FA charges Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson with improper conducthttp://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/13/fa-charge-sir-alex-fergusonSir Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association for comments made about the referee Howard Webb in the buildup to the Premier League game with Chelsea at Old Trafford on 8 May.
Although the comments themselves were innocuous, including a statement that he believed Webb to be the "best man for the job", they contravened FA Rule E3.
Ferguson had said: "We are getting the best referee, there is no doubt about that. But (getting a bad decision) is definitely our big fear.
"We have the players to do it all right. We just hope it's our turn for a little bit of luck."
The problem for the Manchester United manager is that they were delivered on 6 May, two days prior to the game. That contravenes the rule which now states no manager should speak about a referee in advance of the match being played.
As the United manager has just served a five-match touchline ban following comments made about Martin Atkinson in the wake of his side's Premier League defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 1 March, there is some concern at Old Trafford about the likely punishment.
However, in this instance, it does appear unlikely a suspension will be imposed. Ferguson has until 4pm on 16 May to respond.
