Sir Alex Ferguson's fury

Michael Crick | 11:27 UK time, Tuesday, 26 October 2010

I see that the Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says of football agents: "the modern trend with agents is that they are never criticised by journalists because that is their feeding foundation... It is where they get all their stories and complete knowledge of what is happening with a lot of players."

Strange that. Six years ago my colleague and friend Alex Millar made a documentary for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ called 'Fergie and Son'. It was about the relationship between Sir Alex and his son Jason, who was then a football agent.

Sir Alex was furious with the programme and its revelations. So angry, in fact, that he has boycotted the ´óÏó´«Ã½ ever since.
