Sir Alex banned for ref comments
Manchester United manager Sir Alex
Ferguson has been punished by football
bosses for saying a referee wasn't fit
enough to be in charge of a match.
Sir Alex said referee Alan Wiley wasn't
fit enough after United drew a game
against Sunderland on 3 October.
Now he's been fined £20,000 and will be
banned from standing near the pitch for
United's next two matches.
And if Sir Alex says anything similar
in the next two seasons he could be
banned for another two matches.
