Sir Alex Ferguson is a Great Manager, But Sets Bad Example With Ugly Tirades: The Daily EPL

The controversy and drama resulting from Mike Dean’s correct decision to award Newcastle United their second goal at Old Trafford from Boxing Day continues to roll on. In today’s press conferences in England, there’s been plenty of verbal attacks from Ferguson against Pardew, as well as Pardew and Wenger against Ferguson.

In an article by Henry Winter of The Telegraph, the well-respected writer says that Ferguson is a great manager, but he sets a bad example with his ugly tirades. I completely agree.
