The Premier League have just agreed new rules that will require managers to speak to television rights holders (no doubt for extra cash) from next season (2010/11)
This, of course, means that Fergie will have to speak to the BBC in post-match interviews, as well as the written press, whom he has also boycotted for seven years, giving almost all of his screen time to the club's in-house MUTV channel
Now, knowing the famously stubborn soon-to-be-68-year-old do you think he will be going near the BBC? In 2007 he was pretty clear about never going back there
So, I ask - is this finally Fergie's final season? It's been on the cards for years, but will he, now surely at the end of his career, be forced back to the 'arrogant' BBC by the club for only a few years? Or will he bother with the sliding scale penalties, or will he just take his retirement?
I'd be doing the latter, not that I personally like being told who I have to talk to
So, money on Fergie retiring methinks
And yes this will also apply to Big Sam and 'Arry
Fergie forced to speak to BBC? Not on your life

This is quite a funny story, and has got me thinking to whether the BBC have already secured the MoTD rights or not yet.
I think Sir Alex will stick it out for 1 more Champions League win, and then he will retire on the night with no notice. That won't be this year with a lack of penetration from the United midfield and things not clicking with Berba.
the BBC have got the highlights rights until 2013
That will make for an extra interesting August then. Hehe
