A richly deserved reward for many years of believing himself to be bigger than the club and the game.
On a separate, but equally arrogant Fergism, isn't it about time he was fined for his refusual to talk to the BBC and his cherrypicking of broadcasters/journo's depending upon his whim ?

BBC Sport - Football - Sir Alex Ferguson handed five-match ban for outburst
very amusing and long overdue
A Football Association tribunal has given Sir Alex Ferguson a five-match touchline ban for his comments about referee Martin Atkinson.
The Manchester United manager was found guilty of improper conduct for criticising Atkinson's display in the loss at Chelsea earlier this month.
"You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that," Ferguson told MUTV.
The ban starts on 22 March and includes the FA Cup tie against Manchester City.
The Independent Regulatory Commission's sanction is made up of a three-game ban for the Atkinson remarks and the activation of a two-game suspended ban that Ferguson was given last year for suggesting referee Alan Wiley was not "fit enough" to keep up with play.
The three-man panel also fined the 69-year-old manager £30,000.
The reasons for the decision will be sent to Ferguson in the next 24 hours and he then has 48 hours to decide if he wants to appeal. This is why the sanction does not start until after Saturday's home league game against Bolton Wanderers.
Should he accept the punishment, the Old Trafford boss will have to watch the Premier League games against West Ham, Fulham, Everton and Arsenal from the stands, as well as the semi-final against local rivals City at Wembley.

That rule is a joke, you cant say anything about the referee's performance or you get banned/fined. Im not defending him because he knows the rules and broke it, but the rules need to be changed.

...and yet Arsene Wenger following decisions not to award a goal or penalty for Arsenal v Sunderland stated he was 'disgusted' with the referee, and yet no charge...

I think what Ferguson said about being fair is pushing it but about being strong enough shouldnt be a bannable offence.

Bang to rights, he had it coming.
I hope he appeals, loses, and has the ban extended.

I am quite a fan of his anger at MUTV for not editing out his egotistically sneering commentary and getting him in trouble in the first place. "Why didn't you make me seem less of a c*nt than i am?!?!"
When is Wenger going to get his?
And Wilshire for his twitter.
Im not pro Man Utd but this seems a tad unfair given what Wenger has gone about saying recently.

Being serious here, I have Seagulls Player. Poyet slags off the ref in his post match interviews probably on average once every three games, sometimes even more regularly.
How does he get away with it?!
