Shut it!
Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafa Benitez have been handed a humiliating
ultimatum: Quit your war — now. The Manchester United and Liverpool
bosses were told their battle has put the game in the gutter. The
clash reached crisis point yesterday when League Managers’
Association chief Richard Bevan sensationally stepped in to try to
defuse the situation. Their war of words reached a head last Friday
when Fergie accused Benitez of being rude and arrogant for calling
Everton a small club and for a gesture he made during Liverpool’s
win over Blackburn. Yesterday Ferguson refused to back down and
said: “I made my point about it. I don’t understand why he did it.
I don’t want to go on about it any more. I made my point. There is
no point carrying it on. It’s plain for everybody to see now. I
have made my issue about it.” – Neil Custis, The Sun
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes if Benitez and Sir
Alex continue to tear strips off each other, then the real winners
could be Chelsea.
Sir Alex must try to lift Dimitar Berbatov after admitting the
striker was upset by his fluffed penalty. The Reds boss says
Berbatov was down in the dressing room at Wembley in the aftermath
of United’s shoot-out defeat to Everton.
The Daily Mail features quotes from Fabio and Rafael da Silva
who reveal that they turned down the chance to join Arsenal before
they made the switch to United.
Ultimatum is usually like: do this, or else.
I see the do this. i don't see the or else. Not an ultimatum
