surely someone who has been in the business as long as he has knows how to deal with the media without saying the wrong thing.

Nonetheless, this isn't the first time Sir Alex has gone to war with the media. Earlier this season, Fergie blamed the media for Rooney's slump and he's had an ongoing feud with the BBC for years. If you haven't realised yet, it's never Fergie's fault.

Of course if United beat Liverpool this Sunday I suppose we can expect Fergie to lift his self-imposed gag order with the media. I can't imagine him letting such an opportunity pass.
