		<description>As long as Ferguson doesn't put his foot in it and come out with racist comments then it really doesn't matter what he says about the press.  The truth of the matter is that Manchester United's results do the talking.  The more matches they win, the more shirts they sell and the more appealing they are to sponsors.

United will have no trouble finding a sponsor because of their fan base, companies like o2 won't be able to waltz in and get a great deal because there is competition out there.  What will knock down the price is their poor performance on the pitch.</description>

		<description>Yeah but aren't they selling papers that are criticizing Man Utd and their manager which again is bad for an organisation trying to find a new sponsor. And I dunno if you heard the rumour but O2 apparently are looking at it since their contract with Arsenal is up soon. Surely that'd been seen as a swift PR move by O2 to get one over their network rivals?? </description>

		<description>Hmmm that's what Max Clifford says anyway.  Ferguson hasn't burnt his bridges at all, the press need him a lot more than he needs them.  He's always had a turbulent relationship and now they're selling papers off the back of it.  If they start winning again, watch how things change.</description>

		<description>Hi Piaras, just on that Google &#38; Man Utd theme, what do you make of Alex Ferguson's comments about the press. Has he really burnt his bridges with the british media? Surely he has a PR person who should of warned him. With the whole Keane &#38; MUTV incident aswell, shouldn't David Gill be conducting seminars for all his players on the topic of PR. since obviously the ones they hired are crap! It's only making Utd's job of getting a good sponsorship deal harder and at the end of the day, any shortfall in income will inevitably come out of the fan's coffers. Thank god i'm a Leeds fan. (Or should I?) </description>
