Sir Alex Ferguson 'Convinced' Mark Clattenburg is Innocent: The Daily EPL

Trust Sir Alex Ferguson to stir up some trouble and to put more pressure on Chelsea Football Club, the team that sits atop the Premier League table. Ferguson has come out today and said that he’s convinced that Mark Clattenburg is innocent — i.e. that Chelsea is lying. Who knows what may happen after this whole ugly incident blows over? Could Chelsea be penalized? If so, The FA may want to thank Fergue.

In addition to Ferguson, Arsene Wenger came out yesterday and slated Chelsea over the Mark Clattenburg controversy, piling more pressure on the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.
