Is Sir Alex Ferguson good for football? Nicky Campbell takes your calls one of the game's most controversial figures.

On Wednesday he was given a five-match touchline ban for his deeply critical remarks about referee Martin Atkinson, and the question of whether he's a positive influence upon football has divided 5 live listeners.

Mark in Castleford says the issue with Ferguson is his "total lack of grace" in victory or defeat. But Linda asks "how dare these people" criticise Sir Alex; he is "without doubt the greatest manager ever".

Nicky speaks to Frank in Liverpool whose sister received a personal letter from Sir Alex on the death of his nephew. But former Premier League referee Jeff Winter tells us that despite his unbelievable record, "the will to win is taken over by abysmal bad sportsmanship.".
