"Im sorry Sir Alex that you cried and used your massive influence combined with your sissy players play acting got me sent off and suspended for 3 games". Does Shelvey lose pay for those games? I know in the States he would.

There's enough bad blood to go around as there is, I think. Ferguson is an absolute [oops], in my opinion, but I think Shelvey was right to apologise, as a mark of respect to someone who's done as much as Ferguson has in the game - like him or loathe him, he deserves a certain amount of respect.


I agree it made Shelvey look small in my view. Theres times when you need to keep your dignity plus I can't see FSG looking favourable on it they are very polically correct.

Whether you like Alex Ferguson or not, he's probably the most well established figure in English football and what he has done commands respect. In comparison, Shelvey is a nobody and there really should be no place for his behavior. So in answer to the question, yes he should have apologized and I'm glad he did, if nothing else it showed maturity.

Fergie does get respect and that's why Jonjo apologized to him.

My problem with Fergie is that just because he has done so much for the game and been an excellent manager people are too fvcking scared to criticize him when he does speak out of turn. Regardless of what he has achieved and given the game he needs to know that he's not perfect by any means and if he does the wrong thing then he should also be penalised. He has one set of rules for himself and his club and the opposite set of rules for everyone else!

No-one is bigger than the game and I'm afraid, IMO, Fergie seems to believe that he is!

Others (and Kenny was one) would be damned before they do anything contrite, especially if it is demanded or expected of them. To them it is worth the aggravation to stand their ground and not capitulate to public expectation.

To each his own... but I suspect this will reflect well on Shelvey.


I dont necessarily agree with him apologizing but very well put.

yeah but Fergie has the media in his pocket. We do not need to rattle his cage as he will destroy us. 3yrs and he will be gone.
