    Roberto Martínez: Alex Ferguson is a c**t Empty Roberto Martínez: Alex Ferguson is a c**t

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/wigan/6448946/Wigan-manager-Roberto-Martinez-hits-out-at-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-loyalists-and-FA.html

    Wigan manager Roberto Martínez has launched an astonishing attack on Sir Alex Ferguson and the "group of loyalist" managers, including Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce, who, he says, team up against Rafael Benítez.

    Martínez, linked with the position of Ferguson's No 2 following the departure of Carlos Quieroz, has also criticised the Football Association, saying they have handled Ferguson with kid gloves over the Alan Wiley affair, when the Manchester United manager said the referee was "unfit" after their 2-2 draw with Sunderland at Old Trafford.
    "At the moment, they have charged him for saying the referee was not good enough in terms of his fitness," Martínez said speaking in Spanish newspaper AS on Sunday, "but the reality is that they have almost begged his forgiveness for fining him. They would have hammered anyone else. He has a lot of control in this country."

    Martínez, who succeeded Bruce at the DW Stadium this summer after the latter's defection for Sunderland, also aimed a broadside at his predecessor for his loyalty to his former manager.
    Bruce is part of a coterie of coaches Ferguson has helped groom and, Martínez feels, occasionally unleashes on Liverpool manager Benítez, the Scot's latest bête noire.
    "He has his group of loyalists among other coaches – Steve Bruce, a former player of his, and Sam Allardyce, who thinks he will be his successor at Old Trafford, among others. On the other hand, there is only Benítez and they get at him from all sides."
    Ferguson will have a chance to explain his views on the fitness of Premier League referees at a personal hearing after admitting an FA charge of improper conduct for comments made about Wiley on Oct 3.
    Ferguson, charged by the FA on Oct 19, had been expected to plead guilty to the charge after issuing a public apology for his comments earlier this month. He faxed his guilty plea, with a request for a personal hearing at a later date, to the FA on Monday morning, receiving an acceptance of his response from the FA's disciplinary unit.
    However, the Scot is understood to be unhappy at his plea being made public, with the FA assuring his advisers that they would not be publicising the development prior to the Nov 3 deadline set for Ferguson to answer the charge.
    While apologising to Wiley for any personal embarrassment caused by his comments, Ferguson said: "My only intention in speaking publicly was to highlight what I believe to be a serious and important issue in the game, namely that the fitness levels of referees must match the ever-increasing demands of the game."
    Having chosen to accept the FA charge, Ferguson is now facing punishment in the form of a fine and possibly a touchline ban. The 67 year-old, who is being advised by Graham Bean, the former FA compliance officer, will aim to reduce the severity of any sanction by explaining his observations, and the motivation behind them, once a date for a hearing is set.
    The Ferguson camp believe they can avoid a touchline ban on the grounds that no manager has previously been issued with such a ban as a result of post-match comments.
    In the past, touchline bans have only be applied as punishment for behaviour in the dugout or on the touchline. By apologising for his comments, Ferguson also hopes that the FA will look favourably on his contrition.

    He's issued a statement denying that he made these claims...looks like the FA aren't the only ones trying to stay on Ferguson's good side Rolling Eyes

    Anyway, even if he did make them, I wouldn't be surprised if he exaggerated it slightly, and then AS added their own spice.

    When you hear him talk in interviews he doesn't seem the type for that kinda thing so i was surprised. Makes sense if a paper has spun his words.

    So Steve Bruce stands up for his old Man Utd team mate. Yet Martinez is standing up for his fellow compatriot lol!.

    Ferguson is a c**t, yes...but Benitez has had his fair share of dishonesty and whingeing too.

    The FA treated Fergie with kid gloves... by leaking details about Wiley's fitness to prove him wrong and humiliate him?

    The FA 'never' punishes Fergie, yet have disciplined in each of the last 3 seasons for comments about/behaviour towards match officials?



    Never let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory...

    I'm not suprised after Vidic's assault on Rodallega went unpunished.
