Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, have both condemned Chelsea’s behaviour over the Mark Clattenburg race row. The FA and the Metropolitan Police are currently investigating allegations that the referee, used ‘inappropriate language’ on Blues midfielder, John Mikel Obi.
” I don’t believe Mark Clattenburg would make any comment like that,’ Ferguson said. “I think it’s unthinkable. It’s unthinkable in the modern climate. I just don’t believe it.
“There’s no way a referee would stoop that low. I’m convinced of that.
“If you look at the modern game compared to 25 years ago it’s completely changed. I know the banter between players and referees 25 years ago is completely different.
“This is where I stand on this issue with Mark Clattenburg. I just don’t believe it.”
Wenger is also of the opinion that the Stamford Bridge club, did not handle the case properly.
“I didn’t follow the whole (Chelsea) story completely (but) my opinion is just when I didn’t behave well I have an explanation with the referee at the end of the game or another day, rather than going public with little proof. I’m not in favour of making these things public,” he said.
