The tactician claims that he was far from happy after the centre-back refused to wear a shirt showing the F.A’s efforts to tackle racism in the game.
Rio Ferdinand’s brother, Anton, has been embroiled in a huge controversy with former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 star racially abused him at Loftus Road.
The incident paved the way for a court hearing, ruled in favour of Terry, but later the Football Association decided to take matters into their own hands and punished the defender by handing him a large fine and a ban as well.
However, the punishment seems lenient considering how the governing body has acted on other matters and their decision to make everyone wear shirts before a Premier League game has not gone down well with Rio.
The ex-Leeds United man remains unconvinced by the Association’s handling of the situation and was himself slapped with a fine after calling http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 a ‘choc-ice’ on social networking site; Twitter.
And yesterday at the Old Trafford clash between Manchester United and Stoke City, the 33-year-old did not sport an anti-racism shirt, while the rest of the Red Devils’ squad did, hence incurring Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s wrath.
The Scot recently criticized Reading striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jason-Roberts-c17973 for the same thing and claims that he could stern action against Ferdinand for his antics.
"At the press conference yesterday I spoke to the press about it. It is embarrassing for me. He will be dealt with, no doubt about that," "At the press conference yesterday I spoke to the press about it. It is embarrassing for me. He will be dealt with,
no doubt about that,” he said.
He also added that the main reason for the gesture was to support the PFA’s stance on racism and Rio’s decision could add to the already alarming situation racism has created in the last few months.
"I'm disappointed. We did that in support of the PFA (Professional Footballers' Association) and every player in the country should have adhered to that. We're all wearing the badges and he goes and lets us all down. We'll deal with it, don't worry,” Ferguson
was quoted as saying to the media.
