Arsene Wenger & Rafa Benitez both sometines say the most ridiculous things to defend their teams lack of discipline, but Ferguson takes it to a new level.
The only other manager, who has managed in PL, who can be compared to Ferguson is Mouriniho. His lies about a referee (going into Barca dressing room at H/T) in a match against Barcelona, led to the ref receiving death threats, his home address being published on a Chelsea fans forum and referee subsequently giving up refereeing.
Is this is the extent to which football has descended?
The game is on the precipice, or a couple of levels down, of the equivalent of Dante's Inferno
