Just watching MOTD tonight and I've noticed that Alex Ferguson never gives pre/post match interviews with the BBC but he'll talk on ITV and SkySports? Why is this?
I'm not sure of details but I know he has said he will never speak to the BBC again. Maybe a quick google will come up with the answer?
ahhb found this on another site <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After walking out of a press conference after 74 seconds, Ferguson is in danger of burning his bridges with the national press. His arrogant behaviour towards the press goes back a long way, especially in his refusal to talk to BBC Sports reporters after BBC 3 screened a documentary highlighting his son Jason’s dodgy deals in securing players for the club (BBC’s Fergie And Son press release). I’m sure it is an attempt to generate some kind of ‘they all hate us’ siege mentality within the club, but the press’s knives will be sharpened ready for any future failures like the Champions League disaster. I’ve never understood why the media has always treated him like some kind of football royalty, and in many interviews the reporter almost sounds scared. I’m sure Ferguson’s endangered this respect. </div>
Because of the BBC and their piss poor documentaries, The BBC are a disgrace, their football coverage and analysis is terrible and the way they treat/talk about players and managers is unprofessional.
And why was it a piss poor documentary? For telling the truth? Its a well known FACT that Ferguson Snr wanted all the youth team players to sign for his sons agency. Ferguson was taking a bung, he wanted his son to be involved with all transfers in and out of United. Numerous signings involving his son are still being investigated, they include Saha ,Kleberson and Ronaldo. Ronaldo had been touted all over Europe by his agent and virtually signed for Liverpool, everything was agreed for £5 mil yes thats right £5mil and at the 11th hour United came in and paid around £12mil. Go on guess who was the agent for United and took a MASSIVE cut out of the deal. Just remember he was touted around Europe for £5mil so why pay so much extra? As they say in the States You do the math! This was all exposed in a BBC documentary of which Ferguson went to court to try and stop. If there was no truth in the matter why didn't you see him suing them. Mmmmm I wonder!!!!!!!
Sorry to burst your bubble but Houllier declined to sign Ronaldo because he was too young and he needed time to develop his skills. When United played Lisbon in a friendly, Ferguson noticed Ronaldo and he decided to go for him. So your facts are incorrect.
Sorry to burst your bubble but next time you get a chance just have a look at Phil Thompsons autobiography (Sit down pinocchio)and check the FACTS. Ferguson is that corrupt he'd embarrass Italian football
Nah I dont go by scouser views, they are 99.9% full of shit half the time. And what I said was the truth so unlucky.
The BBC's documentaries cause more trouble for the BBC than they do for the intended "targets". Look at the one about the bungs recently that involved Bolton, Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea. Nothing at all came from that because there was no hard evidence and there never has been in any of these sensationalistic expose bullshit on the football world. bringiton: Houllier came out and said that's why they didn't want Ronaldo. And how can you twist Manchester United paying twice what Liverpool were willing to pay as being corrupt?
<div class="quote_poster">Flight643 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">or maybe you just need something to moan about.</div> He's a scouser. It's what they do best until they get their own way after people have lost the will to live and just give in.
<div class="quote_poster">Flight643 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">You just cant accept that you lost out on Ronaldo.. or maybe you just need something to moan about.</div> He wasnt moaning? Stop trying to win an argument that has already been lost.
Now you're just being silly. Ok Ronaldo's a great player but i wouldn't just make things up like that out of jealousy. The fact is i have read facts and you're extremely bitter because it puts Ferguson in a bad light.
How am I trying to win an argument? Hes a moan, im putting my point across if thats ok with you lot, it is a forum remember. Not happy about it, dont get involved then. The fact is, houllier backed out of a the deal because he thought Ronaldo was too young.

I know he's an petty, moody, arrogant arsehole but that's not stopped people loving Mourinho. There seems to be the truth according to Merseyside then there's the truth according to the rest of the world. I know which one I believe, United fan or not.
IF it isn't the truth why did Ferguson and his son not sue? Why is his son not allowed near the training ground and how come he isn't an agent anymore? Mmmmmmmm thats a tough one!
Houllier dropped out fair and square, I dont care what big nose phil thompson put down on his biography because we got Ronaldo fair and square.
Like i said don't let a little matter like the truth get in the way. Why would a club pay so much for a player who was being touted around Europe for £5mil. The answer is so clear. Every club does a bit of shady dealing with agents its part of the game which will never be sorted, but some get caught and they don't like it. Dummies get spat out and thay won't talk to certain sections of the press.It is well known that Ferguson virtually picks which members of the press he will speak to as do most managers but he takes it that 1 step further. Some of his press conferences have been nothing short of childish because some reporters DARE to disagree with him.Its laughable. Sam Alladyce is the same. Can you see any comparison there. It just so happens BOTH had sons who was agents. Think about it and stop letting biasness cloud your judgement.
