VIDEO: Fergie Has A Go At Journos – “You Humiliate People”

Well said Sir Alex. Getting the siege mentality back that’s served us so well in the past

Amen!Bless his mouth!

Finally i know why the manager hate the press conference. Those journalist know nothing about football and talk nonsense and like to go on the bandwagon if there is some.

well done Fergie!!
Football journalists are the lowest of the low. Pricks who think that their opinion matters more than the average fan. It doesn’t!!!!!

well thats how things are.. why do journalist have to make everything sounds controversial

Jessie: Think they were taking about Rio and his form. It came out the other day about Fergie dropping him but if you read the actual report, he says nothing of the kind.

Love the bit when they are talking about Rio needing 10 games to get his sharpness back and Fergie says “so why would I drop him”

journalism now-a-days has got much worse since 24 hour news shows. No matter what they do they will always be reporting old stories. So they have to blow up every little thing just to sell papers.

Against Liverpool, every player had an off day. But because Torres scored (his only shot of the game) whilst up against Rio, it’s because Rio’s not the same player. Regardless of the fact Rio and Vidic pretty kept them at bay for most of the game.

Football journos will be a bunch of unhappy offended bunnies tomorow. And the slating shall begin…

Of course Ferguson’s right on this – Bobby Robson’s treatment by such as McKenzie is only one example and that was in the late 1980s through to the World Cup of 1990.
Journos these days are worse, including the sports ones he confronts on this clip. Hiding behind the “people’s right to know” they think they can ask a direct question, be given a direct answer and then interpret it in any way they please.
And I hope the intent here is to close ranks. As another poster points out we like nothing better than our own unique siege mentality.

It’s true that most of the football journalism in England is very shoddily written and irresponsibly reported. There’s a rule in journalism that a journalist never reports another journalist’s work but in football, so often you see even the respectable papers like the Guardian taking unconfirmed–then later denied–quotes from other papers. It’s irresponsible. The headline writing for the Daily Mail is so shamelessly and irresponsibly biased as well. The red-top papers don’t hire writers, they hire hacks who probably never studied journalism and so don’t know the fundamentals of ethical reporting.
Great journalism exists (NY Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, the Times, BBC) but in football, where access to sources is difficult, where there is such fierce competition to break the news first, where there is little real controversy, fact-checking doesn’t exist anymore. It’s unfortunate because that appears to be the only way to sell papers.

What will happen when the number one manager finally retires ?
i dont want to think about it, the media will miss having him there, especially the english media. because he is one off. No-one will repeat the kind of success he has. Othe teams will win titles .no doubt. But will be nothing like the 20+ years Fergie has been here

Go on Fergie you tell the cunts. He is rightly sick of the shit they have been writing this last few weeks. Just yesterday there were two stories about him speaking out about the Ingerlund friendly coming up. Two respected papers used the terms “fergie goes NUTS” and “Fergie BLASTS the FA” about what he said about the friendlies. When you read the article it is clear he didn’t go NUTS at all.
