Indeed, Mike Phelan, Ferguson's assistant who is sent out to deal with the BBC, another organisation that the United manager refuses to speak to

Taggart is furious about a BBC documentary from 2004, called Father and Son, which portrayed his agent son, Jason, as somebody who exploited his father's influence and position to his own ends in the transfer market. Ferguson jnr was never found guilty of any wrongdoing, and Sir Alex said he would never speak to the BBC again, a promise he has kept.
"I think the BBC is the kind of company that never apologise and they never will apologise," he said.
"They are arrogant beyond belief. I read Alastair Campbell's diaries recently and he's written a fantastic piece explaining the arrogance and their inability to apologise.
"They did a story about my son that was whole lot of nonsense. It all made-up stuff and 'brown paper bags' and all that kind of carry-on. It was a horrible attack on my son's honour and he should never have been accused of that.
"But it is such a huge organisation that they will never apologise. They don't even care if you sue them or whatever, because they are so huge and have insurance. They carry on regardless and it's breathtaking."

Thanks for the explanation I did wonder why he never commented after the match... Fair enough if SAF wont talk to the bbc then I wont either
