Chapter 1578: Fate Comes
I didn't see the Macmillan family bow their heads and apologize, I didn't see the FA come out to apologize, I didn't see Ferguson being dealt with by the FA, and I didn't get Ronaldo's contract.
YY started a new wave of pushes, and the editors of YY.com even started a news feature and began to describe the whole incident in more detail.
The British public, and even those around the world who follow the Premier League, are paying close attention to this matter, and even a large number of people in the UK have gathered at Manchester United and the FA headquarters to protest.
The Premier League is the pride of English fans, but they didn't expect that behind this pride there is such an unsightly dirt.
The media across Europe are paying attention, and with the exception of the BBC, which is now afraid to make overt reports, the rest of the media is almost exclusively criticizing the ugly inside story of the Premier League and the corruption of the FA.
The FA's reputation has fallen to its all-time limit.
The continuous criticism from the outside world made the senior officials of the FA start to be crazy and anxious, and they can't wait until tomorrow to announce their latest handling plan, because this night is too long, and I don't know what kind of height Li Mu will let this matter rise.
As Ferguson arrived at Old Trafford, the home fans who had been waiting at the bus entrance uncharacteristically held up protest signs and shouted "Ferguson, Shame-on-you!"
"Ferguson, shame on you!"
Ferguson has been wildly sought after by the entire Manchester United players and British fans over the years, and he is indeed a little fluttering in his heart, and the title of Jazz makes him feel a transcendent sense of superiority, after all, he is the only coach who can get KBE in the football circle.
However, today everything is reversed.
Fans and fans can make him feel detached, and naturally they can also make him feel humiliated as a man with his tail between his legs.
Now, Ferguson's expression in the bus is particularly ugly, and his heart is no longer angry, full of regret and panic.
After all, staying at that extreme height for too long, Ferguson suddenly had the feeling of being overturned to the ground, and Ferguson was extremely panicked.
To be honest, Ferguson's coaching level and understanding of football are definitely at the top level in the world, which is in terms of business ability, but people with strong business ability are also prone to make a mistake, that is, arrogance.
Feeling that he has strong business ability and high status in the industry, he began to play the industry bully, began to provoke the rules, play with the rules and even override the rules, so that he couldn't distinguish what should be done and what should not be done by geniuses.
Ferguson was thinking that if time went back, he would be willing to take Cristiano Ronaldo and send him to Manchester City with his own hands.
The team's bus finally slowly pulled into the stadium from the crowd, and when the bus finally stopped in front of the players' entrance, Ferguson was the first to step out of the bus and walk into the home players' lounge with a blank face.
Alex Ferguson became Manchester United manager in '86 and has been at Old Trafford for almost 20 years today.
The players followed Ferguson into the room, and everyone silently came to the familiar players' lounge, opening their own exclusive wardrobe and preparing to change clothes, while waiting to listen to the manager's squad and tactical arrangements today.
Ferguson, though in a state of turmoil, forced himself to compose himself, then pulled over the blackboard and began to lay out the tactical formation on the frame diagram of the football field above.
The only thing Ferguson is glad for is that tonight's opponent, Bolton, is only a bottom team in the Premier League, and Manchester United can basically win easily when facing such an opponent.
The assistant coach came over at this time and read out Ferguson's newly revised starting line-up, originally, he wanted Cristiano Ronaldo to start as a response to Manchester City, but now the talented player who replaced Beckham has been crossed out of the starting list by him, and he will not even be on the bench.
After the assistant coach read the starting line-up, Ferguson had already drawn the formation on the blackboard, and he said: "We don't have David Beckham tonight, we don't have Cristiano Ronaldo, so let's play a 4231, Scholes, your position is ...... the premise."
As he spoke, David Gill, the CEO of Manchester United, suddenly pushed the door in a panic.
"David?" Ferguson chuckled at the sight of David Gill.
Under normal circumstances, even if the CEO comes to watch the game, he is mainly in the box to accompany shareholders or important guests, and will not run to the locker room, not to mention that his expression at the moment is full of nervousness and helplessness, which does not look like a good thing.
David Gill looked at Ferguson sympathetically and pityingly, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, can I talk to you in private?"
Ferguson put down his marker, said sorry to the players and walked out.
At the door, David Gill faced Ferguson, who looked surprised, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
Do you just tell him: Jazz, we have received a penalty notice from the FA for overtime, and you have been banned for life to coach the English team?
Oh my God, David Gill can't imagine what a blow this would have been to Ferguson.
A man who has devoted his life to Manchester United now has to leave not only Manchester United, but even England to find his place, this punishment is too cruel.
However, as a CEO, David Gill is also well aware that the FA's decision to impose penalties is generally fine, and they have found the crux of the matter, which is: to punish others heavily and protect themselves.
In the face of an international hooligan like Li Mu, the FA could only beat the house slave to death with a stick to set an example to Li Mu, pointing to the body of the house slave and saying to Li Mu: You see, I really didn't discipline and have no way, and I really didn't protect the house slave.
Behind this, the FA has to be so sad, and David Gill can imagine that their decision means that they have fully chosen to give in to Li Mu, and no one is powerless to save Ferguson.
Ferguson looked at David Gill's hesitant expression, frowned and asked, "David, what's the matter?"
David Gill looked at Ferguson, hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Sizz, we just received a penalty notice from the FA......"
"Punishment?" Ferguson's heart tightened, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and asked: "How many games are they going to ban me? four games, eight games, or half a season?"
A half-season ban is already the biggest punishment in Ferguson's mind, and he is ready to not be on the pitch to direct the team's games for half a season.
Unexpectedly, at this time, David Gill sighed and said: "Sir Ir, the FA documents say that because you have provoked and trampled on the basic principles of fairness and justice in football, and have had a very bad impact on the reputation of English football, the FA has decided to ban you for life from coaching English teams and serving in the English football system." ”
"What?!" Ferguson almost fell to the ground without standing still, but it was David Gill who caught him quickly enough to save him from falling.
Ferguson seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden, and even his voice was trembling, and he said with grief and indignation: "They have gone too far! When has the FA ever punished a manager so severely?!"
David Gill nodded and said sympathetically, "They did go too far......"
At the same time, David Gill couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Ferguson, Ferguson, the English Football Team has never given such a severe punishment to any manager, but there are so many managers in the FA, no one has sinned against someone like Li Mu!"
Not to mention the richest man in the world, he is still the world's largest Internet platform tycoon, with a huge flow of global netizens, and his ability to deliver information more than any media in the world.
Ferguson panicked and hurriedly said, "No, I need to call Jimmy and ask what the hell is going on!"
"Jimmy?" David Gill raised an eyebrow, "Jimmy from the FA?"
Ferguson nodded and said: "That's right, he's at the heart of the FA, he must have a way to mediate it......"
David Gill sighed, full of unbearable words: "Sir, Jimmy Goodman has been removed, an hour ago, he should be doing the handover now, so I didn't have time to inform you." ”
"What?!" Ferguson was stunned: "Jimmy was removed? You're not kidding me, are you? He's the FA's No. 3 man, how do you say that he will be dismissed?"
David Gill said helplessly: "It can only be said that the impact of this incident is too great, and the FA is now under very strong public pressure." ”
Ferguson stayed in the training base all day, and he didn't have a clear understanding of how much trouble this incident caused in the outside world, as if he was hiding in a safe room and feeling the storm, only hearing the sound of wind and rain, only by being in it, did he know how terrible the power of this storm was.
Seeing that it was almost brewing, David Gill took a deep breath and said to Ferguson: "Sizz, I came here mainly to inform you of the result of the punishment that a club has just received and sent by the FA. ”
Ferguson looked at David Gill, his heart was already unconsciously getting more and more flustered, he seemed to have felt his fate coming, and he even suspected that he might not be able to resist at all.
At this time, David Gill said with a look of regret and apology: "Sizz, the FA's punishment for you is that you will not be allowed to coach in the English football team for life......"
"What do you say......"
The feeling of five thunders hitting the top is nothing more than this, and Ferguson's whole person was a little unable to stand up all of a sudden, and he held on to the door frame to stabilize his body slightly.
David Gill repeated: "The FA has asked you to be banned from coaching in English football for the rest of your life, effective date is today, unfortunately you can't play for Manchester United this year's game......
