Sports Letter: Ferguson's folly
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: With reference to 'Ferguson takes BBC team to task' (31 January), I was quite shocked to learn Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United Manager, went on the offensive, when the BBC criticised his top player, Eric Cantona. Although United are a great side, and Cantona a fine player, I had to agree with Jimmy Hill that the two tackles made by Cantona against Norwich should have seen him sent off.
The country is full of praise for Manchester United, but Ferguson should learn to take criticism when it is justified.
Yours faithfully
