Shady doings

The Guardian have this piece about how the investigation into Sir Alex Fergusons private life has been conducted. If Magnier is as famously private as is usually claimed he's not going to enjoy a minute of the publicity he's getting over this. I mean Ferguson must know that half the country dislikes him, but he can rest assured that he's still got their respect, not to mention the adoration of 20% of the nation.

Magnier on the other hand is probably finding himself lacking privacy or respect right now, the ironic result of his attempts to undermine Fergusons'. He's probably right to allege that football clubs could be run more transparently, but this isn't the right way to do things.
