Because of the many issues linked to the Manchester United Premier League club this season, Alex Ferguson has taken the initiative to remind his players to stay out of trouble. If anyone violates his rules on club discipline again, he warned them that he will not hesitate to sell any of the biggest stars he has in his team.
Although he kept his silence on the issues about his club players, he obviously has not been happy about it. After being on the headlines because of a Christmas party dilemma which eventually ended in rape claims, the coach has become impatient with his players’ behavior. They obviously need a little whipping. Until now, Ferguson has declined to comment on the party which led to player Jonny Evans being arrested.
It was reported that the United boss solicited a fine of one million pounds for those players involved in the party. The fine has been the biggest ever given by a Premier league club for breach of discipline. Ferguson has banned conducting any parties whatsoever to avoid unwanted incidents.
The team has been doing well in their previous games although United had their most terrible start of the season under Ferguson suffering a 1-0 defeat in opposition to city rivals Manchester City. However, United improved and triumphed in their next three Premier League matches. Man Utd were victims of a shock outcome when they were defeated ar 2-0 to Championship side Coventry City in the 3rd round of the League Cup in September 2007, subsequent to Ferguson’s fielding a worn-out side which nonetheless incorporated more than a few million pounds-worth of international players such as Wes Brown, Michael Carrick, John O’Shea, Anderson and Nani.
