Graham Poll: The Official Line - Sir Alex Ferguson's verdict is a total sham
The punishment given to Sir Alex Ferguson is too weak, no deterrent against future comments... and just what I expected.[LNB]The FA have wilted so often in the face of celebrity, no one can be surprised that their hands were tied in this case.[LNB]This is not a cheap shot at Ferguson, but a heartfelt plea to the FA to sort out their wholly inadequate system for dealing with managers from someone who was routinely abused and regularly had his integrity questioned. [LNB] Let down: Wiley will be enormously disappointed by the FA's ruling[LNB]Look at the way Rafa Benitez tried to ridicule Phil Dowd by offering him his glasses as Liverpool lost at Spurs in their season opener.[LNB]Two months later the FA warned Benitez as to his future conduct, since on the same day they had let Neil Warnock off after he had done exactly the same at a Crystal Palace match.[LNB]All too often referees tell fourth officials to 'cock a deaf 'un' to the criticisms of the manager within the technical area. Why? Because match officials know that the governing body can take months to deal with such incidents and in the meantime they cannot officiate that team.[LNB] Fobbed off: The reprisals system needs complete overhaul to punich the likes of Benitez and Ferguson [LNB]So how does Alan Wiley feel this morning after reading that the man who questioned his professionalism will serve a two-match touchline ban, but will still be able to sit just behind the technical area and communicate with his coaching team throughout the 90 minutes?[LNB]He is not the first referee to have been let down by the FA and until they change their disciplinary procedures he certainly will not be the last.[LNB] Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hit with four-match ban for 'grossly improper' criticism of Alan WileyEXCLUSIVE: ProZone proves Fergie got it so wrong over 'unfit' ref Wiley Graham Poll: The official line - it is clear referee Alan Wiley is fit for the jobMANCHESTER UNITED FC
