Ferguson, the FA and his 'man on the inside'

Fergie's FA inside man

 

Sir Alex Ferguson - who has been asked for an explanation by the FA following his rant about assistant referee Simon Beck after United's 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Sunday - has the advantage of Old Trafford club secretary John Alexander being an independent member of the FA disciplinary panel.

 

Alexander may not sit on any cases involving the Premier League but his insider knowledge of FA cases gives him a head start in the initial correspondence defending Fergie for claiming Beck had a 'shocking game' and suggesting he had a 'history' of making decisions costly to United.

 

The FA say they are happy to have Alexander on the panel - as they were when he was previously at Spurs - and do not regard this as a conflict of interests, although the 57-year-old executive is the only official from a Premier League club on the judicial roster.
