Manchester United Boss Sir Alex Ferguson To Write Letter Of Apology To FA - Report
Red Devils' boss in last-ditch attempt to avoid serious sanctions...
Ferguson angrily asserted that the official wasn't physically fit enough to make correct decisions in the wake of his team's 2-2 home draw with Sunderland.
The remarks have angered many within the game, particularly referees' union Prospect, who yesterday insisted that Ferguson's previous 'apology' was "half-hearted" and actually exacerbated the situation.
They also called for stiff penalties for Ferguson, perhaps along the lines of a UEFA coaching ban.
Ferguson will write to the FA this week, according to The Manchester Evening News, when he returns from holiday in America, and make a final appeal to avoid punishment.
