Moyes blasts 'Stupid' Ferguson

Last updated : 02 April 2002 By Austin Rathe
"Duncan deserved to be sent off, no question. He was stupid and I told him so.

"I told him he could have let his team-mates down and he certainly let himself down. He admitted he was way out of order and that it wouldn't happen again.

"But Duncan has led by example in the games since I made him captain and he's played a big part in us getting the points that we've needed."

Ferguson will now miss most of our last games, and if Moyes has any sense he will strip Ferguson of the Captaincy, not permanently, but just for the rest of the season. The Captaincy should be earned, not granted, and Duncan owes it to the fans and the club to stop being such a prat and play the football we all know he is capable off.
