Sir Alex Ferguson – and Manchester United football board – told to stay away from home dressing room at Old Trafford
Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United football board have been asked not to enter the dressing room at Old Trafford – breaking a tradition that stretches back to the days of Sir Matt Busby.
Earlier on Tuesday it emerged that Ferguson had seen his multi-million pound ambassadorial role stripped by the club’s new part owner INEOS, as part of a wide-ranging cost-cutting programme.
And Mail Sport can reveal that in a further, controversial move Ferguson – the most successful manager in the club’s history – will no longer enter the inner sanctum following matches as part of a change in policy.
United deny that they have directly banned Ferguson from the changing room but say there is now a ‘collective understanding’ over who goes inside.

Who’s releasing all this information?

This feels unnecessary, hes the goat manager, anything he says is valuable and you listen to his perspective.
Edit: I can’t believe this is being downvoted, he’s an absolute club legend, this sub reddit sucks lately.

It clearly says the entire board along with Fergie are not allowed but I guaranfuckingtee everyone is going to ignore the part about the board.

People mad that INEOS are running us like an actual business were the same people mad we had Woodward doing whatever he wanted 3 years ago.

This is genius reverse psychology from ineos. “No sir Alex you’re not allowed in the dressing room, please don’t go in there and take over the team and lead us to another premier league title. Don’t do it!”

It’s a changing room. You don’t need Ferguson rocking up up behind when you’ve got your knob out. Should have happened ages ago.

I’m surprised all these years that it was a common practice.

So asking him to stay away from the dressing room is fine. But releasing it to press is like making a statement, which is in very poor taste.

Fergie deserves to have access to the dressing room. Ineos are quickly turning us into a business rather than a football club with culture and tradition.

Ineos trying to separate legacy and the present. This is all about expectation management
Roasteddude on
Does it sound somewhat disrespectful to sir Alex? Maybe. Do board members in general have absolutely no reason to be in the dressing room? I think so. So I dunno, figure it out..

Such disrespect to Ferguson

Good. I’ve always thought the whole _Fergue going to the dressing room_ would be a hindrance for any coach, given the stature of Fergie.

That headline after clicking the article is embarrassing, I guess they were desperate for something during the international break.

Anyone can shed some light how this will positively affect the players?

I feel like INEOS have released this information as a way to put the attention on ETH after the negative backlash to sacking Sir Alex.

Typical international break news cycle. All this negative attention would go away if the team just had it in them to stitch about 2-3 wins together.

How does this help improve results on the pitch?

SAF doesnt really want to visit, if anything this is like trying to goad him to want it 😂😂
