Controversies and Criticism


Below are a few lists of controversies Fergie was involved in with referees and players:

Players
Throughout Fergie's 29 years as a manager in Manchester United, the luminary icon was involved in many controversies with his own players and referees. He was involved in an argument with a former Manchester United player, David Beckham where Furious Fergie alleged kicked a football boot in his face. This happened over the assumption of Beckham's favour on the opposing team.

boot struck his eyes.


Referees 


The above picture depicts how Fergie was punished by his transgressions. He was fined with a sum after his provoking insults towards the referees as he wasn't pleased with their executions on his players. The uncontrollable Fergie then 'stood-out' for his players and defended them. 


How could Fergie dealt with that situations differently?

It is evident that all managers will get out of control when they see no players were are at fault and the referee just flash out a card at them. Referees are there to control the game and to see that no rules were broken. They seek justice for the other team when the opposing team broke the rules. 

Ferguson must learn a way to curb his temper. What's done cannot be undone; whether or not a referee made a mistake, Ferguson must learn to accept reality. Sometimes the referee might make a mistake and might cause the other team a penalty kick. Times like these are crucial as a penalty kick are often an easy ticket to win a match.
