RAFA BENITEZ HAS kicked off another war of words by claiming Alex Ferguson is still haranguing referees.
Manchester United’s manager has been asked to provide a written explanation to the Football Association about his public criticisms of assistant referee Simon Beck following the 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
Benitez infamously launched a calculated attack on Ferguson four years ago during his time in charge of Liverpool, suggesting the 71-year-old received preferential treatment from the FA — accusations which he believes still stand.
“I always try to concentrate on my job, but at that time with Ferguson I was defending my club,” Benítez told The Times. “I could see what was happening from my point of view, and maybe now a lot of people are seeing the same things. I will not talk too much about that because it’s obvious.
“It’s a question for the FA what they do about it. What I said at that time was what I thought, and what I’m seeing now is similar. It depends on the FA. I don’t know what they will do, it depends on them. At this moment in time I have enough things to do here, so I want to concentrate on my job.”
The Spaniard says he is focused on making sure Chelsea qualify for the Champions League, hoping that will be enough to land him the job on a permanent basis.
“A lot of doors can be opened, but the main one is this one here,” he said regarding his future. “I don’t want to enter this debate at the moment, as the priority for me is to do really well and to win trophies.”
Mayweather is a coward
Any man who hits a woman like he did is..
While they will both go down as 2 of the best pound for pounders, I think they’ll both also go down as the top two guys who devalued the sport of boxing as much as anybody else. I love boxing but if you look at the politics and corruption without boxing, it’s such an ugly sport.
If both men really wanted to prove their the best then they would have made this fight happen… Mayweather is the best of all time but not fighting Pac shows he wasn’t the bravest or most courageous fighter of all time and has selected a hard, talented but ultimately lower class fighter such as Maidana for his next fight… that’s where the true art of boxing has been lost over the last decade.
Once upon a time Pacquaio might have beaten Mayweather but that time had passed in afraid. Love him or hate him Mayweather is one of the best we’ve ever seen.
He continues to damage his credibility as a boxer and his fighting legacy with stupid throwaway comments like this.
If the challenging fighter isn’t a come forward brawler who walks into punches every round Mayweather has no interest in fighting them.
He will eventually give Pacquiao a shot so he can collect a massive payday, but only when Pacmans legs are completely gone, the same way he made Shane Moseley wait the best part of a decade until he was way, way past his prime and had the cheek to promote the farce as a “superfight”….
I’d love to see someone beat the shite out of Mayweather! …. Don’t think Pacquaio would be able too though..
Mayweather will never be beating. The greatest boxer of all time
Statistically
*beaten
I think what he is saying is pacman was using drugs when he had all the power. A little dig there
