“I got a letter from the Premier League telling me not to discuss the England manager’s job. Can you believe that?” said the Manchester United boss.
“I have absolutely no idea why but I am not allowed to discuss the England manager’s job, so I’m out of the running.”
The Premier League later confirmed that, at Tottenham’s request, they’d written to the managers of the other Premier League clubs ordering them not to talk about a manager already under contract to another side in relation to the vacant England position.
Such comments, claim Spurs, contravene Premier League guidelines, but quite clearly spell out who the next manager will be without the need for Fergie's help.
