Alex Ferguson Unhappy with Manchester United Fixture

(This entry was originally published on Saturday, January 3rd, 2009)

In professional football, you can never complain about fixture calendar. You know that you are expected to compete in many different tournaments. These tournaments do not only take place in home countries, but also in other countries too. So, let us think of Manchester United playing in the last few weeks and coming few weeks. Manchester United is playing in English premier league, FA Cup, Carling Cup in England and they are also playing in UEFA Champions League in Europe. A few weeks ago, they also participated in FIFA Club World Cup in Japan where they won the championship. I can not understand why Alex Ferguson is unhappy with the fixture calendar. He said that his club is under pressure in English premier league. He said that whenever there is a UEFA Champions League match for Manchester United, in the next week there is an away match in English premier league too. Thus, playing two away matches become very difficult for the club. So, he has called for a better calendar fixture for the club next season.
