I genuinely laughed out loud when I saw his recent moaning.

And yet, if anyone questions HIS motives or opinions, he gets up on his arrogant high horse...
IMO, He's probably the reason why a lot people dislike Utd....A truly horrible man.... |

Do I not recall Spurs announcing the signing of a certain 16 year old before his youth contract had expired...and then ripping off said club.... Some questionable dealings over Defoe, Lennon and some interesting dealings with Sevilla...... Spurs own hypocracy over transfer dealings is pretty shocking.

Fergie has since given them the hairdryer treatment and they've backed down, saying their reporter 'mis-heard'.
The dossier that has been sent to the FA apparently also includes details of Man utd contact with Aaron Lennon and Michael Dawson, or their agents, in the last 12-18 months.
So yes, there appears to be a case to answer.
However, this is common practice in football, and as other posters have said, Spurs themselves have been guilty of similar in the recent past, or so it would seem.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but the whole business of football transfers, agents, etc, stinks to the core. They're all as bad as eachother in a dog-eat-dog world.
At the end of the day, it's all a game of chess to try and extract maximum money from United...

Great manager, total hypocrite. I agree totally that football is rife with 'backstairs' dealing, but fergie is always the first, and the loudest to complain when it happens to him. He is also thoroughly unpleasant when caught out. Hence his bitchy comments directed at Spurs.
What galls people even more, is that more than ever it seems to be one rule for two clubs (a certain Spaniard has also been named and shamed) another for everyone else.
Witness the FA's craven cowardice when it came to Fergies comments after the Pompey FA cup match. It must be particularly galling to be 'Big Sam' or some other lesser lights managers (and ex managers) who regularly get the book thrown at them, to see Fergies outrageous comments drew no punishment at all................
