Its not often I back Alex Ferguson, but...

His stance on not talking to the bunch of aresholes that masquerade as sports journalists should be admired in my opinion.

What kind of a moronic country do we live in, when football's governing bodies can fine someone for refusing to talk to the press.

He's a football manager ffs, not a spokesman.

You stick to your guns mate, and tell them to F Off!

What's odd here, is this concept of the press as a body of people totally opposed to him and you and I.
They are trying to present HIM to the public, thereby a conduit to allow him to speak to a mass audience, and that audience to hear answers to questions many of them might ask or want to get answers for.
By refusing to speak to them, he refuses to represent his thoughts to all.
