Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged by the English FA under regulations that forbid managers from making comments on referees before games. Sir Alex apparently infringed the "respect campaign" rules. This Blog does not want to enter into the merits of this accusation !!!
However, when recently Sir Alex was banned from the touchline bench, the dug-out in fact, for five matches, he simply moved 10 yards into the stands with a land-line telephone which kept him in contact with the dug-out !!! Was this really a punishment, or a beating with a feather duster ?
This Blog congratulated Sir Alex because nothing prevented him legally from doing what he did !!! He was not a prisoner !!! It is the English FA which is at fault because they seem to lack the know-how to pass a judgement with a punishment which bites !!!
A real punishment would oblige Sir Alex or anyone else to report to a police station, or somewhere else, and also ban the "condemned criminal" from any football ground at the same time !!! Likewise the use of telephones and viewing television sets should be forbidden !!! The FA must seek and enforce respect !!!
The FA should realise that every football fan will be watching the outcome of the accusations which have been made against Sir Alex !!! If the FA do not know what to do, they should consult a legal expert !!!
