Fergie blasts Hicks and Gillett

24 January 2008 - 13:27

Sir Alex Ferguson has blasted the American owners of Liverpool, Hicks and Gillett, for their treatment of Rafa Benitez and their lack of support for the manager.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • "At big clubs, it's absolutely paramount that the board show their class," he said.



    "Arsene Wenger has had great support at Arsenal and I've had great support, too, ever since I came here. So there's a certain type of unity there.



    "What happened with [Klinsmann] was a bad piece of business on Liverpool's part, there's no doubt about that.



    "That sort of thing can be very upsetting for a manager. You should allow a manager to get on with his job."
