FeriAtsThis is a bit old maybe, but wanted to have your opinons. Premier League decided that it will is now mandatory for manages to speak to rights holders after the game.

'Arry, Big Sam and SAF are a couple of names that refused to talk to BBC. All due to allegations made on Panaroma.

It would be hilarious if they went in front of the camera and talk abour totally irrelevant things as a form of protest.

nvrNah, Ferguson does not need to try to be canny. He'll just use the foul language as usual and BBC will not have the stomach to air it.

Robert O'CarlosNot sure about this but doesn't Ferguson talk to the BBC after cup matches already and is quite civil and chatty?

If managers want to stay within the rules, there's nothing to stop them just giving yes/no answers to the BBC reporters - I'm sure the Beeb would rather have Whelan back like a shot then.

FeriAtsI guess it depends on who owns the tournements. The cup is owned by FA and maybe FA mandates the managers should talk to broadcasters. Premeire League is on the other hand is governed by the Premiere League company.
