Ferguson not appealing

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has decided not to appeal against his 5 match touchline ban. Ferguson was given a five match bad after his comments to referee Martin Atkinson in Man U's 2-1 defeat against Chelsea. In a post match conversation with journalists Ferguson said he "feared the worst" when he discovered who was reffing the game. The 5 game ban will include Man U's local derby in the FA cup semi final against Manchester City. Ferguson was also fined £30 000 and when he spoke on Friday he said "Its disappointing. Its the only industry you can't tell the truth in."
