Man U to pay Fergie’s 60K pound fine for not speaking to the Beeb
By ANIMonday, August 23, 2010
LONDON - Manchester United will pay 60,000-pounds in fines for manager Alex Ferguson as he carries on his ban of speaking to the BBC.
New Premier League rules say all bosses must talk to the Beeb after games or will be fined, with the scale of punishments increasing for repeat offenders.
The first fine is 1,000-pounds, but this rises each time with the cost hitting around 60,000-pounds for the full season, The Sun reports.
Fergie has not spoken to the BBC since a 2004 documentary about his son Jason’s work as an agent.
Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer said: “Alex is a man of his word and a man of principle. I don’t think he will speak to us again. ” (ANI)
