WILL FERGIE BE FEELING FINED AFTER FA REF RULING?

William Hill have opened a book on how much Sir Alex Ferguson will be fined for his comments about referee Alan Wiley’s (lack of) fitness, and offer 4/9 that it will be under £15,000; 9/4 from £15,000- £25,000; and 6/1 over £25,000.

Hills also offer 5/2 that Sir Alex will receive a touchline ban for his comments about Wiley’s fitness levels, but 2/7 that he will not. ‘We don’t think a touchline ban would serve much purpose in this instance, but even a hefty a fine will hardly leave him on the bread-line – however, the level of fine may at least indicate how scared the FA is of Sir Alex ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Heskey 5/6 5/6
Beckham 8/13 6/5
